A thoroughly professional, efficient and personal service. Wayne and the conveyancing team were always approachable and actioned everything very quickly.
We have used Aldridge Brownlee Solicitors in Highcliffe before for various legal requirements and all of the staff have always been very helpful, particularly Andrew Lilley.
Thank you.

Aldridge Brownlee Solicitors was among the firms recommended by our house agent. I chose them because of a very satisfactory first meeting and a favourable quote.
Every aspect of our house sale and subsequent house purchase has been dealt with in a timely and most professional manner.
All the staff I encountered at the Highcliffe Office have been more than obliging. It has been a pleasure dealing with this firm and I would highly recommend them.

This firm, Highcliffe, a bit short on effective customer service. No face to face meet with a conveyancer. Could have been more proactive, in our case. Our sale and purchase lost. Part due to purchasers conveyancer asking unnecessary questions which we ourselves had to resolve with BCP council.
