Pulled out in the stops

We had a tricky remortgage to negotiate and Liz and the team pulled out all the stops to get this completed in a very tight timescale too.
Highly recommended.

Just starting the process, but given that other firms did not reply to any emails and others won't touch buildings that are too tall, Poole Alcock are already doing much better than the rest

Sale of Uncles Property

We had some ups and downs selling this property with sales made and pulled out of several times. Then when we got a sale it was not completed when my uncle passed away and it had to go to probate, the lady in question understandably pulled out.
Within days it was sold again to a lady who was willing to wait the approximate wait of 22 weeks for probate to be granted.
While all this was going on the staff at Poole Alcock were brilliant always keeping me up to date and advising me . They prepared everything ready so as soon as the probate was granted the sale could go through without delay.
Sure enough the probate was granted and within hours the sale went through.
I could not believe it , a brilliant service. The staff have been brilliant throughout and after a nerve wrecking wait it all went through without a hitch. It has been such a relief mainly due to the efficiency of the staff at Poole Alcock newbuildteam2.

Thank you so much

Fantastic customer service, dealt with our first house purchase extremely efficiently, kept in contact at every point of the transaction and kept us informed every step of the way.

Thank you to Lisa Ball for her support and guidance through an incredibly stressful and distressing divorce. I found her knowledge, patience, kindness and empathy reassuring and she was with me at every stage; a true asset to Poole Alcock. So much so, I have used them to write my will and also intend to for conveyancing.
