I contacted Chris [Huntingford] at very short notice and asked if he could review the legal pack for a property I was interested in that was going to auction in a couple of days time. Chris very kindly agreed and delivered on time. He provided very comprehensive advice that enabled me to make an informed decision. I certainly recommend Chris and Nelsons Solicitors.

Dealt with Mark [Williams] for many years when he was at Cleggs. Due to the nature of the properties I purchase, none deals are straight forward, however these are made much easier by Mark. Great asset for Nelsons

There is a lot to think about and deal with when purchasing a property and Trevor [Scott] at Nelsons made sure everything was dealt with as quick and as smooth as possible, making it easy and straight forward. He fully understood our urgency to complete and he worked towards completing ASAP so that we could focus on our house move. I was always able to contact Trevor for anything and I received frequent updates and clear, sensible advise. I would 100% recommend Trevor, not only for his wealth of knowledge and expertise but also for his approachability and commitment.

Russell [Hurst] was great, we were buying out first home and were scared of the solicitors side of things. Russell kept us ahead of the game so the exchange and completion were the easiest bit!
