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!

Kieron is a legend

Kieron started our buying journey with great communication and a brilliant will do attitude. When our house purchase fell through on the 20th of March 2025 he moved heaven and earth to get us into our new house before the stamp duty increase. The builders said this will never happen but he pulled out every drop to save us thousands of pounds. If you’re in the business of looking to buy or sell your house Kieron is the BEST choose him as he will be your knight in shining armour. Thanks for everything !!!!!!

Sale and purchase of properties

Amazing experience from start to finish. Liz was great with the purchase of our new house, super efficient and very informative.
Nicole dealt with the sale of our house and again was brilliant despite my constant emails and queries. I would highly recommend Risdons 10/10 service. Thank you both and your teams.

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.
