Support through difficult times

Over the past few years Belcher Addison have provided an excellent supportive service with Wills, LPAs and, unfortunately, two applications for probate. Solid support, empathy and advice throughout.

Great experience

Dealing with Claudia and Cordelia was a pleasure and so easy from start to finish - both very approachable and quick to keep us in the loop. We would highly recommend Belcher Addison and will be using again for our next Sale / Purchase. Thank you both!

Brilliant conveyancing experience with Tom Jolliffe

This is the second time that we have used Tom Joliffe for conveyancing. Brilliant experience! He was professional and had our back throughout the whole process. He tracked the process, gave great advice and support, tenacious, and always responded promptly. Also, Tom has always been very personable and fun to deal with. We would not hesitate in recommending Tom Joliffe and Belcher Addison.

Thorough, clear by professional staff.

As my old solicitor firm had closed I decided to use a locally based solicitor in Emsworth.
You definitely pay for the excellent, professional work undertaken but I know I will not have to worry about my estate for a while.
I was kept informed by the solicitor, Penny Smith, at all stages. She clearly explained the options available and produced a will that covered my wishes.

I was charged about £100 more than the top estimate given me which did cause a sharp intake of breath but after discussing the bill and getting a break down of the hours spent I accepted that £1086.90 was not too unreasonable.

First class solicitors.

In one of the most stressful times you can be in your life, moving home, to find a solicitor who not only brings calm and
Common sense to the situation as well as the legal knowledge but also a brilliant one to one personal touch where your calls are answered firsthand and every time and sometimes complex matters dealt with immediately is a very rare thing indeed . This is exactly the experience we had with our brilliant conveyancing executive Claudia Peach and her assistant Cordelia
Everything was dealt with-sent off etc last week! Nobody was kept waiting we were full speed ahead at whatever suited us kept informed etc constantly and because of Claudia’s invaluable experience anything slightly worrying to us was solved immediately and with such aplomb that even the purchasers of our property’s solicitors were impressed. We had a smooth ride that made moving into our dream home even more special and memorable ..we will never use anyone else now …..The whole experience was outstanding simply first class and exemplary in every way . We couldn’t be more grateful.
Look no further than Belcher Addison

Super efficient, very approachable, friendly solicitors, cannot fault a single thing. Even with a very complex process Keri and Angie were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. So refreshing to have solicitors who return your calls promptly and deal with every detail which in turn removes a lot of the stress involved in selling a home.

Highly recommend.

I would give these jokers 0 stars if I had the chance. So many mistakes made. They've cost me an absolute fortune through their incompetence.

It has been two weeks since I moved into my new apartment, the mountain of boxes has gone, and I feel like I have settled in. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Belcher Addison for all their very professional help throughout this more complicated and difficult situation. I would like to thank both Walter & Tom for their kindness and professionalism throughout the most difficult time in my life. The last day was very stressful, but Tom was cool & reassuring, thanks Tom! Kindest regards, Peter

Awful company. Let me down multiple times. They seemed to forget who their client was and seemed like they were working for my ex partner. Mutiple promises made that were broken through out. I wouldn't use this company again or any company associated with them. Very slow conveyancing caused by a conveyancing executive not doing what she was asked.
