Excellent service with exceptional knowledge -

I have put off writing my will for a long time - we don’t like to face our mortality ! However I feel a weight lifted from my shoulders after going to see Georgie - she was so knowledgable, supportive, approachable and I feel lucky to have had the experience!

Flat Purchase

We had an excellent experience with our solicitors. When the first seller unexpectedly took the property off the market, they made sure we understood all the potential consequences, keeping us well-informed and prepared. When we found another property, they guided us through every specific detail involved. Their expertise and clear communication ensured that we were aware of everything necessary for a smooth transaction. Thanks to their dedication and support, the entire process was much easier than we anticipated. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive solicitor!

Mortgage process

From start to finish, I had quick, clear and transparent communication at almost any time of the day in regards to the mortgage process and what was required, also helping with any questions I may have had big or small. I can honestly say the help from the team at Pardoes, Yeovil was nothing short of exceptional and utterly flawless. A special thank you to Sasha Loveridge and Yseult Fell, much appreciated efforts from Charlotte and I, the speedy process was highly desired by ourselves and the previous property owner.

Pardoes staff - Sophie and Rachel - were friendly and courteous, but we did feel that the process took longer than it should have done and that some tasks could have been done earlier than they were. However, we realise a lot of delay came from the buyer's solicitors. Also, in the period following confirming the completion date, everything did happen very quickly.

I assume people seeking help with contentious probate are new to the unpleasant experience. I feel fortunate that my solicitor, Nigel guided me to a resolution efficiently and with patience and good humour.

I have to say hands down Sasha and her team at Pardoes went above and beyond in my sale and purchase. What should have been a straight forward sale, my buyer complicated and caused delays. Sasha, kept me informed, calmed, and was really quick with responses and turn around. She is the reason we got it finally pushed through. I would highly recommend using their services, I don't think it would have gone the same way without them.
