Thank you Isobel for all your work in connection with the sale of our property. You kept us informed all the time through the process.

Will challenge

I am absolutely delighted with the way Ellen Yeates took on my Will challenge case. Ellen prepared a fantastic letter of claim professionally, advising me along the way, my options, risks that I would be taking. I am very pleased to say Ellen won my case and I cannot thank her enough because I was previously unfairly treated by an unpleasant relative. My late Auntie will be delighted that her wishes were fulfilled. Ellen was brilliant & I cannot speak highly enough of her. Ellen- Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Tina Melsome

A representative from Kitson Boyce LLP responded to this review on 03 July, 2025:

Dear Tina, Thank you for your heartfelt message. We’re so pleased Ellen was able to support you through such a sensitive matter with professionalism and care. It’s wonderful to hear that her efforts helped achieve the right outcome and honour your late Auntie’s wishes. Best Regards, Kitson Boyce

House Purchase

You sometimes hear of horror stories when it comes to conveyance. Not in this case. Isobel acted on our behalf, in a thoroughly professional manner. Nothing was too much trouble. Any questions we had, were answered in a minimum amount of time which indeed helped to steer our house purchase through to the end, in quick time. If you have a choice then go with Isobel. Thank you Isobel.

Purchase and Sale of Business premises

I have used Cheryl Baxter at Kitson Boyce for both the purchase and sale of my business premises. On both occasions it has been a pleasure dealing with Cheryl who made the process very easy and straightforward to understand. The service received from Cheryl was outstanding, she always answered and returned telephone calls and responded to emails which was very reassuring when dealing with what was at times a frustrating transaction. I would not hesitate to use Kitson Boyce again and happy to recommend Cheryl Baxter.

Corporate issues

In recent years we have had to deal with taking action against our accountants (now changed) for bad advice and administration, and more recently, we have been involved in the potential sale of the business. Despite difficulties with potential purchasers, Corri Pedrick and her team have provided first class advice and back up. Everything has been dealt with promptly and efficiently at all times and in every aspect. I would not hesitate to recommend Kitson Boyce to others

Isobel Armstrong has helped us every step of the way

We instructed Kitson Boyce to act for us on the sale of our house which like many property sales can be stressful at some stages. At every stage Isobel was there with answers to our questions and reassurance on things.

I would ask her to act for us in the future even the the property was nowhere near Devon.

Cannot recommend her highly enough.

Eviction problems

I have happily used Boyce Hatton for many years and wondered whether the change into Kitson Boyce would alter my views of the service offered. I need not have worried. I had excellent advice from Rhoda Honey, and the usual friendly efficient help I've always received. I felt that Rhoda understood and empathised with my problems and I really appreciated that during an extremely stressful period. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Great service throughout.

I was involved in a bicycle accident resulting in significant injury to my hand. I had to have a lot of time off work and being self employed with a young family was extremely worrying. Fiona was brilliant throughout the process, explaining everything to me about the process to claim compensation. The accident was life changing but having the support from Fiona and her team to help me claim compensation meant I could still support my family.

I have got to know a few of the people through my work who work at Kitsons and have found them all friendly, professional and knowledgeable.
They seem different as well as they have a family feel about them but with the backing of all areas of law covered- best of both worlds!
Would highly recommend you at least call them for a quote as they are very helpful and that bit is free!

3 x property transactions in just over a year (2 x sales, 1 x purchase). Used Kitsons each time. For the last two, (house purchase in Norfolk, sale in Essex), Louise Evers was our conveyancer - eye totally on the ball, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient, and always answers calls and emails. I think that's me done with the property thing now, but if I do decide to buy / sell again Who you gonna call? Kitsons!! (sorry, not Ghostbusters)
