Despite my leasehold property being on the market for 2 years and unfortunately 2 offers falling through (due to buyers not having mortgages or funds in place) I have been extremely pleased with the service I received from Stillwells. From the outset Georgia and her assistants Holly and Emma have been very helpful and supportive, as I was unsure of the whole selling process, especially as it is leasehold. They kept me updated and answered all my queries promptly. When I made the decision to withdraw from the market and not sell, Georgia and her team were understanding and concluded everything with no further cost to me. I was very appreciative of this. The reason why I chose Stillwells in the first place is because I read on their website that they have members with experience in leasehold properties. I will certainly recommend Stillwells.

A huge thank you to Georgia who helped us buy and sell! She was very responsive, helpful and professional. I’ll be recommending her services to friends and family. We’re now in our new place and very happy! Thank you!

This is the third house acquisition that Hanah and her team at Stillwells have worked on for us over the last seven years and as always the service has been absolutely first class! Hanah and the Team are extremely professional, working tirelessly to cover every angle, communicating consistently throughout. I cannot recommend Hanah and the Team enough!!

We could not recommend Stillwells - and in particular Hanah Wright - enough for the excellent service whilst selling our home. Not only was she thoroughly efficient, great at communicating and always on the ball, but she also offered great guidance as to what each step of the process meant. She consistently went to great lengths to defend our best interests, and was calm and supportive throughout. We can't sing her praises highly enough! A huge thank you.

Georgia has been absolutely fantastic in our recent house sale! Was never made to feel a bother, with worries or questions we had. Always super friendly and professional!

Hanah picked up our file quite late on and did a brilliant job making sure we completed on our house before the deadline. We found her to be very efficient and easy to deal with and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to others or using again. Thanks again.

Have used Stillwells for years, initially referred business to them through a previous employer and the only solicitor whom would exchange a house sale out of hours! Excellent! On my own personal matters excellent solicitors, fantastic that you can just ask a question and not be worried about sneaky hidden charges. lovely staff and nothing is too much trouble. Highly professional and if it is something they might not be able to deal with always happy to recommend. Would highly recommend.

We cannot recommend Solicitor Georgia Fergusson and Stillwells Law highly enough when it comes to moving home! The conveyancing process was incredibly straight forward and efficient from start to finish. All communication was clear and concise with any questions answered immediately. Georgia along with her colleague Holly made our lives that bit simpler during a stressful time. We can’t thank you enough!

The conveyancing service I recieved from Hanah (and Lin) has been nothing but incredible from start to finish. Working god knows what hours of the day (looking at my emails) under immense pressure from workload at a time when everyone was trying to buy a house, Hanah and her team pulled it out the bag. I will be actively recommending Stillwells to friends and family. Thank you so much for everything. We are such very happy homeowners.
