Myself and partner would like to express our thanks to Deborah Fenton for her outstanding service. We were first time buyers during the pandemic, with a tricky purchase and near the end of stamp duty. Deborah went above and beyond our expectations, always kept us informed and returned every call/email within a reasonable time frame. We never had to chase or question her actions. I would highly recommend Deborah to anyone and would certainly use Deborah in the future, she made the process so much less stressful for us and we cannot thank her enough.

We would highly recommend Deborah from Steele Raymond. She was highly attentive and on the ball. She kept us well updated and pushed everything along quickly and professionally. We were under a tight deadline and she did everything she could to help us meet that deadline. After a terrible previous experience with other solicitors we were so pleased with how easy she made the process for us with so much communication and clear instructions of what we needed to do.
We will most definitely be using Deborah again in the future.

I have worked alongside Paula Eckton and the team at Steele Raymond now for a number of years, for both the commercial and M&A needs of my clients. Paula is always high on my list for introductions – she assesses situations quickly, is highly responsive, has great interpersonal skills and excellent attention to detail. In particular clients like that Paula is able to discuss complicated situations without the need for legal references and jargon. It is always reassuring to know that my clients are in safe hands with Paula and the team.

Michelle Bettell did a lot of family work for myself. Her amazing approach to our extremely difficult situation and her professionalism gave me the drive to go out and start a law degree myself via open university whilst doing an apprenticeship with a small law firm local to my area. She was also extremely supportive during the entire process and is someone who you can vent to during your difficulties. She makes time for her clients and goes that extra mile. I would recommend Michelle to anyone. She is an inspiration and what I strive to be once I complete my degree. I wish you all the best Michelle

From the very start to the very end of our dealings with Joanna Staples our experience was exceptional.
We were in a small chain of 3 homes and the service we received from Joanna was far superior to any of the other solicitors and she was constantly in touch with them to keep the chain moving along. She was instrumental in getting our exchange of contracts pushed through swiftly as we were purchasing a new build with a very tight deadline. We were kept informed every step of the way and never once needed to call to chase on progress as she was always the driving force.
I can honestly say she

Victoria Jarmolkiewicz was our solicitor for our house move. As first time buyers, we didn't know a lot about the house buying process so Victoria was really our saviour! She explained everything so clearly and made the whole process completely stress free and easy. I've heard some nightmare stories from friends about their solicitors, how they have to chase them consistently and hear nothing back from them. We didn't have that experience at all with Victoria. We didn't need to chase her once, she was completely on top of everything and the best part was I really felt like she was completely on

Joanna and the property legal team were amazing for our re-mortage and purchase transactions. We managed to exchange contracts within 4 weeks of making our purchase offer. Joanna and the team were very responsive and professional and we will be using Steele Raymond again in the future and recommending them to everyone we know. Well done Steele Raymond and a big thank you to Joanna for all her diligence and professionalism. Kind regards, Chris Gormley

Joanna Staples was an absolute delight to work with. In such a busy time she has been a standout in a tricky conveyancing process, her knowledge, expertise and guidance were pivotal in getting this over the line! Would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a property!
