CONVEYANCING QUOTE
Louise and Kate were extremely helpful and patient with our questions during the two processes. They actioned everything effectively and in an efficient manner. I would use again and recommend their services.
Great service, excellent communication. Janine Naylor went above and beyond my expectations
Janine and Claire were absolutely perfect! I genuinely feel like they have saved my life with what they have managed to achieve!
They did a great job selling & dealing with the purchase of both property's.
We had a great experience with Russell & Russell as first time buyers, Zoe and Victoria took the stress out of the process!
Good business
Used Russell & Russell Solicitors for conveyancing and would highly recommend. Lara was really helpful, professional and the service was great value for money. My emaiils were answered by Lara and team in a quick manner and I was provided updates regularly.
Very good solicitors
I would like to say thank you so much for your help and support.
This Law Firm was recommended to us by family members who have used them for years. Myself and my Wife visited the Bury Office to make our Wills. I particularly wanted my Will made as I have an illness which unfortunately means at the age of 55 my life is coming to an early end. The process was simple and very straight forward. We were advised that we would receive our draft wills to peruse over before we book an appointment to have them signed and witnessed. We did receive the draft wills and all was well with the content. I then telephoned the same solicitor on her direct dial No and left a message to be booked in for the will signing. Unfortunately we didn't hear back, so I rang again and left another message. Still no returned call..... To our absolute amazement we then received a letter from her asking us to contact the office and make an appointment or our file will be closed. I then emailed her directly and did receive a response from her apologising that she had been out of office. We were then offered a vague appointment with various dates and times.... I replied accepting the appointment at an office, date and time to suit her availability. Yet again...no response. As the date had now passed I again emailed to book another appointment..again at an office, date and time to suit her availability. We were then offered an appointment on 28th November at either 10 or 11am at the Farnworth office. Great :) I again responded to accept the 28th Novemver and I would leave the time for her to confirm.... Today is 29th November and still no response from the solicitor. I can only assume my illness and need to have a will is not a high enough priority for this firm. Having now spoken to our extended family we have all agreed never to darken their door again and will use a different more responsive law firm..
I couldn't recommend Russell & Russell more highly, especially Zoe Harryman in Conveyancing. She made an incredibly painful sale as easy as she could. Efficient, knowledgeable and kind she put the buyers solicitor to shame.
I used Russell & Russell years ago when I bought my property. I contacted them last week as I had to locate the deeds for my house. They helped immediately, explaining what they could do and when, and resolved my issue quickly and without charge. I love the fact I could pick up the phone as be dealt with quickly and in a no fuss, friendly way. Professional service and highly recommended, particularly Caroline.
The team at Russell & Russell were both professional and efficient. They kept us informed at all times and even when progress was slow due to 3rd party delays. I would use them again and recommend to friends and colleagues.
Amazing company with fantastic staff. They were so efficient and helpful throughout. if all solicitors acted in this way it would be a pleasure to deal with them. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
I have recently completed a large commercial remortgage with Aldermore. Russell and Russell were the appointed firm. After an initial period of duplication of communications due to staff holidays, R&R handled there side of this transaction very well. It was fairly complicated as it involved 5 leasehold properties but initially Ammarah and then Gulrez were nothing but professional and prompt is asking and dealing with matters. Gulrez especially went the extra mile in the last few weeks to get this deal completed as quickly as possible as he was well aware of its importance.
Ammarah and the team managed a remortgage for us with Aldermore Bank. I have to say I was very impressed with the speed of the transaction and the clarity of communication with all the compliance and case progression. I would not hesitate to use again.
I recently needed to remortgage a property. Normally a straightforward transaction but this time made considerably more difficult by the building society’s poor service. Thankfully Rhys and Ella who dealt with my case at Russell & Russell saved the day. From the start they were both courteous, highly efficient (with a can-do attitude) and any emails from my end were answered not just the same day but often within a few hours. Communication is everything in a transaction and as a portfolio landlord, based on this very positive experience I shall be using this firm for all my future business. Highly recommended.
A huge thank you to Natasha and Maleehah Hussain for the smooth transaction and assistance on completing my mortgage! Amazing solicitors and great with updates and communication.
Excellent and professional service provided by Alex and Charlotte. I’ve literally just completed on the sale of my property. They were extremely knowledgeable about a rather complicated leasehold house sale and put me at my ease about each stage of the process. Right from the beginning Charlotte explained roughly how long it would take and what was required of me to get things progressing quickly.Also they were very patient with me and were helpful with any questions I frequently asked! Thanks Alex! Nothing was too much trouble. With ever increasing costs I found Russell and Russell’s solicitors fees one of the best on the market and would highly recommend them. A superior service for a great price!

Dec 13,2023Hannah has been a breath of fresh air and made my move into my little cottage super smooth. The process was made so much easier due to Hannah being so efficient, keeping me posted every step of the way! Not once did I need to chase up my move, as Hannah was great at communicating. When I've worked with other Solicitors before Russell & Russell I felt like I was paying to feel anxious! Hannah took all that away and she's also lovely in person too. Thank you so much! I will always recommend you and use you again in the future x
