What our clients say

I've used Leathes Prior three times to help me purchase and sell residential property (unfortunately the first two fell through). I’ve always received prompt responses and clear instructions. The team are so friendly too. I've always felt in safe hands and like they've considered everything possible. I've had both Emily Whelband and Stephen Wilson handle these transactions and they have both been amazing. Can't recommend Leathes Prior enough and I will always use them in future!

Google review

We recently had a complex property sale that Stephen Wilson, Jake Mowatt and the team at Leathes Prior really helped with. They were persistent and supportive throughout the whole process and frequently delivered beyond expectations to get the sale completed.

Just wanted to send a quick email to say thank you for all your help. Thankfully the re-mortgage went through seamlessly and no further hiccups along the way. I know we use yourselves (as a company) as our solicitor, but I would personally use your services again if required. You were very efficient, friendly and knowledgeable & above all, helped in my hour of need. Many Thanks again!

Dan Stannard, Hugh J Boswell

Just wanted to say that, as always, when dealing with Stephen Wilson and his team at Leathes Prior it's been an absolute pleasure. The team have such a professional and efficient approach to works and were again so easy to work with in this project when things didn't always go to plan. Many thanks to especially Steve and Joanne for running things so smoothly!

Client feedback

We were so impressed by the way you dealt with the sale. You made what could have been a very difficult time a great deal easier by your prompt reaction to both me and the buyers' solicitors, and by being easily available on the phone and by email. We should be very happy to ask you to do the conveyancing on the purchase of our next house and will be in touch.

Client feedback

I just wanted to let you know how impressed I have been with Stephen Wilson, one of your Senior Associates. He dealt with my case swiftly and confidently and showed a great understanding of the whole process. He put me at ease with an incredibly important situation and I would recommend his services to others.

Ian Hare

Thank you for all of your help I really appreciate it. You have made the whole process of my flat and this sale go through so smoothly and stress free. I will definitely recommend your services in the future.

Client feedback

Thanks for all your help Stephen, we really appreciate how easy you have made this for us and will definitely use you again next time we move, (few years yet though) we have already recommended you to others and will continue to do so.

Client feedback

We just wanted to say a massive thank you to your and your team for getting everything sorted and for persevering and having to deal with RCC! Thank you doesn't really come close. I wouldn't use anyone else to move now (sorry you're stuck with us!)

Client feedback

I really appreciated your help and service during the time I was purchasing my new house and moving. It was a seriously busy period of my life...and you really helped. I would honestly say that your service and pro-activity blew me away, I have never been chased by a solicitor before for information normally it is the converse!! I will take the time to highlight one of the many things that you did for me that I thought was outstanding. During the move one of your team phoned me for the bank details of my old mortgage so that could be paid off. I was at that stage helping my removals company (which were the opposite to you I may hasten to add, top dollar charges, despicable service) move boxes so I was extremely tied up. I put off looking for the information that your team wanted. A short while later the same team member phoned again and I apologised as I hadn't got the information to them, they said don't worry, we have located the information and have paid the mortgage off for you!!! Fantastic service.

Client feedback

Your level of communication and immediate email response has been fantastic, your service first class. Your firm made this the smoothest house sale/purchase I have been involved in.

Kathy Riley

Many thanks for your assistance during the sale of the property. You have made the whole transaction very easy. We now plan to sell the property we are currently in. At the necessary stage I will be in touch to ask for your assistance once again. Until then keep well. Many thanks for all your help.

Jamie Smith

Many thanks for all your help, we were very pleased with the service we received from you and all at Leathes Prior, we would not hesitate to use your services again in the future.

Client feedback

Eleanor Chapman and Steve Wilson deserve full credit for completing a somewhat complex remortgage contract in time for Christmas. Where most Solicitors' practices would have knocked off and sorted in the New Year, they battled on to the bitter end. They are outstanding examples of true professionalism, offering a one-to-one service where you feel they really care to get the job done. I would highly recommend them. Finally, we can relax and enjoy the seasonal festivities with peace of mind.

I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Trustees, to thank you for all your help. I would certainly recommend Leathes Prior to others, not least for the efficiency and quick responses to queries.

Client feedback

Dan and I truly want to thank you for your hard work and persistence in our first home buy. We have since recommended you to all of our friends as we found you incredibly prompt and professional, we want to say everything on our end went incredibly smoothly. We both wish you the very best and success for all your future. We will also continue to use you - as your service was first class.

Client feedback

Thank-you so very much for all your hard work, you've been absolutely amazing! I wish all solicitors were like you! I've been absolutely overwhelmed at how brilliant you've been with everything. Thank-you so much as well dealing with my hundred emails asking if we can exchange yet! You've been truly the best, I will always recommend you to family and friends!

Client feedback

Client feedback

GREAT JOB ALL ROUND! Thank you so much, Stephen, for an excellent service!! Leathes Prior delivering yet again!!

Client feedback

I had an issue with the ownership of my property and a contact of mine suggested I contact Stephen Wilson at Leathes Prior. Stephen talked through my options and advised accordingly. He then actioned my instructions and was always quick to respond to my questions and the process was very smooth throughout. I would recommend Stephen and his team to anyone.

Arthur Morgan, Savills

Just a quick thank you to confirm we got the keys on Friday and have started ripping up the carpets and getting the paint brushes out already. Found the whole process smooth and yourselves at Leathes Prior very helpful, efficient and easy to deal with. Thanks for your help with everything.

Ben Lambert

Steve Wilson and Joanna Allen handled my sale in 2022 and my purchase which completed on the 1st September 2023. They are a fantastic team and made both processes easy and kept me informed throughout. Joanna maintained a constant support often when difficulties from the vendor's side presented themselves and we worked very well together. I cannot rate Steve and Joanna highly enough and would thoroughly recommend their service.
