What our clients say

Jake and Zumi were amazing with selling my house. Everything was done on a timely manner and kept me informed throughout the whole process. The knowledge and professionalism of Jake was impeccable. Would highly recommend!

Client feedback

Jake worked for us during this difficult and protracted sale and we are very grateful to him for finding solutions when there didn't seem to be any, for repeatedly assisting the buyers’ two sets of solicitors with documents that they had mislaid or forgotten about and for being totally professional and proactive throughout. Jake was always available for calls and to update us when requested.

Client feedback

Leathes Prior is top tier! I wouldn't go with anyone else, 28 days after my property purchase, I had the keys. Jake Mowatt, my solicitor, is a legend. He made the entire process so easy and stress free even though I wasn't the easiest of clients. Shoutout to Zumi as well, almost instant replies to emails.

Jake is the ultimate professional and made what was an extremely complicated transaction with multiple hurdles much less stressful than it could have been! Zumi was also extremely communicative and ensured that I was up to speed. A great team. This is not the first time I have used Jake specially, and it will not be the last.

Client feedback

Jake has looked after both myself personally and some of my clients for their conveyancing needs for over five years now. I have always found him to be professional, attentive to detail and very responsive, even answering phone calls and emails sometimes outside of working hours throughout the week and at weekends. My clients are often very complementary of Jake’s work that he has completed for them and I look forward to using his services in the future when required.

Client feedback

I don't normally do reviews, but the service from Jake on my sale and purchase really warranted one. Communication throughout was excellent. Despite a multitude of issues throughout from various other parties Jake (and Zumi) kept me up to date throughout and prevented what could have been a very stressful time by going above and beyond. I had used Jake at a previous company, and there was no question who I would use again, or in the future. The overall set up, drive to assist me, and knowledge was brilliant from Jake at Leathes Prior. If his and Zumi's service reflects the whole company, you can't go wrong.

Jake and Zumi were both amazing and were always very helpful and responsive.
