What our clients say

Thank you very much for everything. Considering how difficult I assumed this was all going to be, it has actually been very efficient & painless for me.

Client feedback

Bethany recently dealt with the conveyancing of my late father's property. She provided us with a first class service and kept myself and my son ( the other executor) fully informed at all times of everything arising until contracts were exchanged. I would have no hesitation in recommending Leathes Prior and Bethany to family and friends.

Client feedback

I would like to express the satisfaction of both myself and my wife for the excellent service received in dealing with the sale of two properties. This was handled by Bethany Slaughter, who kept us fully informed of progress throughout the selling process and guided us through some difficult issues which arose during the sale. In addition Bethany was very considerate in dealing with my wife who is suffering the after effects of a significant stroke, this was greatly appreciated.

Client feedback

Not a major transaction but it needed resolving at short notice, Bethany stepped in to do so most efficiently and, by ensuring that the other party paid your fees, at no cost to me or the Estate.

Client feedback

Dealing with the death of a loved one and organising distribution of their estate is not an easy process but I can recommend Leathes Prior, particularly Pat and Billy and not forgetting Beth and Hannah who dealt with all aspects of my mother's estate with the upmost care and consideration in a very professional and exemplary manner. Five stars and ten out of ten rate are completely justified.

Client feedback

Hi, having dealt with Leathes Prior concerning my late father's probate and house sale we would like to say how pleased we were with Georgia Myhill and Bethany Slaughter for their work carried out over the course of eleven months. Having never meeting either of them face to face only corresponding by email they came across as very friendly and helpful. They both kept us informed throughout and quickly answered any queries. The few times we came to the office the reception staff were also friendly and helpful.
