As good as it gets I would imagine.
Usual solicitors. Always 'waiting', never chasing.
All the contacts that I had at Risdons were all very pleasant.

Seamless

5

Buying & selling a house is the most stressful thing people say you can do but Mercedes at Risdons handled everything for us, making it completely stress free & a seamless couple of transactions.
I was really pleased with the level of detail she provided & contacted me only when I needed to sign something. Everything was managed so well from start to finish.
I can highly recommend using their services.
I know I will be back. Thanks.

Super service

5

Risdons are my go to solicitors. Excellent, reliable & accurate service throughout. I know that I can trust their advice without question. Communication from the entire team was excellent & I was kept updated at all times through the sale & purchase of our new house.
I knew that I could leave it to the team to deliver exactly what was needed without having to chase constantly.
I will be using their services again when needed without question. Many thanks.

Moving House

5

We have used Risdons solicitors for a number of house moves. Their service has always been prompt, courteous and professional. We recently received an unexpected overpayment from our recent house move which was a welcome surprise!
Mercedes at the Williton branch was excellent and guided us through the process with ease.
