Everyone seems to have had a bad experience with solicitors. Not so with Leathes Prior! We appointed Edmund for our house sale and purchase and he was an absolute star from start to finish, particularly for the purchase which turned out to be lengthy, a bit complicated and very stressful. Always a pleasure to talk to on the phone and via email, he would readily explain things that we needed or wanted to understand and always kept us updated. I actually miss our regular chats now that we have finally moved in! Edmund really helped push the purchase over the line when other solicitors involved seemed to be dragging their heels. He really went above and beyond to get things moving, which we hugely appreciate. Professional, prompt and pleasant; I would not hesitate to recommend the Leathes Prior conveyancing team and Edmund in particular. Thank you so much for everything!

Following a recommendation from a friend I decided to use Leathes Prior for both sale and purchase of properties recently. I was not disappointed. Ed handled all aspects of my case in a friendly and professional manner and was very helpful and reassuring throughout. Everything was dealt with efficiently and I felt well informed at all times. I would highly recommend.

Just a short note to say how impressed I was with the handling of my late mother’s house sale. Edmund and his colleagues were very professional but at the same time maintained a friendly approach to all dealings I had with them. I was regularly informed of progress and would have no hesitation in using your firm in future.

We wanted to drop you a quick note to say how happy we were with the support Edmund provided - he was really fantastic throughout what was a very long and arduous sales process. He was incredibly responsive, courteous, patient, and detail-oriented, and he provided us with excellent advice at every step. He obviously works hard too as he seems to be online at all times! We would highly recommend him to anyone purchasing a property in future.

I just wanted to send you quick note to pass on my compliments about the quality of service given by Edmund during my recent first time buyer property purchase. I had often heard the opposite when talking to others who had recently purchased properties with other firms, but Edmund was friendly, always quick to respond, happy to talk through the process and translate it to layman's terms and made the whole process as easy as it could be. I'll be happy to recommend Leathes Prior to others.

While Rachael was on annual leave, she advised that her colleague, Edmund Ramsdale, would be handling our case. Edmund was prompt, helpful and communicative, particularly when a query arose surrounding the position of the top of our chain. He took the time to investigate this on our behalf and came back with a thorough response that gave us greater clarity on this development, and comprehensive information that meant I was well-equipped to query this with our aftersales agent. In summary, both Rachael and Edmund are a credit to Leathes Prior Solicitors. On the strength of our experience with Rachael as our conveyancer, I would recommend her services to anyone in a heartbeat, and by extension would also recommend the services of Leathes Prior Solicitors.
