Commercial Lease Advice

5

We were recommended to approach Karen at Feakes and Co when searching for a local Lawyer to help us through the tricky path of negotiating on a Commercial Lease.
Karen responded to our enquiry within under thirty minutes, services required and fee agreed within minutes.
From that moment Karen led us through all the legal documents and procedures updating us and advising on a daily basis.
We could not recommend Karen and Feakes &Co highly enough. Great, supportive professional communication and service. Thank you.

Outstanding Property Lawyer

5

Karen Hinchliffe recently handled the legal side of my residential property purchase, and I can honestly say she was outstanding from start to finish. Her expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward.

Karen was clear and reassuring throughout, always taking the time to explain things in plain language and keeping me fully informed at every stage. She was proactive, efficient, and incredibly thorough, giving me complete confidence that everything was being handled properly and without delay.

What really stood out was how approachable and supportive she was. It never felt like I was just another case—she genuinely cared about getting things right for me, and that personal touch made all the difference.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karen to anyone looking for a first-class residential property lawyer. She made the whole experience so much easier, and I’m really grateful for her help.

Swift, professional, caring, well informed and reasonably priced.
When I found myself feeling out of my depth and nervous with a tricky residential property boundary issue Karen the Partner at Feakes and Co. was the voice of calm, reason and quick to gather the facts and dispatch correspondence on my behalf. I had lost a few nights sleep before speaking with Karen and felt relieved once the situation was resolved. Michael Feakes has also helped me before on some contractual requirements and again was well informed, kind, friendly, straight forward and reasonably priced. I recommend Feakes and Co for their integrity, professionalism and being welcoming and helpful
