Client feedback

I wanted to let you know how grateful I am to Alison Beales for the incredible service she provided. Throughout she was really caring, helpful, efficient and thorough. It meant that among the worry and stress of buying and selling the process was made easy as i totally trusted her and could see just how on top of everything she was. I was always also amazed and grateful at just how quickly she responded to my queries and how she kept me up to date and explained everything, enabling me to make clear choices.

Client feedback

Thank you for all your help and hard work along the way, it has been greatly appreciated! You have been amazing!

Client feedback

Can I just say thank you for your prompt and concise responses on this overage project - refreshing given my previous experiences with other solicitors. I look forward to working with you again.

Client feedback

As a first time buyer I am very pleased to have chosen Leathes Prior as my solicitors. Alison Beales guided me through the process with excellent communication and advice, partnered with diligent professionalism. Offer to completion in 2 months. Highly recommend.

Google review

I would like to express my thanks to you for your help, consideration and professionalism when working on this matter.

Client feedback

This has been a much smoother process than we feared, so thank you for your excellent service. You have been extremely helpful.

Client feedback

I was able to authorise Leathes Prior to undertake this part of the work (the sale of two agricultural fields let out to tenants), and Alison has been able to complete the sale of both fields without any fuss. She has been totally professional, liaising with the tenants' solicitors (as well as my mother's solicitor) and managed to streamline the process. I should also add that Alison had a very positive style of dealing with me as a client, and it gave me confidence that the work was being completed (unlike the firm that had been dealing with it). This is the third estate that I have had to deal with as an executor in the last five years, and I have been so impressed with the high-quality service provided by Leathes Prior.

Client feedback

A huge thank you to Alison Beales for quite possibly the smoothest transaction we have had so far. From our first phone call Alison was super helpful and responsive and this continued throughout the process. Alison was very efficient and we were very pleased not to have needed to chase anything up as everything was taken care of within the time frame required. We would not hesitate to use Alison and Leathes Prior again for future purchases. Thank you for a fantastic, stress free experience!

May I take this opportunity of thanking you both most sincerely for your help and assistance in concluding these arrangements. I appreciate that this has been a very long ongoing sale process, however it has been a pleasure to work with you both on this project and seeing the arrangements concluded.

Client feedback

Thank you for advising us so expertly over the rather quirky circumstances of this sale and transfer of deeds. I am very happy with your excellent service.

Client feedback

Our experience with Leathes Prior has been excellent. Alison, in particular, was brilliant to work with and we would be extremely happy to work with her on future projects. All enquiries were met with patience and a timely response making the process of purchasing our auction property seamless and as worry free as possible. Thank you so much for your help and support at the start of what is going to be an exciting project for us.
