Exceptional Service from Start to Finish

5

Having recently completed a particularly complex property purchase, I can say with complete confidence that the service I received from Debra and Harriet at Easthams was nothing short of exceptional. As someone who has purchased several properties over the years, I’ve experienced a wide range of solicitors – but none have matched the responsiveness, accessibility, and sheer professionalism that Debra and Harriet provided throughout this transaction.

There were challenges along the way, but they navigated each one with skill and clarity, always keeping me well-informed and ahead of the process. What really stood out was their availability – they were genuinely accessible at all times and incredibly prompt in their replies, something that made a huge difference in what could have been a far more stressful experience.

I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment in recommending either of them – they are a credit to Easthams and an asset to anyone looking for a reliable, experienced, and client-focused conveyancing team.

Fantastic service as always

I've used easthams for many years now, Debra dealing with our commercial needs, Kim and Adele our domestic needs.

Easthams are highly professional, fairly priced and always on point, a breeze to deal with. I have recommended them to many colleagues and friends and will continue to do so.

Such a brilliant solicitor

Debra Hepplestall (and assistant Harriet) were absolutely brilliant dealing with a difficult commercial sale on a tight deadline. They were so professional but also friendly and helpful. I can't thank them enough.

1st Class Service

5

Throughout our selling and purchasing journey, which was extremely challenging on numerous occasions, all at Easthams Solicitors were outstanding. I can honestly say I have never experienced anything close to the level of service from any other firm of Solicitors. Hannah, Deborah, Harriet, and Jade would regularly go above and beyond and it wouldn't be unusual for them to work over the weekends and even whilst on annual leave.
Whilst it is likely we won't require conveyancing in the future (but who knows), if we do, there is no doubt in our minds we will be calling on the services of Easthams again. Would I recommend to friends? 100%

We were recommended to Debra at Easthams for the sale of our leasehold business and we have been delighted with the professional service that we received from both Debra and her assistant Harriet who were both helpful and easy to talk to. The sale of our business was not straightforward, due to others in the chain, but everything was dealt with efficiently, with support and information given throughout the process. I would highly recommend.

Debra at Easthams is somebody I immediately felt I could trust. She is so easy to talk to; and she was very helpful to me at a difficult time, which I appreciate beyond measure. I will definitely be using Easthams again for any future legal issues, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
