Efficient, reliable and friendly

Having dealt with conveyances where you feel you need to chase to get the process completed, the team at Couchman Hanson are a breath of fresh air.

From the first email they were quick to respond, always seemed to be one step ahead and very efficient at getting the job done. Always friendly and a pleasure to work with.

Thank you.

Expert Guidance Through a Challenging Divorce

Going through a divorce is undoubtedly one of the most challenging experiences one can face, and my journey was particularly arduous, spanning over five years due to the complexity of asset division and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) implications. However, having Nikki by my side made this difficult process much more manageable.

From the outset, Nikki demonstrated an extraordinary level of compassion and understanding, which was crucial during such an emotionally taxing time. She took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the process, ensuring I was well-informed and comfortable with the decisions being made. Her expertise in navigating the intricate landscape of tax and asset division was particularly impressive. Nikki's knowledge of the best strategies for dealing with CGT and asset splits was invaluable, providing me with clear guidance and options tailored to my unique situation.

Communication with Nikki was seamless; she was incredibly responsive, consistently getting back to me straight away. This promptness not only alleviated a great deal of anxiety but also ensured that no time was wasted in progressing the case. Her ability to provide timely and detailed updates kept me in the loop and allowed me to make informed decisions promptly.

She ensured that my interests were always at the forefront of negotiations.

If you find yourself in need of a divorce solicitor, I wholeheartedly recommend Nikki – she will not only handle your case with the utmost professionalism but also provide the empathy and support needed during such a challenging time.

5-star service for my divorce

It was a pleasure to work with Nikki on my divorce settlement. I don’t think we were the easiest of clients as we (well, my ex-wife) kept changing our minds about a number of important parts of the deal, but Nikki was always there to help and offer valuable advice. I don’t recommend divorce to anyone, but if you do face this challenge, I’d 100% recommend getting Nikki and the Couchman Hanson team in your corner.

After our sale collapsing four times Couchman Hanson, particularly Gemma, were on the ball with every aspect and every possible sale. Will definitely use them again and they are so lucky having Gemma as part of their team.

Advice regarding property and the Deed of Consent folllowing my divorc

Excellent advice from Nikki who then corresponded proactively with my ex-husband - as a result he has not pursued the matter despite threatening to do so.

I used Coachman Hanson when I sold my house recently and sadly through their inexperience, which they acknowledged but didn’t admit to until 2 months into the proceedings, I potentially lost £100,000 on the sale of my home.

I would Highly recommend Couchman Hanson. I recently used Mike Brown to over see the sale of my commercial property. It turned out to be not the most strait forward process, however Mike was always incredibly helpful, attentive and insightful. Often going above and beyond to give advice where needed and to help the process on its way. Great service.

I have used Couchman Hanson twice now since moving to the Haslemere area, and have on both occasions been extremely impressed with the levels of service, quality of advice given, prompt responses to queries, and taking as much admin out of my hands as possible. In my personal capacity, I have no hesitation in recommending the firm to others.

I have worked with Head of Employment Law Emily Yeardley on domestic and international challenges, and her advice, approach, and tenacity are first class. Having spent my career advising multi-nationals for more than 25 years, I recommend Emily unreservedly as one of the most consummate and trustworthy professionals I’ve had the pleasure to encounter.
