Having never sold a property before and doing so now with no family support I truly had no idea of what was involved. I can honestly say right from the start all the staff and especially Shauna Hanlon and her team at Swiitch were always approachable, accommodating, happy to explain any detail and always carried out my wishes as instructed. The whole process went through very smoothly and seemed to progress quite quickly. I would be happy to recommend Swiitch to anyone selling a property.
Once a buyer was found Swiitch and my conveyancing contact Jasmine Castle-McKenzie kept me fully informed.
We recently sold our property through Switch Solicitors in Dagenham and moved to Clacton our solicitor Liam was excellent throughout our transactions would highly recommend Switch fantastic service.
From start to finish an exemplary service, Amy Cornforth and Kelly Brown were extremely professional, courteous and kind. They answered any and all questions I brought up very quickly and kept me informed of their progress throughout the process. Can’t say enough nice things about them both, a credit to their firm.
From beginning our conveyancing to the final completion on our sale and purchase, Amy Cornforth and Kelly Brown have made an otherwise unenjoyable experience completely stress-free. I’ve been really impressed by their can-do attitude and friendly approach to their work right the way through the process and nothing seems too much effort. I thought at first that due to Swiitch being a large company that the personal approach to customer service would be missing but this just wasn’t the case. The level of communication has been fantastic and timely updates have been forthcoming throughout. I would recommend Swiitch (Shoesmiths) one hundred percent. Thanks so much Amy and Kelly, your help getting us over the line is much appreciated :-)
Andrea Rushbridge and Mahira Butt were consistently excellent throughout my claim . They were not only professional but kind, caring and understanding. They made what was an incredibly difficult time for me as easy as they possibly could. I can’t thank them enough.
Nicole Edwards acted as my conveyancing solicitor /paralegal and has been very efficient, helpful and supportive throughout this process. Communications were clear and timely, responding quickly to any queries from both myself and the buyers. As a result, the process has taken just over 10 weeks and has been relatively stress free. Thank you Nicole!
Excellent service from Rory McDermott from Switch. Rory was professional, helpful, and informative at all times, I couldn't have asked for more when buying and selling my house. Would highly recommend.
My experience of Zara Sharples has been five star. She has been accessible, reliable and an excellent legal advisor for my recent house sale and purchase. There were some challenging aspects that she dealt with promptly and professionally. My thanks to you Zara.
Very happy with the service thanks for all your hard work
They kept me updated throughout the process with regular phone calls and emails. Our contact was Leanne Pearce and she was professional and friendly.
Excellent service from Lydia and Connor. Kept updated. Acted promptly when issues arose with the sale of our late parents property so that everything was in place for a swift completion. Would highly recommend.
Beth Rebhan and her colleagues have made the whole process as easy as possible for us, the service has been excellent and I can thoroughly recommend Swiitch for your house moving and buying needs. Beth is excellent at her job and a valuable asset to Swiitch.
Credit where it's due from start to finish the Team at Swiitch were helpful and professional all the way throughout our conveyancing period. A special thank you to Oli Haley who demonstrated professionalism and promptness all the way through to completion and not to forget his advice and guidance. A big thank you !
Definitely would recommend Swiitch if you are selling/buying a house. Chloe Miller who was looking after our sale could not have been more helpful from start to completion. She kept us informed every step of the way. Thank you Chloe.
We had a great experience with Shoosmiths. Regan Salter couldn’t have been more helpful. She really went above and beyond and we are so grateful to her for all her help in selling our home. I think we were probably quite a difficult client at times but Regan was always extremely responsive and managed to pull it all together on our completion date and get it over the line for us when it looked like it wasn’t possible. Would highly recommend as it was an excellent service.
Amy Cornforth and Kelly brown were both very efficient and extremely helpful.
I used Swittch when purchasing my first house, this is not something I have ever had to do so I was very unsure on how the process worked. Beth Rebhan answered all of my questions and worries throughout the process and kept me in the loop with what was going on. She helped make the process smooth and less stressful. Would definitely recommend and use again for when I next move
Georgie Coker and Michelle Higgs have been very supportive through a stressful process. Always patient when we keep asking questions.

May 10,2024Beth Wheeler’s compassion, insightful help and advice, and understanding really helped us through what has been a horrendous process (no fault of Swiitch) - and the little hooray email we got upon exchange was a lovely touch! We both really feel that we have built a good relationship with Beth and the team.
