Excellent service from start to finish, Emily was amazing, kept up to date with everything going on, this was by far the easiest home buying experience ever, thank you Leathes Prior and a massive thank you to Emily. First class.
Emily Whelband has provided fantastic help and service throughout our purchase, not only working thoroughly, but also quickly and efficiently. Emily and Leathes Prior are highly recommended and we would not hesitate to use again. Many thanks.
I just wanted to say you are an absolute miracle worker, I can only imagine how much effort you have put into making Simon and Emma’s Christmas what it will be in their new home, you are fantastic at what you do and a real credit to your firm. This isn’t the first time either, I can also recall another recently that you have gone way above and way beyond the call of duty to get your clients completions done with high complex matters in an acute timescale. Have a well-earned break, lovely Christmas, and a fantastic New Year Emily you definitely deserve it!
You’ve made difficult circumstances a lot easier for us and whilst we don’t intend to move for some time, we’ll know who to call if/when we do!
Amazing service from Nadine and Emily. The process was extremely smooth and stress free, all down to Nadine and Emily’s efficiency. No question was too much trouble and everything was explained properly with detail. Can’t thank Nadine and Emily enough for their prompt service, definitely recommend.
I would just like to specifically take this opportunity to thank you for all your efforts. You made it - by keeping in touch regularly and promptly - a relatively straightforward matter for which we are very grateful indeed. Particularly seamless on the day of the move , when stress levels were rising… We are in - and confident we will be very happy there.
Emily has been great, always responding very quickly and keeping me up to date. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Thank you so much for the excellent work you did on our behalf. Thank you particularly for your thoroughness and advice, your efficiency, your support when things were bumpy, and for the support you gave my Mum (and her nerves!) over transferring the deposit. It has all been so appreciated.
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!
I would definitely use Leathes Prior again. Emily W was so helpful throughout the whole process of purchasing my first home. Quick to respond to emails, friendly, and professional. I couldn’t have asked for more.
We both thought you were excellent. You responded quickly, communicated like an actual human rather than a robotic solicitor, and we felt you were always on top of everything throughout the process. We’d definitely recommend you.
I would high recommend Emily Whelband for her professionalism, efficiency, and thorough communication.
