Fantastic Experience From Start To Finish

Richard and the team at Williamsons Solicitors have been fantastic with the purchase of our first home. The process wasn't straight forward for various reason but Richard clearly explained everything to us and gave us our options and made sure we fully understood them.

Richard worked extremely hard for us to ensure we completed before Christmas which included evening and weekend calls and emails sometime late into the evening and early mornings which we truly appreciate.

The service from the whole team was fantastic and I will certainly use them again in the future and would highly recommend Williamsons Solicitors to anyone looking for conveyancing.

House sale and purchase

Richard got the sale and purchase to completion despite many complications (no fault of Williamsons) and despite all the obstacles and setbacks he was always helpful and on the case.

Excellent conveyancing experience

Richard was professional, courteous and provided answers and information in a timely manner. Even thought our house sale was straightforward, Richard’s handling of the matter was clear and thoughtful, and had any complications arisen I am sure he would have dealt with them in a similar manner.

I would have no hesitation in using Richard again and in recommending him to others.

Organising my Lasting Powers of Attorney

Bethany is a lovely person, very helpful, and guides you through all the options. I arranged my Lasting Powers of Attorney papers. It was done quite easily with all the explanations you need to know. I would definitely recommend her as she really helped me over so many issues.
