Couldn't have asked for better service during my recent property transaction. I will certainly be recommending to my family and friends and will be sure to use again for my next property purchase.

Purchase fell through but would gladly instruct again.

We instructed Natalie Hall when trying to buy our first house. Although our purchase sadly fell through due to unforeseen circumstances, we would absolutely go back to Natalie again. Throughout the process, she was responsive, proactive, thorough, and supportive.

Leanne Dalby was also very lovely and super helpful.

Avoid - should not be practicing

Incompetent. Do not deliver as per their Terms and Conditions. Costs excessive and questionable. Communication shocking. Do not like complaints and do not handle fairly. Have taken up with the Legal Ombudsman.

Not a man to be trusted
Mediation attitude is arrogant and self centred
No regard to looking after his customers
Complaint handling is arrogant and in the dark ages keeping information from clients

Wonderful service provided from Hethertons by Leanne during the purchase of my partner and I’s first house. As first time buyers, it was definitely daunting at first, however Leanne did an excellent job for us and made the whole thing so much easier and stress-free. Thoroughly recommend for residential conveyancing services!
