Caroline Parsons has acted for me since 2002 - she is quick, accurate and always returns calls/emails. I recommend her to everyone who needs a conveyancer as I know she will do a great job for them. Cannot rate Caroline highly enough :

As a first time buyer Natalie really helped me along the process keeping me informed. She was good at chasing the chain and kept me updated. We had a target completion date right from the word go and she managed to get things past the line right on track.

My partner and I instructed Vicky Langdown of Sampson Coward to act on our purchase. Vicky and her colleagues were incredible throughout the buying process, and offer both professional and sound advice. In Vicky's absence, Sara was equally fantastic at keeping things moving and chasing the vendors solicitors until the moment we exchanged. I would not hesitate to recommend the services of Sampson Coward to anyone - an absolutely first class service from start to finish.

The process of buying a home was made all the more cumbersome and stressful by using this company. The information I received regarding the purchase of the property, was only received through the estate agents and the vender's solicitors. On 3 separate occasions I was told the report had been prepared and sent to me and it hadn't been. I had to wait an extra 2 weeks solely because they had forgotten to order the funds.

The whole process lacked organisation and was haphazard. The receptionist gave me more information and was more approachable than the solicitor representing the purchase with email replies received weeks later. In all sincerity, I am unable to recommend this company

Ellie and the guys at Sampson Coward have been BRILLIANT. Ellie had a tough job dealing with another party that wasn't very responsive during an incredibly busy time (stamp duty holiday) and she was faultless, always responded when emailed, gave us great advice and resolved any issues as quickly as possible. Would use again and HIGHLY RECOMMED.

Each time I have had to visit have always been greeted pleasantly, and the rooms I've been in were clean fresh and tirdy.

Following the unexpected breakdown of my marriage I contacted Claire speed of Whitehead Vizard. I found Claire to be totally professional throughout my divorce proceedings both Claire & the office staff were responsive to all my queries and questions, throughout this process I have no hesitation in recommending this company for all legal matters. In fact I intend to use them in due course for my Will. Overall professional and caring service. Many thanks Stephen Allen.

Very professional and helpful. From the moment I met with David Coward I felt at ease and knew that he was the right solicitor to help me with my issue. He gave sound advice and carried out work on my behalf for approximately one year. Always genuine and able to help me save costs where possible. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have had him supporting me. Would not hesitate to use Sampson Coward again should the need arise.

Excellent professional service. Caroline was fantastic throughout the process. As first time buyers we were a little nervous about what to expect and Caroline communicated and supported us every step of the way. Everthing was very straight forward and really fast. We would highly recommend the team.

Fantastic service. Mrs Johnston listened to our requirements carefully and guided us through every step of the process for making our first wills. In a day and age when you can use a faceless online service to get most things like this sorted, it's so refreshing to get personal service from an actual person working in a local independent firm. When it's something as significant as a will, it gives huge confidence. Thoroughly recommended!

They acted for us on a house purchase. They day before we were due to exchange they become unresponsive. I finally managed to speak to one of the partners and he said that they weren't able to follow through with the exchange. The chain subsequently collapsed effecting 7 other parties. No reason was ever given. It was an unbelievably stressful situation for my family and I and an experience I have to share.

Used this firm to write our wills. Found the service incredibly professional, very efficient and very timely. Cannot recommend Jess Johnston highly enough. She explained the legal jargon in understandable terms to us, and helped us future-proof our will. Her advice was understandable and allowed us to make an informed decision about various choices, relevant to our assets.

She put thought into ensuring our will is relevant for us now and in future to save us having to re-write it later in our lives. The service was friendly, reasonably priced and would definitely use the firm in future.

I have used Sampson Coward on several occasions over the last few years and they are utterly reliable and efficient. There is no difficulty in contacting someone to talk to if an issue cannot wait, and they are always supportive and friendly.

A superb solicitors, friendly helpful and knowledgeable staff in all parts of the organisation. I had a very challenging case, and was quite challenging as a client, and I found their consistent, calm and intelligent approach very welcome as the matter moved along. I had never used them before, but quickly built up a trust in their ability and approach that will certainly have me using them again. Decent people, that know their stuff!

I had the worst experience with this firm. I asked them to act for me and they were slow to return my all my calls. After I instructed them they said they couldn't locate documents I'd sent them and it's my belief they didn't keep my information confidential. Eventually I went to complain to the Senior partner and he never returned my call. Awful.

We used Whitehead for a purchase attempt on a residential property. Everything was progressing smootly until the day before exchange when our solicitor became non contactable. After a day and a half of frantic phone calls to the firm our call was finally taken by a senior partner who would only say that they were unable to complete the sale and didnt have to provide any further reason.

This resulted in our property sale and chain collasping and a huge amount of stress for multiple parties. Luckily we found a new solicitor and property and completed 6 months later. This experience is one I am obliged to share.

Great value property conveyancing: price competitive with the national 'online only' conveyancers but with the advantage of a local office and personal support. Helpful and understanding throughout what turned out to be quite a difficult purchase process.
