Report
Really pleased with the conveyancing service provided by Kevills, we used them for both the Sale of our old home and Purchase of a new build property. The whole process was relatively painless and we were kept informed about every step taken along the way.
Katie was direct and professional. She always responded promptly to emails, posted the relevant forms to us without delay and went above and beyond in terms of service during the unprecedented challenge that was Covid-19. Katie made every effort to ensure that we could move home ASAP. I'd have no issue recommending Kevills to others.

Most incompetent law firm I've ever had any dealing with. Dishonest and a disgrace to the profession.

In addition to the "normal service", Kevills handled a variety of small complexities for me fairly, quickly, and efficiently. I've been impressed by the quality of service and had a good, professional experience.
