Use twice, very happy twice

5

I came to Nash & Co through a recommendation, which they thoroughly lived up to. During my first purchase with them I was very stressed out - calling Amanda at least once a week. Despite this she remained friendly, cheerful and professional throughout - long after I would have lost patience!
My second purchase has been quite complicated, but Amy, Alia and James have doggedly stuck with it, sorting out a lot of complicated detail for me in a calm and professional manner despite quite a bit of pressure from the other side. I'm completely happy with all the work done on my behalf.
Special mention to Claire on reception who is also super-helpful. This really is a firm where proactive, helpful and friendly professionalism is the ethos going all the way through. They make me feel included but also supported and protected, which is pretty much what I want from a lawyer.
Can't recommend enough.

Would 100% recommend

5

Amy and James dealt with the recent sale of my property and the purchase of our new home. The service and communication was impeccable and they were always at the end of the phone or happy to chat face to face whenever I had queries. I would 100% recommend Nash and Co and especial Amy Paterson and her wonderful team.

A superb law firm, with some lovely people working there! They helped us sell our house and move into a bungalow nearby and were absolutely terrific throughout. I genuinely couldn't have asked for more. Emily, James and Amy were all extremely helpful.

Emily has excellent

5

Alex and James helped with our property purchase - a residential property. I will never know how they got things done so quickly, but very pleased with their work that they did! following a request from us to handle the sale after we had been impressed with Emily's work on a previous commercial sale. Emily has excellent communication skills and kept us informed at every stage of the sale, ensuring we knew of developments as they arose.

Thank you so much to the team at Nash and Co for your help with our recent property purchase. Both Amy Patterson and James Kerswill were fantastic in the process. Everything was made simple for us to understand and executed in great time. They were also available for any questions we had at any time. This is the second time we have used the team for a house purchase and we would not hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you all again for your help.

Outstanding Service – Highly Recommend!

As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Amy and James were absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. They responded to my emails and enquiries incredibly quickly, which gave me so much peace of mind during what could have been a stressful time.

They explained every step clearly and patiently, making the whole process smooth and easy to understand. Thanks to their professionalism and support, I felt confident from start to finish.

I’m so grateful for their help and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, responsive, and knowledgeable solicitors. Thank you again, Amy and James! Thank you Nash and Co!!

Dear Nyein, thank you so so much for the ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, and for the fantastic review. Honestly, this will really make Amy and James' day. The recommendation means the world too. The Conveyancing team are really busy, but they understand how big a deal it is for clients when they buy a home (particularly their first one!), and always do everything that they can to get clients to exchange and completion as quickly as possible, with the minimum of fuss. And it's so appreciated, when clients recognise the efforts that the team go to. Thank you so much, we really appreciate it. All the very best in your new home!

Amy, James, Amanda, Vanessa and the rest of the team will be over the moon to hear your comments, thank you so much.

We used Nash&Co to purchase our new house. Everything was handled very quickly. In particular Amy & James were really good and were always happy to answer any questions.

We also found the app helpful, to stay up to date on where we were in the conveyancing process.

Thanks again!

I recently used Nash & Co. for advice on and drafting documentation to resolve some complex trust law and inheritance tax issues. David Cornelius and Amy Douch were good communicators and gave excellent advice - and after careers in both accountancy and the law I know the difference between good and bad in this field! They gave reasonable fixed fee quotes and completed the work promptly. I would definitely use them again.

I also used Nash & Co.'s conveyancing team for the sale of a residential property owned by the family trust. Conveyancing is a bit of a commodity product and it is difficult to differentiate between firms. The team of Amy Paterson, James Kerswill and Amanda Pickman stand out for their prompt, clear advice and speedy turnaround of documents and enquiries. If one member was away from the office another could, and did, pick up the file and do whatever was needed to prevent the sale from stalling. This was clearly not happening with the solicitors used by the purchaser. Nash & Co. were not the cheapest quote I obtained for the sale but given their performance I would say their fee was good value.

John, thank you so much for the review, the fantastic comments and the ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!! The teams will both be delighted to hear your comments and we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a 5* combined review. This will no doubt give anyone reading your review a really good background to how we work here at Nash. Our teams will always go above and beyond for our clients, and one thing that we really pride ourselves on is the speed and the communication that we give clients. You should never have to chase us. We aim to provide a very thorough and efficient service, for a reasonable fee. I'm really glad that it sounds like this is the service that you received. We'd never want to be the cheapest quote, as we find with law, you often get what you pay for. We want to give the very best service that we can, for fair and reasonable fee. It's so good to hear that you were happy with everything that the teams did for you, and that the individuals you named did a really good job. Again, we really appreciate you leaving such positive feedback and comments. This kind of review means the world to us as a firm and to the individuals you named. Thank you.
