I have been assisted by Joanna Allen and Eleanor Chapman for the purchase of my first property. I am very grateful for the work they carried out on my behalf; they did a fantastic job, everything went very smoothly, and the process was completed in just 3 months. Joanna went above and beyond in keeping me updated, and very supportive anytime I needed some advice.
Eleanor has been absolutely excellent throughout the process from start to finish. She has been approachable, knowledgeable, and friendly at all times. We have been in a unique position that we also know exactly what the seller’s solicitors have been up to pretty much in real-time and she has put the main person at the seller’s firm handling it and their superior to shame. I completely forget she is a trainee until I see her email signature. She is a credit to Leathes Prior and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs the support we’ve needed. Thank you, Eleanor!
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.
