Both Sasha and Yseult were both very helpful and patient. This was an emotional process for the family and we all felt that we were always kept updated and helped where necessary. Yseult was especially understanding and gave advice when asked.

Easy house purchase with Pardoes

My partner and I have just purchased our first home with a mortgage. We used Pardoes as our solicitors and they were very good! Pardoes were very informative, clear and efficient with the whole process. We would like to give a massive thanks to everyone at Pardoes, especially Sasha and Yseult. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a solicitor and will definitely use again!

Excellent service with exceptional knowledge -

I have put off writing my will for a long time - we don’t like to face our mortality ! However I feel a weight lifted from my shoulders after going to see Georgie - she was so knowledgable, supportive, approachable and I feel lucky to have had the experience!

Thank you very much Bhavani Hogarty and all her team at Pardoes for all the hard work and dedication which has helped us through a very difficult time. We have lived in our home for 60 years and the last five years have been a nightmare, which could have been sorted in the early days easily but turned into a protracted dispute. Ending up in a court case which we won, we could not have done this without Pardoes, especially Bhavani and her team and we would recommend them to anyone

Pardoes staff - Sophie and Rachel - were friendly and courteous, but we did feel that the process took longer than it should have done and that some tasks could have been done earlier than they were. However, we realise a lot of delay came from the buyer's solicitors. Also, in the period following confirming the completion date, everything did happen very quickly.

I assume people seeking help with contentious probate are new to the unpleasant experience. I feel fortunate that my solicitor, Nigel guided me to a resolution efficiently and with patience and good humour.
