Couldnt recommend Beechwood Solicitors enough! Me any my partner were purchasing our first home together and decided to contact Nicola to represent us as our solicitor.
Nicola (and her team) did an absolutely fantastic job, being sure to keep in touch regularly, clearly explain situations and help us overcome a couple of obstacles. We even got a lovely moving in card which was a really nice and appreciated touch. Highly recommend.

Wow what a service! After months of hassle with my next door neighbour I approached Beechwood to help me with a boundary dispute. They were quick to act and very professional, it seemed no job was too small. Their friendly and approachable service meant that I could leave it in their capable hands and it was dealt with promptly. Thank you.

Brilliant service, sent all documents very quickly. Even followed up with a small cheque after the work was all completed and we had a small excess after the Fixed Fee. Well done, Thank you.

Beechwood are a understaffed and overworked practice. Thus giving a painfully slow, uncommunicative and inefficient service. Did not exude confidence. Very good at deflecting the blame in their inefficiencies at other parties.
Disappointed. Really hope they haven't caused problems for future conveyancing of the property due to lack of due diligence.
