super support and help throughout

This was a challenging BTL refinancing Alisha quickly spotted issues with the M&AA and how it should be addressed as well as a Land regustry notice that previous solicitors had not addressed meaning the loan could not be drawn down. Client had to get own legal advice but she offered initial help how to get this notice removed.
The client i know was very appreciative .
Communication was prompt and helpful throughout which really helped the client .
I have dealt with numerous firms in the past but Poole Alcock was just so easy to deal with and owned the transaction until completion
Thank you Alisha

Perfectly handled my employment settlement agreement

Facing redundancy my employer gave me a settlement agreement to consider. After negotiating the terms myself with my employer, I contacted Poole Alcock for some final advice and they booked me in within 3 days to see Jamie Riseley. We spent 45minutes on a zoom call going over my situation and the document and he made sure I totally understood my rights and what I was signing. He was very lovely, informative and sympathetic to the situation. We signed the document online and this was all wrapped up quickly within the budget set out by my employer in the agreement so I wasn't out of pocket. Fantastic service, would recommend this firm to anyone going through the same thing.

Very seamless process!

Reached out to Poole Alcock to deal with my redundancy agreement. Very easy process from filling out details, getting a call to take basic information the next day and then booking in a Zoom call to go through the agreement. All done quick and easy with very little hassle which is what I was looking for. Thanks!

Great service, they were very helpful and took a lot of the stress out of buying and selling the house. Always on the phone or quickly replying to emails to answer my questions, would definitely recommend.

James and his team were brilliant from start to finish. Managed my expectations, kept communication throughout each stage of the process and pushed until the last day to get my purchase through before the deadline. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
