Previous "city" solicitors failed to advise us to update or make new Wills and create trusts to protect our property. Risdons explained, in simple terms what should be executed. their service was most professional and all matters and documentation easily undertaken.

From our initial meeting and throughout the whole procedure, I found Mr Balchin and members of staff I had contact with to be extremely approachable and helpful. For someone who found the procedure rather daunting initially they were very patient in answering my many questions and smoothed the way.
I have no hesitation in recommending Risdons solicitors to any one.

Our Solicitor was very kind, patient and knowledgeable. We are certain we could NOT have achieved our documents successfully ourselves. We now have full security that if needed, they are legally correct and will save any confusion at a later time. thank you Hugh, very much.

As an Executor with no prior experience of Risdons I feel the company is taking on more work than the solicitors and their staff can manage resulting in poor interaction with clients and unforced errors in paperwork which I consider unacceptable given the very high charges the profession charges for their services.

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.

When buying our first house at the end of last year we chose Risdon, thank god we did! The team at Minehead were so helpful. Catherine and Andrew were brilliant and efficient and our experience was seamless. Thank you for making our experience a pleasant one.

Paula from Risdon Hosegood in Taunton acted for our sale and purchase in Yeovil. We were delighted with the service and found everyone friendly and extremely helpful. Even when we thought we had hit a brick wall with a legal issue it was sorted out quickly effectively and efficiently and we were given great communication. We would highly recommend the company and use them again in the future.
