Truly professional and caring.

At every stage of what became a long process, I felt that Emily had my interests at heart and was on my side. She actually cared. Thoroughly professional, always available, Emily made what was a difficult and complex process understandable and survivable. Thank you very much Emily.

Great firm, would definitely recommend!

Emily and everyone at Larcombes are amazing! I was always kept well informed, even if we were struggling to get updates from third parties - Emily was always reachable and had no issues coming back to me when needed. I would recommend Emily and Larcombes to anyone.

Emily was incredible!

Emily (Merrett) expertly managed all the legal aspects of both the sale and purchase of our new home. Her attention to detail and thoroughness in investigating every aspect of the process gave us great peace of mind on such significant purchase. We truly appreciate her diligence and professionalism throughout the entire transaction, and could not recommend her enough.

Impressed. I feel I made the right choice

Carla was very responsive and helpful throughout my sale and purchase process. She answered my questions and provided comprehensive documentation for my records. Going the extra mile for me by chasing up sellers due to unexpected locksmith costs… I’m glad with my choice and would recommend Larcomes.

Julian was recommended by a friend and was exceptional from start to finish. A man with years of experience who was easy to talk to, he provided information in layman's terms when the jargon got too much and simplified what was required to administer my fathers estate. The process was smooth from start to finish and since then i’ve had the odd query and he’s responded right away with the information I required.

I used Larcomes in Waterlooville for the sale of my house - They were outstanding.
Rosie & Oliver were so easy to converse with & always available when you needed to make any contact.

This is the worst solicitor office in Portsmouth. If you want to get things done quickly and with less hassle then I strongly advise you to keep away from this office. They don’t even stand by your side. You constantly get asked unnecessarily questions which will drag everything and you can’t go anywhere with this firm.
