Review for remortgage team

I recently had the pleasure of working with the remortgage team at Poole Alcock, and I am delighted to share my experience. From start to finish, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, efficiency, and dedication, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transaction.

A special mention goes to Alisha, whose outstanding efforts truly stood out. Alisha's meticulous attention to detail, proactive communication, and unwavering commitment were pivotal in making this process seamless.Alisha's expertise and dedication ensured that everything was handled promptly and accurately, exceeding our expectations.

Additionally, I would like to thank James and Nic for their excellent support and assistance. Their combined efforts, along with Alisha's leadership, made this remortgage experience remarkably smooth. They were always there to help in every possible way, ensuring that the process was completed quickly and efficiently.

We are incredibly grateful for the hard work and dedication of the entire Poole Alcock remortgage team. The level of service we received was truly outstanding, and we highly recommend them to anyone in need of remortgaging services.

Thank you once again, especially to Alisha, for your exceptional work and for making this experience as smooth and pleasant as possible.

From the moment I picked up the phone, Eve just knew exactly how to put me at ease. We were having a bad experience with a firm and were looking to switch and Eve took the time to listen to all of our concerns and gave us all the information we needed, with a no pressure approach.

Really looking forward to proceeding with this firm. Thank you Eve!

Agree to Cap fixed fee for termination contract

Solicitors actively engaged, had great advise, got me more money than expected, and capped their fees at the amount the company allowed me, so no further cost to me.

Re redundancy consultation. Very professional and efficient in dealings with employer making redundancies and end user. All files and forms completed accurately and clearly. Great at chasing down employer HR department when responses are delayed and/or slow. Recommended!

I filled in the contact request form on the Poole Alcock website and within 2 hours I was called back and a zoom/meeting set up for 2 days later with a senior solicitor/ partner. I’d also been contacted by Kellie one of the team - senior support assistant for various things that needed to be in order so we could progress the case efficiently. I was really impressed and then during the meeting with Jamie I found him to be exceptionally professional providing sound advice, discussing various circumstances affecting my situation and recommending different paths for resolution. I’ve found the company to be really professional and very responsive and wouldn’t hesitate to contact them in future about other legal matters.
