Excellent Conveyance

Pardoes welcomed me with a professional, how can we help attitude.
From the get go, a very proactive service with an all staff members within the team who where assigned to work with you, knowing they have your interests at heart.
In particular Sophie Folland who took over our conveyance as lead who was immediately met with a very frustrating situation and a very long transition of just over 5 months.
Sophie dealt with this in a professional and proactive manner, communicating with Estate Agents, solicitors and ourselves efficiently expediting issues through to all parties concerned.
I could not recommend this company more for their professional proactive, efficient work ethic

Contentious probate

We retained Nigel Kinder from Pardoes solicitors. He was so helpful, upfront and professional. We had no idea how to manage our matters, but Nigel provided us with clear concise advice.
I would highly recommend him and his team, and would use them again if needed.There was honestly nothing that we were unhappy with,he was very focused.

We are more than happy with the service. As older clients it could have been daunting, instead we were respected and helped when we were unsure.
Communication was efficient and unprompted, a pleasurable experience.

Disappointing and embarrassing

The service, or lack of, you have recently provided for my dad was disappointing and embarrassing to your profession.
‘Looking after you and your family’ needs to re-worded, the inconvenience, time and cost you have created for my dad, never lived up to your byline!
My dad’s dyslexia cost him nearly £200.00 in extra help, something he has never had considered being charged for.
Would we be willing to recommend you? no! Particularly if you have a SEND!

Review of professional services for sale of property

From initial contact all the way through to completion I was extremely pleased with the service I received. All emails and questions were answered immediately, making the process practically stress free for me.

I had to do very little chasing, and I was always given a full explanation as to why things may have been taking longer than expected. I felt like a priority, which in previous similar situations, is not always the case. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to choose Pardoes.

Conveyancing

Pardoes conveyancing team, particularly Debbie, proved to be friendly, efficient and wholly professional in everything they did for my sister in law who had to sell her house and move to a care home.

They were very supportive and understood the family circumstances, which are a bit complex, immediately they were explained.

I can honestly recommend this firm to anyone who has to buy or sell a property. They are probably not the cheapest around but if you want a professional expect to pay a fair price.

The sale of a property.

As always efficient and professional. From my point of view a difficult sale that took longer than anticipated, but completed by the efficiency of this team headed by Nicola Hughes. I want to click on all the boxes of how to describe this firm, but think I have covered the essence of their working practices.

Sale of No8 Albany House, HA8 5AL

Considering there were 2 previous buyers before this sale, the first dropping out as I could not get Vacant Possession in time and the second, as I chose to offer No8 to a new buyer. The Conveyancing was dealt with efficiently and in good spirit.
Leasehold sales are now particularly difficult to find a buyer and to Complete the Conveyancing.
Overall, a good result.

Hi Peter, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. As you have said Leasehold sales are now difficult to deal with, particularly with various third parties being involved via the Landlord and Management Companies; this coupled with the current legislation over ground rent provisions and ever changing lender requirements which differ from lender to lender, make the process challenging. I am glad that we got the outcome of the completed sale. Kind regards, Nicola.

Our purchase was looked after very well by Sophie Folland and her team. Sophie was very professional, friendly and was quick to respond to all our questions. Importantly for us, Sophie completed the process rapidly, in fact faster than any of our previous property purchases. We can’t recommend Sophie or Pardoes highly enough, they provide an excellent service at a reasonable price in contrast to solicitors we’ve used in the past. 5*

Negligent solicitors, paid money upfront for counsel opinion, did not do this and kept the money and completely let me down, Judge said its negligence. Did not put matters right. Shameful negligent incompetent solicitors.
