Our new life.

After 45 years in the same house we decided to move. Everyone we ever dealt with previously were, like ourselves, “retired”. Having enquired, Laurie was recommended. We found her to be warm and friendly, patient and reassuring. We asked endless questions and she had time for every one of them. We got close to a sale and then disaster, the sale was off. Laurie was very understanding and when a new buyer appeared the paperwork was prepared again. Our new purchase was not straight forward, with endless details of a lease and an amalgamation of two properties but finally everything came together and we moved. We could not have wished for a better solicitor, ld happily recommend her to anyone starting out on the nightmare of moving house.

Excellent service for conveyancing

Josiah Hincks carried out the conveyancing for me for the sale of a property. Their service was excellent, especially useful was being able to phone Laurie to clarify matters. I can wholeheartedly recommend them.

Commercial Property Lease

Jedd drew up a new lease for a commercial property which was clear and easy to understand by both sides. His communication and excellent manner helped us through what can be a danting and difficult task. He was very helpful throughout the process - even responding when on study leave.

Sale of the Old Post Office

Laurie acted extremely quickly for me on a sale to beat tax changes that would have cost me a lot more in tax and we managed completion in around 3 1/2 weeks.

Commercial property purchase

We recently purchased a commercial property with the help of Jedd Acton at Josiah Hincks. The transaction was made simple, clean and stress free due to Jedd and his excellent communication skills and professionalism. Jedd was very efficient and always thorough when explaining the process. Thank you Jedd.

Laurie dealt with a complicated conveyancing for me, was always quick to respond to me by phone and by email. I can’t fault the friendly and highly professional service that I received. Selling a house can be stressful but she made it as stress free as I could have wished for. Many thanks to everyone at Josiah Hincks. I would unreservedly recommend this company others.

Our solicitor was always one step ahead: instead of being re-active he was always pro-active, which helped move things along at a decent pace. Highly recommend Josiah Hincks.
