Excellent service.

I was recommended Risdons to use for a house sale that I was POA for. All went smoothly until a serious glitch occurred that was not our fault. However, a solution was found using common sense and all was completed satisfactorily.
All the Staff I dealt with were very friendly and approachable, especially Charlie Pole.

Excellent service once again!

Dealing with Emma, Charley and Harriet for the fourth time to completion plus a couple of sales and purchases that fell through along the way was just as good as the first three times. Absolutely first class professional service but also - almost as important was their friendly interest and concern through what turned out to be a very stressful time. In the nicest possible way now I'm in my forever home, I hope not to need their services again but will continue to recommend them very highly to anyone who will listen!

Highly recommend

My family would highly recommend Risdons solicitors. Emma and Charlie worked hard to keep things moving swiftly and efficiently as possible. Keeping in regular contact with us throughout the process. They were both always very friendly and helpful when meeting with them in person or talking to them in the phone.
Would definitely use them again and highly recommend them.

Could not have asked for a better experience!!

Communication was excellent throughout. Answered all my queries (and there were many) both timely and at a level I could understand. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm and should any future needs arise, they will be my first port of call.

Went with Risdon Minehead branch to buy my first home. The whole process was much faster than expected and within eight weeks I had the keys to the house!

Caz and Kate were very helpful and always able to answer any questions throughout the process. They went the extra mile to make sure I had everything I required legally which included creating extra documents at my request which wouldn't usually be required for buying a property, just purely for my benefit and personal circumstances.

Overall I can't fault them. Really helpful and would definitely go with Risdon Minehead branch again.

We are very happy with our experience of using Risdon Hosegood. They dealt with everything that was required in a highly efficient manner. We found the person dealing with our conveyancing, Megan, to be very helpful and friendly. She was quick to answer all of our questions and dealt with matters in a timely and professional way. Very grateful, she made what could have been a very stressful time much easier.
