As good as it gets I would imagine.
Usual solicitors. Always 'waiting', never chasing.
All the contacts that I had at Risdons were all very pleasant.

Quick deal

Risdons dealt with the sale of my parents house, it was achieved with efficiency and speed. Communication was good and explanations of issues were provided over the phone or face to face.

Buying & selling a house is the most stressful thing people say you can do but Mercedes at Risdons handled everything for us, making it completely stress free & a seamless couple of transactions.
I was really pleased with the level of detail she provided & contacted me only when I needed to sign something. Everything was managed so well from start to finish.
I can highly recommend using their services.
I know I will be back. Thanks.

Super service

Risdons are my go to solicitors. Excellent, reliable & accurate service throughout. I know that I can trust their advice without question. Communication from the entire team was excellent & I was kept updated at all times through the sale & purchase of our new house.
I knew that I could leave it to the team to deliver exactly what was needed without having to chase constantly.
I will be using their services again when needed without question. Many thanks.

Words are not enough!


I approached Risdons to help with my recent conveyancing, both selling and purchasing properties and I really cannot speak highly enough of the service I received throughout the entire process from the Minehead team.
Approachable, reassuring, supportive, super efficient and communicative are just a few of the qualities that I have been delighted to share with friends who have enquired after my ' House status' updates!

Risdon Hosegood were recommended to us by our Agent and they have been exceptional and managed to get us moved from start to completion within 9 weeks. It have been frustrating at times with issues at the top of the chain but they have been pushed and chased throughout the process for which we are very grateful.

During the process, the Risdons email server was hacked by criminals. As a result, we received the wrong instructions for paying a large amount. Now Risdons refuses all cooperation and does not want to compensate for the damage.
They are old-fashioned and use temporary staff. They do not take any responsibility and sometimes it takes weeks before you hear that the person handling your case has left. In the meantime, nothing happens and you are left to your fate.

Be careful what you do if you take advice from this office.
