Professionalism personified.

Antonella,
I write to express my sincere and heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for your highly professional and competent services that you provided in a friendly,forthwrite and accessible manner.
You were thorough, fair and transparent in the pros and cons of fighting my case, saving my reputation and establishing justice for which I will always be grateful.
Sometimes the psychological cost of winning must be compared with the financial and time cost to achieve the desired outcome.In my case they proved incompatible.
Thank you for saving me thousands of pounds and learning to embrace the fact that winning at any cost is not cost effective.

Disappointing experience with our property purchase

We used this firm for the purchase of our new home and were left very disappointed by the overall service. Communication was inconsistent and slow, with repeated chasing needed for basic updates. Important facts had to be clarified more than once, and the process felt disorganised throughout.

There were also serious errors — including a miscalculated Land Transaction Tax figure, which we caught and corrected ourselves just before completion. The handling of our mortgage porting and bridging finance was confused and caused significant delays.

Although communication improved towards the very end, it came too late to restore our confidence. We have since decided to use a different solicitor for the sale of our previous property. Based on this experience, we would not recommend this firm.

Friendly and efficient conveyancer.

Karen has made the whole process very stress free for me, for which I am incredibly grateful. She has taken time to explain anything I don't understand in a way that I do, and replies as soon as she can. Couldn't recommend her more!

Excellent guidance

On contacting Feakes & Co. Ltd with a particularly complicated legal issue, they gave, their time, listened and advised on the legal process to follow. Without this advice I would still be despairing with how to approach the issue. Can’t thank them enough.

Complex sale of Commercial Property

Acting on behalf our a mutual client I worked with Karen and her team on a disposal of a commercial property. It was a subject to planning deal that involved not only my client selling and a purchaser, but also a third party investor. This added to the complications and delays in planning meant the timescales were slower than expected. Throughout we were kept updated on the process. Advised on the best options and presented with solutions. We got there in the end and client was happy to sell! Thanks all

Application for Letters of Administration

I have used Feakes & Co to provide a Deed of Variation and apply for Letters of Administration following the death of my husband. I have also subsequently used their services to update my Will and am now in process of updating my Power of Attorney documents with them. They were efficient and value for money. A fixed price given with no unexpected extras.

I needed some help and advice on an obscure matter relating to a property that I own. It required investigation and careful analysis. Karen Hinchliffe delivered in full.
Throughout, she remained helpful and approachable.
Also Michael Feakes handled my will formalities superbly.
A highly professional operation.
