Property sale

I would like to say thank you to both Rachael and Victoria for their support and commitment towards the sale of my home. Always friendly, professional and responsive to any questions or concerns I had. I also particularly liked the use of the firms online app, so I could track the progress of my sale at anytime and send instant messages to the team. This made the whole process faster and more efficient with less paper. I would highly recommend them to others.

We were reasonably satisfied with the service provided but some matters seemed to take quite a long time with no contact to say why. On a couple of occasions things only seemed to move after we had queried the delay. It would have been helpful to have received an email to explain the delay and alleviate the concern during what is a stressful time for the vendor.

As a first time buyer, I had no idea what to expect or what the process of buying a house would be. Everything was explained clearly and in a way I would understand. No question felt silly to ask. Communication was excellent, was easy and fast to get response whether that was through there app or by phone. Even when there was annual leave happening, my file was still being continued and overseen by others and moving forward. I would 100% recommend anyone, and I know I would not go anywhere else if I was to need there services again.

From first contact, all information was communicated effectively and quickly. Clear instructions were given for completion of documents and updates were given regularly on the app so I barely had to contact my solicitor and their team. I’ve never used a solicitor that has been so responsive and the speed at which any of my messages were answered was outstanding - always on the same day. There were various complications that arose from further down the chain and my solicitor worked incredibly hard on the day of completion to continually chase matters, her approach felt so personal and she was so invested in making sure we moved as planned.
Sam Austin was amazing. There were so many problems at the beginning of the chain from the buyer’s solicitor and Sam went over and above to continually push things at that end. She took a personal interest in getting us moved as planned and was so invested in the work she did which I know caused so much frustration at times. If it wasn’t for Sam’s determination, we would not have moved on the day we were packed up and I can’t thank her enough.

As a first time buyer, and not knowing the process, it would have been nice to be given a weekly update (regardless of wether there was an update or not) as there were times I was the one to ask for updates.

Chris was utterly brilliant. I'd had a house sale fall through prior to this sale (with a different solicitors) and so was very nervous about this one. Chris responded to emails promptly, managed expectations perfectly and fulfilled all of his duties quickly and professionally. Thank you so much for making a daunting process much easier.
