Very helpful and great service
Swiitch and particularly Rory McDermott were extremely diligent and professional in their dealings. It was a rather long process by Swiitch/Rory were patient and dealt with issues that cropped up efficiently. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a competent and friendly service.
We couldn’t be more grateful for the hard work and efforts that Oli Haley put in during our conveyancing process on both the sale and purchase. He was swift and responsive to us from start to finish, especially at times when the other side weren’t slow, he went above and beyond. Thank you Oli for also being so lovely too! We can highly recommend Swiitch for your conveyancing needs.
We would highly recommend Swiitch . Charlotte and Nicole Edwards dealt with our sale and purchase. They were both absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable. Nothing was ever too much trouble . They were quick with their responses constantly keeping us updated. We are extremely grateful to you both . Thank you ! Martyn + Jackie Wilson
From the offset all communication was flowing well. Sadly chasing was necessary on a number of occasions to obtain updates. There was a lengthy gap, when chased it was discovered that a vital piece of information which had been sat on for 4 weeks had not been communicated delaying the sale. This was very frustrating and stressful, also it had financial implications to me. I have used Switch before, they were incredibly efficient, this has not been the case this time, maybe the case handlers / workload etc. Adam Mayer & Zumra Gercek Overall fair handling is all I can say.
Aqeelah Vanat was amazing, she was so helpful with a very tricky sale. She kept me informed through every stage, was extremely professional and kind. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a house, she really goes the extra mile and gives a very personal and professional service.
From my initial conversation with Rhia, right through to the sale and exchange of my flat, both Rhia and Hannah kept me informed and up to date at every stage. There was never a problem asking questions or making the odd call to clarify something. Thank you both.
Lydia and Connor got me out of a massive hole when my sale was happening. Very professional and always available which can’t be said for other firms. Well done guys and thanks.
Not having bought a house for over 30 years I don't know the benchmark for service for buying. The experience I had appeared to be very good, especially Lauren Elliott who was very efficient in getting back to me if I had any queries. I'm not so convinced about the Sequence home conveyancing online service ( hence only 4 stars) Found this a bit of a pain to use, luckily Lauren was able to assist. Help was only a phone call away and they were able to talk me through everything & give explanations where required. Basically almost all the process was left to Swiitch & Lauren Elliott.
It was great to be able to pick up the phone and speak to someone. Gemma Clarke was always helpful and always on the other the end of the phone!
Amazing customer service, efficient and helpful. Would 100% recommend
It is well known that selling a property can often be a daunting and stressful matter. The more so of course, as in our case,when following a family bereavement. However Swiitch and, in particular, Ellie Jones, helped us navigate the tricky path, all the way through to Exchange and Completion. Ellie Jones was, at all times, extremely professional, friendly and the perfect guiding light: keeping us informed at all times and resolving all queries dug up by our Buyer’s Solicitors. I am a layperson concerning the sale of a property but Ellie Jones was supportive and always ready and happy to explain matters, in the simple terms that I could understand. The entire process could easily have become long winded and depressing, however because we had the incredible and personable Ellie Jones leading our team it became a pleasure. I would be happy to use Swiitch for any future legal matters, and will be delighted to recommend Ellie Jones to family and friends
Ellie Jones from Day one was very Professional, kind, very supportive and respectful at all times Nothing was ever to much trouble, she always very promptly answered my Emails, questions and queries. She was always available to talk to me on the phone and she made our Selling Journey very smooth. I felt 100% safe and looked after at all times
I was very impressed with the efficiency of Swiitch, and Tom Love in particular, when dealing with the conveyancing procedure in the sale of my house. I would certainly recommend this organisation to other vendors.
Lydia Dowsett was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process with some help from Connor O'Dell. The sale of my property was particularly difficult with 4 different buyers over a two-year period, and the final buyer with a long protracted sale with my property's Share of Freehold, not so common, challenges around the age of the property, and a change of solicitor as well going from a mortgage to cash buyer last minute. Lydia's communication was excellent; always responsive to emails, phone calls and dealing with enquiries and the challenges. Always extremely professional and kept her sense of humour which was needed sometimes with such a difficult sale. I would definitely recommend Lydia and Swiitch!
Ryan Blake and Holly Mongan dealt with my newbuild, shared ownership purchase. Their support and assistance in dealing with this matter so quickly is greatly appreciated. They were always professional, polite, friendly and available. They mitigated stress levels and kept me regularly updated. Would highly recommend this team. THANK YOU.
Lauren Elliott and Megan Kelly were absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. I was always kept in the loop with regular updates, any questions I had were promptly answered and the service provided was excellent. Would highly recommend.
Honestly have nothing negative to say. It was my first purchase but Claire Ward and Leanne Pearce made it so easy for us. The detail and care in their reports was incredible and I never had to ask a single question which is unbelievable because I am a very cautious spender. Highly recommend Swiitch to anyone buying a property.
Sam has been excellent in terms of her professionalism, support , patience, knowledge , management of complex issues, her interpersonal skills and diligence. We would highly recommend Sam Maloney and Swiitch for conveyancing.
