Liz was fantastic. Highly recommend her to anyone going through the conveyencing process. She made it so straightforward, from the questions we had to completing before the stamp duty deadline! She was excellent in updating our developer and mortgage adviser at all stages. Thank you so much Liz! We will not use anyone else going forwards 🌟

Risdon's were fantastic from start to finish. We were in the process of repaying our Help to Buy loan and initially went with the same solicitors we used when purchasing our property (Foot Anstey), but unfortunately, they were unresponsive and ineffective. I reached out to Risdon's to see if they could take over, and thankfully they could. They handled everything efficiently and got the process completed quickly—just in time, as our RICS survey was close to expiring. My only regret is not going to them from the beginning!

Led my wife and I through the process thankyou.
However, receiving a final demand for a review i found to be annoying. I doubt it's a legal obligation.

Liz at Risdons Solicitors was absolutely brilliant. Liz is fast acting and helped us complete in a short time frame. We never understood the process when starting but Liz explained everything to us is a way we would understand with great communication throughout. I am so glad we had Liz and will be definitely using Risdons Solicitors in the future. Thank you Liz 😀

Went with Risdon Minehead branch to buy my first home. The whole process was much faster than expected and within eight weeks I had the keys to the house!
Caz and Kate were very helpful and always able to answer any questions throughout the process. They went the extra mile to make sure I had everything I required legally which included creating extra documents at my request which wouldn't usually be required for buying a property, just purely for my benefit and personal circumstances.
Overall I can't fault them. Really helpful and would definitely go with Risdon Minehead branch again.

We are very happy with our experience of using Risdon Hosegood. They dealt with everything that was required in a highly efficient manner. We found the person dealing with our conveyancing, Megan, to be very helpful and friendly. She was quick to answer all of our questions and dealt with matters in a timely and professional way. Very grateful, she made what could have been a very stressful time much easier.

Paula from Risdon Hosegood in Taunton acted for our sale and purchase in Yeovil. We were delighted with the service and found everyone friendly and extremely helpful. Even when we thought we had hit a brick wall with a legal issue it was sorted out quickly effectively and efficiently and we were given great communication. We would highly recommend the company and use them again in the future.
