Karen has made the whole process very stress free for me, for which I am incredibly grateful. She has taken time to explain anything I don't understand in a way that I do, and replies as soon as she can. Couldn't recommend her more!

Complex sale of Commercial Property

5

Acting on behalf our a mutual client I worked with Karen and her team on a disposal of a commercial property. It was a subject to planning deal that involved not only my client selling and a purchaser, but also a third party investor. This added to the complications and delays in planning meant the timescales were slower than expected. Throughout we were kept updated on the process. Advised on the best options and presented with solutions. We got there in the end and client was happy to sell! Thanks all

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.
