Have used Risdons previously for buying and selling property. Have just used them to update my Will. Have also been discussing Lasting Powers of Attorney. On all subjects they have been excellent with their advice would definitely recommend this company.

Led my wife and I through the process thankyou.
However, receiving a final demand for a review i found to be annoying. I doubt it's a legal obligation.

Brilliant 👏

Liz at Risdons Solicitors was absolutely brilliant. Liz is fast acting and helped us complete in a short time frame. We never understood the process when starting but Liz explained everything to us is a way we would understand with great communication throughout. I am so glad we had Liz and will be definitely using Risdons Solicitors in the future. Thank you Liz 😀

A great professional service

Nicola went to great lengths to get us into our property before the stamp duty rise. She made a very stressful time more manageable with constant communication and reassurance. Both my husband and I can’t thank Nicola enough.

Great

No issues, great communication. Was concerned at picking the cheapest option but ended up not only cheap but great value.
Had an issue with the developer after which they resolved FOC also.
Thankyou!

Went with Risdon Minehead branch to buy my first home. The whole process was much faster than expected and within eight weeks I had the keys to the house!

Caz and Kate were very helpful and always able to answer any questions throughout the process. They went the extra mile to make sure I had everything I required legally which included creating extra documents at my request which wouldn't usually be required for buying a property, just purely for my benefit and personal circumstances.

Overall I can't fault them. Really helpful and would definitely go with Risdon Minehead branch again.

We are very happy with our experience of using Risdon Hosegood. They dealt with everything that was required in a highly efficient manner. We found the person dealing with our conveyancing, Megan, to be very helpful and friendly. She was quick to answer all of our questions and dealt with matters in a timely and professional way. Very grateful, she made what could have been a very stressful time much easier.
