Lily Beel

My wife and I have bought over 15 properties in the course of the last 50-odd years, and have dealt with many firms of solicitors, both in those transactions, and in my professional capacity. Our experience of Leathes Prior compares more than favourably with any professional firm with whom we have dealt over all that time. Lily Beel has been thoroughly professional at all times, and never ceased to be supportive and cheerful, despite operating in such a frantically busy period. She was often in touch well after normal working hours, and clearly prioritises getting the job done efficiently whatever the personal effort. I would also add that Lily is very well supported by Kate Newson, who has been a pleasure to deal with. Between them they have ensured an excellent experience for us.

Client feedback

I wanted to drop you a line to pass on our thanks to Lily Beel and her colleagues at Leathes Prior who helped us with the purchase of our first home last year. Lily and her team were highly efficient, always prompt to respond and act on queries, and reassuring when it felt like the whole thing may grind to a halt! We were very pleased to have used Leathes Prior as our solicitors and wouldn’t look any further for legal help in the future. Please do pass on my thanks to Lily and her team for their help and excellent service.

Client feedback

Of course, when someone instructs a solicitor to undertake their conveyancing needs - it goes without saying that they expect a professional and high-quality service. Well, I'm glad to say that Lily did not disappoint! She responded swiftly to our emails and at times did so 'out of hours' - which did not go unnoticed. We were unable to tie in our purchase with our sale and it's fair to say that this caused me a degree of anxiety at times, but Lily remain calm and consistent throughout which helped ease my concerns. I also have to say that aside from her clear, concise and experienced instruction on the various legalities related to both transactions - she also demonstrated a thoughtful understanding of our particular situation, which I particularly appreciated. I can imagine many of your staff have had to deal with high workloads and balance the complexities of office and home-working, whilst navigating your business practices through this pandemic and I have to say that Lily has been a credit to that endeavour. I would also like to add my thanks to all staff who we had dealings with over the period involved, all of whom we found extremely helpful and considerate. With that said I would not hesitate to recommend Leathes Prior in the future and hope that Lily receives some form of recognition for all her efforts on our behalf.

This is not the first time I have used Leathes Prior for buying / selling a home. My first experience of LP was a couple of years since where I found myself dealing with a young woman by the name of Miss Beel. I remember, at the time, thinking, I hope she has enough experience of this conveyancing stuff, she seems awfully young. I could not have been more wrong! Lily Beel is very knowledgeable, doesn't miss anything, responsive to questions and seems to work extremely hard as I get emails into the early evenings. I am more than a little impressed at Lily and her team (the Eleanors, Angharad and Kate) for getting stuff done; doesn't faff, doesn't fuss and has been an absolute pleasure to deal with on every occasion I have needed to speak with her, even if I have been a bit dense or slow on the uptake, Lily has always been patient and the very essence of polite. Sadly, (gladly?) this will be my last home sale as I have found my forever home and Lily made it seamless, painless and is a breath of fresh air and joy to deal with. Not your normal stuffed shirt solicitor, a real person to deal with. All round and amazing and excellent experience during a stressful time.

We always use Leathes Prior for conveyancing, and now for commercial leasing and business licensing. We always receive an all round brilliant experience- with efficient communication, and a calm, thorough person at the end of the phone. Special thanks to Lily Beel and Kate Wheeler.

I just wanted to thank you for all your patience and help over the months especially in the face of such lack of communication from the other solicitor. It has really made my life much easier, and I am grateful.

Client feedback

Lily and Kate are an absolute pleasure to work with, polite, efficient and clearly very on the ball. As an ex-estate agent and now investment professional which includes recommending property investing I really set the bar high when I ask someone to provide a service and not once did the ladies disappoint. I have finally found a conveyancing team I would be confident to recommend to my clients and I would not hesitate to use them again. They're both an absolute credit to Leathes Prior and worth paying the slight (but incredibly reasonable) premium to work with them. Thank you both, we’re now settled and very happy in our new home

Client feedback

I was referred to Lily and from the outset I was impressed by her friendly and professional attitude. Compared with many such transactions I believe our recent move was relatively straightforward but nevertheless it still had its stressful moments as far as I was concerned and Lily's calm demeanour was very reassuring and appreciated. I would have no hesitation in recommending Leathes Prior to others.

Client feedback

Lily and the team at Leathes Prior did an excellent job in covering all the legal matters relating to our house purchase. The communications provided by the team were clear and timely and all our queries were resolved promptly. All of this was done in a courteous and professional manner and we never felt that anything was too much trouble. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to others who are moving house.

Effective, efficient, personable, and well-managed communications played a key part in concluding my business on the target date. Couldn't ask for more in professional and legal services really. I engaged Leathes Prior on the basis of a recommendation and would be happy to re-state that recommendation.

We cannot recommend LP highly enough. Lily Beel, Anna Jordan, and their team have been so professional, communicative,e and efficient throughout the process of purchasing our home. We can't thank them all enough.

My experience with Leathes Prior has been nothing but positive, Lily was helpful, proactive, and a pleasure to deal with. I will be working with LP in the future and look forward to doing so.

Client feedback

One of the best recommendations I have ever received. This wasn't our first home purchase but was our first time with Leathes Prior and we really noticed the difference in level of service. Anna Jordan and Lily Beel were exceptional, from the most detailed but reader-friendly reports to being responsive to our many queries. People talk of moving house being one of the most stressful life events, and we are so pleased that we felt completely able to enjoy all of the positives, knowing we were in really safe hands. A huge thanks to Anna and Lily.

Lily and all the staff at LP handled our remortgage and we had a great experience. Guidance over the phone or by email was always available and friendly. We will be using them for any legal work going forward!

I haven't bought or sold a house for a very long time, but my experience of this transaction with Lily Beel, from Leathes Prior, acting on my behalf, has been overwhelmingly positive. The advice, counsel and guidance was absolutely first class, the communication was excellent and overall it was an utterly professional and courteous service and experience. Even when we hit a little bit of a wobble, Lily remained calm and ensured we got over the line in good time. Highly recommended and I wouldn't go anywhere else for conveyancing in the future. Thank you so much for all you did for me Lily.

Throughout the whole process of buying our home, Lily Beel and her team were amazing. Everything was done with great care. The communication was perfect and they handled everything so well. We are so happy that she was in our corner. If you get Lily as your solicitor, just rest assured everything will go smoothly.

Lily and her colleagues were always very quick in responding to and in answering any questions that were raised by me in all emails and calls. Everyone at Leathes Prior was polite, courteous, professional, and friendly at all times. I received regular updates on the progress of my house purchase with Lily and her team displaying a thorough, detailed knowledge of property law, rules, and regulations throughout the process. Their handling of my purchase helped to ensure that everything went through very well and smoothly. A big thank you and a big well done to Lily and her team.
