Kieron and the team at Risdons were always available to deal with queries I had. Dealt with everything efficiently and in a timely manner. Using Risdons took away some of the stress of moving home. Would recommend.

House purchase

Kieron was very helpful in making sure all the legal paperwork for he purchase of our first house was all taken care of. Myself and my partner were shocked at how quickly we got from placing an offer on our house to completion 5 weeks later.
Kieron really took the stress out of moving and made it so much more enjoyable for us by taking control of all the paperwork and updating us regularly.

Such a smooth and great experience !
As first-time buyers, we really appreciated how they walked us through every step of the process and answered all our questions along the way.
Easy to reach, never had to wait long for answers, Kieron was friendly and professional in all our meetings.

Moving house

I have nothing but praise for the way Risdon's handled our move from Wokingham to Bishops Lydeard. They were efficient, kept us informed of the progress of both our sale and purchase at all times and I would thoroughly recommend their services. My two solicitors were always on hand to answer questions and queries. My last move was over thirty years ago and I was not familiar with all the legalities and procedures I had to adopt. They helped us through the process with the minimum of fuss and relieved any stress we might have experienced.

Such a great service

We purchased a new build off of a developer and they recommended Risdon’s to us and we are glad they did. Kieron was so helpful and always quick to respond which put our mind at ease. We would definitely use him and the firm again.

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.
