Yes she is as abale to get us in to our property before Christmas which meant we didn’t have to pay two months rent.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for a legal adviser?

Purchasing our flat and needed a conveyancing service in South London.

How has Louise Hyland helped you?

Louise was professional, punctual and efficient in all communications, demonstrating a high level of service and consideration for our needs throughout the sale- she would explain anything clearly, had great attention to detail and worked hard to push our sale through to completion in our desired timeframes. She was much better than the other solicitor we were dealing with via the seller (who she chased relentlessly and frequently had to correct).

Yes - a very positive experience.

Absolutely nothing. We have nothing but accolades to pour upon Louise.

Myself and my boyfriend where buying our first home together.

How has Louise Hyland helped you?

Louise was our solicitor, helping us with the legal side of purchasing our property.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Louise was super helpful, we had a few challenges along the way and it seemed to take longer then average for us to complete which was no fault of Louise and she really helped to push things through as quickly as possible. She would always respond to emails and constantly keep us in the loop with regards to what was happening and how things were progressing. She also has been really helpful with a few little issues we had with our property a couple of months after completion.

What could they have done better?

Honestly there is nothing I can advise as first time experience with a solicitor we can't find any faults

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for a legal adviser?

Louise did the conveyancing for me when I moved house - she handled both my sale and purchase.

How has Louise Hyland helped you?

She worked efficiently throughout the process - she always seemed to deal with issues that came up by the end of the day, and I never had to chase her to move things along. She was very pleasant to deal with and kept me informed of progress.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes. Louise was recommended by a friend and I would certainly recommend her to others.

What could they have done better?

It would have been useful to have received a 'checklist' at the beginning of the stages of the conveyancing process so that I knew what to expect. There were times, towards the end of the process, when I wasn't clear about what steps were still outstanding before we could exchange.

Buying a property.

I was buying my property as a first time buy, but my partner already owned multiple properties. We was therefore under the pressure of the stamp duty reform. Louise understood my time frames and ensure we exchange and completed with time to spare.

Yes.

It would be better if the report on title was binded and presented better so that it could be stored for safe keeping for when I come to sell.
