What our clients say about Rachel
Excellent service from Rachel managing our house sale. Rachel was extremely helpful through every step of the process.
J. Ellis
Rachel was great throughout our property purchase. The vendor’s solicitors were not always forthcoming with details and Rachel was very proactive and thorough in getting answers from them and getting issues closed out. Would highly recommend. Having a great solicitor really makes the house buying process more smooth! She was very approachable throughout the process and giving us advice where needed.

An excellent service was offered, at a professional level. The hic-cups and frustrations of selling property were all dealt with ease by Rachel and her team. I am happy to fully recommend their services.
Rachel was friendly, approachable and efficient. She made the sale of my mother’s house (with my POA) so easy for me and the sale was completed swiftly and with no fuss. I was so impressed.
Rachel acted on the instructions of my brother and I efficiently to a very satisfactory conclusion despite the buyers late efforts to add complications to the agreement.
Rachel was fantastic to work with and managed my house sale quickly and efficiently. Very helpful and professional throughout

We have sold my mother's property due to her moving into a care home. This has been quite a stressful situation, but Rachel has handled the whole event professionally and communication has been first rate. Gill Harris the Completions Manager has helped with the final completion statement. I have no issues recommending Rachel for conveyancing. Thank you.

Rachel helped us through the sale of my late father's unregistered property - she showed not only competence but full understanding of the type of property we were selling and the circumstances of the sale. The whole transaction was undertaken with ease with Rachel keeping us advised of all developments in a timely manner.
