This review is for a different branch.
We recently were faced with selling our late Mother’s property. This was the first time either of us had ever sold any property so it was a bit daunting. However we’d had such a good experience with Couchman Hanson in obtaining the grant of probate that we felt comfortable instructing them in the conveyance of the property. In the event the other side did almost everything back to front There was an LoI instead of an MoS. The survey was done before they engaged a solicitor and months of unnecessary delays. The other side blamed our solicitor for failing to act promptly, they suggested incompetence, an other things. All through this our solicitors (not just Ms Veseli but Ms Summers herself) took it all in their stride. They were always professional but also friendly and their advice was clear and when we didn’t appreciate something they were patient. In the end it turned out the other side had failed to notice papers had been delivered and they moved to a different firm. Even then there were spurious and unnecessary queries and further attempts by the other side (both legal and buyer) to undermine our solicitors. I cannot thank Ms Veseli and Ms Summers (both of Constantine & Summers) and their paralegals and admin staff for their excellent support throughout. They demonstrated the very best of the English legal profession.
