Successful outcome of a protracted property sale.

It took 2 years, 5 buyers and a grant of probate application to sell my Mother's property but Linsey and staff stuck with me all of the way.
The only slight issue I had was with the initial fee quoted that, although not exorbitant, was somewhat higher than the 'Purchase or sale of a freehold or leasehold residential property information on costs' document on the website led me to expect. As far I can tell this document is no longer on the website.
After we had agreed the fee Cartmell Shepherd were good to deal with, proffesional throughout and very fair with cancellation costs when sales fell through for various reasons.

Recommendation

This review is for a different branch.

I have greatly valued Amy and her support over the last few years. She has given excellent legal advice and I have appreciated her calm and kind reassurance, especially when matters became fraught. I have been able to rely on her superior legal expertise, and to have confidence that the advice and direction given would always be correct.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Amy as a truly exceptional family law solicitor.

Brilliant service!

This review is for a different branch.

I contacted Cartmell Shepard for an issue with a neighbour dispute regarding property boundaries. I was initially concerned and nervous about the situation but after talking to Rob I felt reassured straight away about the case and what he was going to do. Rob was assertive and direct in his approach and as such the problem has been resolved.

I am really thankful to the Rob and Josie for helping me to feel heard, understood and reassured. And helping to resolve to this issue.

Thank you!
