Very helpful and reliable
After a recommendation from a friend, I contacted Mrs Alex Jennings, Notary and Solicitor, of Heppenstalls. Over the last two years, I have required both services, and the help and advice I have been given on those occasions have been excellent. I was quite nervous initially, because I was unsure of the kind of help I actually needed, but Mrs Jennings was wonderful. She was very calm and put my mind at ease, and should the need arise, I would be more than happy to ask her again.

We can’t recommend Olivia highly enough!
We recently used Olivia’s services for both the sale and purchase of our homes, and she was nothing short of exceptional. Her communication was consistently prompt and clear, whether by phone or email, we always felt informed and supported. Our transaction involved a relatively small but complex chain, and a great deal of responsibility fell to Olivia. She handled everything with professionalism, efficiency, and a genuinely friendly manner that made a stressful process feel far more manageable. We’re incredibly grateful to have had Olivia guiding us through it all. She truly took so much of the stress out of the experience, and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again in the future.

Thank you, Olivia, for guiding us through our first sale so smoothly!
Thank you, Olivia, for guiding us through our first sale so smoothly! We couldn’t recommend Olivia highly enough. As first-time sellers, we were quite anxious about the process, especially given the complexities of our sale — a Help to Buy, share of freehold property with a challenging management pack and detailed leasehold information. Olivia’s knowledge and expertise really shone through. She handled the nuances of the transaction brilliantly and was able to negotiate some complicated and sensitive conversations on our behalf with ease. What really stood out was her excellent communication throughout. She kept us updated every step of the way and was always happy to explain things clearly, no matter how small the question. She really put us at ease and made what could have been a stressful process so much more manageable. Thank you, Olivia, for guiding us through our first sale so smoothly and quickly. We would (and already have) recommend you without hesitation!

Exceptionally Good Service
From the first phone call with Roz we were confident that we were speaking with someone with broad knowledge and experience of Deputyship. Until the need to apply for Deputyship we knew nothing about it. Throughout the application for a Court Order Roz was supportive and professional at the same time as being a friendly contact.
