Emma and her team have been fantastic. My concern was small but required an immediate response which Emma and her team did. They translated complicate ... d jargon into a language I could understand and dealt with everything easily, and swiftly. Would absolutely use her/them again and would highly recommend

Fully recommend
We have used Everys for the last 4 months through a difficult house purchase. Charlotte Pickford has been our Solicitor. She has acted so professional .... We have also had our phone calls returned quickly and emails responded promptly. We have felt very safe and looked after during a very stressful time.

Selling A Property
Everys Solicitors were great. They kept me informed throughout the whole process of selling my property. The actual sale was delayed a couple of tim ... es, but I was kept apprised of the situation.Whilst their ID verification process was a little beyond me at times, I was able to complete it eventually!I would definitely recommend them.

I have used Charlotte Pickford multiple times when buying and selling previous homes. She is polite, great at her job and I honestly don’t think we wo ... uld have met the stamp duty deadline without a great solicitor such as Charlotte. Charlotte and her team are brilliant, myself and my partner will always go to Everys when buying a house. Everys prices are also very competitive, 5 star service from Everys. Thanks so much.

Charles and his team looked after me throughout my recent property purchase journey. At every point of the process I was kept fully informed and reas ... sured.Charles is extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my (many!) questions clearly and in a timely manner. I always knew where we were at with everything and what was required from me. In what is a stressful and anxious time I felt very confident that I was in the best hands.
