Paul's knowledge and professional guidance was absolutely invaluable

This review is for a different branch.

We have used Slater Heelis in the past as did our parents and always found them to be very professional and reliable.
We used Paul Baker to deal with our mother’s estate after she passed. It was of great comfort to us to have Paul handle this. IHT is extremely complicated, so many forms to complete not for the faint hearted, there was really no way we could even have attempted it. Paul's knowledge and professional guidance was absolutely invaluable. Thankyou

Could not have been better...

This review is for a different branch.

I am truly appreciative of the top quality work that David Jones and his assistant Lorna have done for me over the past 8 years. With numerous property transactions in this time, we have come across some very poor conveyancers acting for the other side, sometimes with a serious lack of knowledge of the law. David has shown his real quality in dealing with these difficult situations to ensure that the relevant transactions Completed successfully. The same quality has been exhibited by other departments of Slater Heelis we have had to deal with such as Wills and Probate. Would I risk using another firm in the future? No!

Ashleigh Kelly was engaged to obtain probate and then administer an estate on behalf of the executors. Her actions were always exceedingly prompt and highly professional and we were kept informed at all stages of the process. She is highly recommended.

I am not too experienced with domestic conveyancing. Are any of us? So when we accepted an offer for our home, it was time to find a great lawyer. And we did! Zara Banday metaphorically ‘took our hands’ and guided us from start to finish with skill, care, consideration and most importantly with our best interests in mind at all times. I know that Zara will have been dealing with many clients simultaneously but she never failed to reply to an email, return a call or respond to our buyer’s solicitor, all in a timely fashion.

She is also rather adept at offering help to her counterpart from the buyers legal team when they rely on an inexperienced solicitor who doesn’t appear to know what to do. .

I don’t often recommend because it can get you into trouble. But on this occasion I can unhesitatingly advise anyone who is reading this, to contact Zara Banday at Slater Heelis. Selling your house is likely to be the biggest transaction of your life. I urge you to get Zara on your team before your buyer nips in ahead of you!!

I would like to express my gratitude to solicitor Amy Price for the professional advice and guidance she provided during my divorce case. She was incredibly efficient, compassionate, and always responded with remarkable speed. Before I met Amy, I had dealt with other solicitors from different firms who were not as helpful, and I ended up wasting quite a bit of money. That experience made me realize how fortunate I was to find Amy and how efficient she is. Now that my case has finally come to a conclusion, I especially want to thank her for the hard work and dedication she put into it.
