Lease for premises

This review is for a different branch.

I have used Lucy's services on 2 separate occasions, both times in relation to retail premises. Lucy is informative, keeps in touch regularly and explained everything in a "non" lawyer way to make sure I fully understood what was happening asking the way. The second time of working with Lucy she actually saved us a lot of time and money by amending what the landlord's solicitor was recommending. I would definitely recommend Lucy and will always use her services in future if and when required.

Making a rough transaction smooth!

This review is for a different branch.

I work as an estate agent and normally refer to another conveyancer but chose to work with Helen on a personal sale of mine.

The property wasn’t digitally registered so the initial meeting with Helen was a great help making sure we selected the right buyer and were up front with any restrictions in the title in advance. Most firms wouldn’t even open a file until a buyer was found.

Helen performed above expected standards throughout the transaction, particularly on the customer service front but the thing that stood out was no matter how many barriers the other side put up Helen didn’t give up and kept pushing.

The total transaction took around 20 weeks which was frustrating but there is no doubt in my mind that it would have been closer to 25/30 weeks without Helen and team. In my mind she saved me a huge amount of money in insurances, council tax and other payments by her proactive approach and never say die attitude!

If you’re choosing a conveyancer I can’t emphasise how important it is to choose someone who isn’t scared to pick the phone up, be proactive and is tenacious. If you make the wrong choice it’ll be too late once you realise! I would say you can’t go wrong with Helen and team.

Grateful beyond words

I received invaluable advice and support from Vicki McLynn and her team (Corrie) during a difficult separation and divorce over a 2 1/2 year period. Vicki guided me with friendly professionalism and expert knowledge from start to finish. I would recommend Vicki without hesitation.

Incredible support from Louise Richardson

This review is for a different branch.

I found Slater Heelis after reading reviews online and I'm so pleased I chose them to support me through family court. Despite being as stressful as you can imagine, Louise was there for me every step of the way with sound advice and a pro-active approach that ultimately led to the outcome we wanted. If you are looking for advice and guidance through the process, please bear the Slater Heelis team in mind, you will be in good hands.

Multiple concurrent property transactions

This review is for a different branch.

Helen acted for us during the sale of our home, purchase of a new build property and also the purchase of a leasehold apartment. She was meticulous in all areas, and worked hard to resolve several issues that she identified. Always approachable, queries were answered promptly and regularly converted into layman's terms to assist understanding. We would definitely use her again.

Codicil prepared to existing will

This review is for a different branch.

New baby in family required a Codicil to existing will to give the same entitlement to the new member as his siblings.
The company acted quickly and professionally, with clear instructions and requests. The only difficulty was in gaining access to their building to deliver requested papers. The entry buttons were partially covered and unclear, and a badge was requested (?); fortunately people coming into the building assisted, and the receptionist on the counter was extremely helpful.
This must have been a glitch, I would definitely recommend the solicitors and use them again if necessary.
Many thanks to the company for their courtesy, especially to Ms Nasreen. Aslam.

I would like to express my gratitude to solicitor Amy Price for the professional advice and guidance she provided during my divorce case. She was incredibly efficient, compassionate, and always responded with remarkable speed. Before I met Amy, I had dealt with other solicitors from different firms who were not as helpful, and I ended up wasting quite a bit of money. That experience made me realize how fortunate I was to find Amy and how efficient she is. Now that my case has finally come to a conclusion, I especially want to thank her for the hard work and dedication she put into it.
