Brilliant updates communication and a very competent company Nothing was to much trouble for any staff member I spoke with Made my house move easy A pleasure to have done business with
With a very challenging Buyers Solicitor to deal with, the team at Swiitch were efficient, commutative and patient going above an beyond the necessary. A great help during a stressful time. This is the second time I have used Swiitch and I would happily use them again in the future.
My partner and I purchased our home using Shoosmiths. They were recommended by the estate agent. Shoosmiths provided an excellent service. Shauna Hanlon and Abbie Surr were brilliant! The process took a lot longer than expected, Shauna and Abbie kept us updated throughout the process until completion. They are professional and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend them and will definitely be using the service again!
Holly Mongan and Ryan Blake provided an outstanding service. They were professional, knowledgeable and approachable whilst they dealt with the sale of my property. I cannot recommend the team highly enough.
As first-time buyers, we were completely unfamiliar with the home-buying process and often felt overwhelmed. However, we were fortunate to have Stuart by our side. With his extensive professional knowledge and wealth of experience, he provided us with a sense of calm and confidence, ultimately leading to a successful transaction. Additionally, we would like to express our gratitude to Zara for her patient and friendly communication. She was consistently accessible and made the entire experience much smoother. We wholeheartedly recommend and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future if the need arises.
Myself and my partner have used Swiitch for our house purchase and I cannot recommend them enough! A notable mention to our Paralegal, Nicole Edwards. Nicole has been extremely communicative throughout the entire process and has never failed to keep us in the loop. It is also my first time buying a property and she has taken the time to explain each step we've gone through in such great detail to help me better understand the process which has been so greatly appreciated!
Holly Mongan and Ryan Blake helped my Mum & Dad to purchase their new home in Gillingham, Dorset. Mum & Dad are elderly and were assisted by their two daughters. Holly and Ryan were at all times professional and showed patience and understanding of the extra help that my parents needed to complete this purchase for themselves. The property was also leasehold with third parties of landlord and management company to deal with. There was a huge amount of paperwork to process and they did this in a way that was clear for us to understand. Thank you Ryan in particular for the many calls I made to discuss the various points that came up. You have great listening skills and a manner that brings calm to a stressful situation and stressed client! Thank you both so much.
I cannot praise Julianah Agemoh-Davies and Kelly Stubbs enough for their help throughout our recent topsy-turvy home sale. Julianah, Kelly, and other members of their team (Abby and Lydia come to mind) have been helpful and reassuring every step of the way. They clearly have a deep knowledge base and have a ton of experience with different scenarios, and they're very agile and responsive. Our buyer said they wanted to exchange at 10am, and by 2:25pm it was done - because this team were well-organised, very thorough, and simply unflappable. Julianah especially (who was in charge of our file) was patient with our many queries, was always calm and collected, and she was more than willing to go the extra mile, contacting our previous solicitors to get information for us. As a bonus: Swiitch utilise a portal for documents prep and upload, which was great especially in this day and age. It's not perfect, but you have a place where all your documents are stored - very handy.
Leanne Pearce did a great job for me during my house sale. She kept in touch regularly, moved things along quickly and I always felt confident that she had everything under control for me. On the occasions we spoke, she was easy to engage with and super-professional - thank you Leanne, very much appreciated. Really happy with the Swiitch service overall too - very efficient.
As first time buyers, dealing with solicitors for me was my biggest fear as I really didn’t know much about the solicitors sides of things. Amy Cornforth and Kelly Brown, have been life saves. Not problem to big or small. Both always willing to help and answer any questions. Our chain had a few bumps along the way but both Amy and Kelly were amazing and did everything they could to keep us on track. I would highly recommend. Amy and Kelly if you see this, thank you so much. You really have been amazing.
Beth Wheeler and her team handled our old house sale and new home purchase really well and we found them to be friendly professional competent and efficient. Would definitely recommend and use again if needed in the future.
We can’t be grateful enough for the great and professional job Julia Speed,Melissa and Amie did to us. We had a dead line to vacate our old house and girls made everything for us in very short time. 11th of January we had a house viewing and 26th of February we got a keys. Thank you the most professional and fastest team 🤍
We cannot thanks Julianna & Kelly enough for their commitment & help during the whole process, always kept us updated & were a pleasure to speak to when dealing with any queries
Lauren and Megan were superb, they sold our last house and purchased our new house. They went the extra mile when we were having issues with the sellers, they chased and chased and took people to task, I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone and will certainly use them again if the need arises.
Our conveyancer James Gamblin has just helped us through one of the most stressful property sales we have ever experienced involving the simultaneous extension of a lease. James was supportive, calm and professional, responding quickly to all the challenges that came our way. We are very grateful to James and his colleagues for getting us through a process that we hope never to have to repeat again! Thank you James!
Lia Ingleby handled my case and was most professional and efficient and always responded quickly to any questions I had. I can only say that Switch were a pleasure to deal with and would recommend them to anyone looking for a company to deal with their conveyancing.
Rhia De Branco has assisted us with our move over the last 4-5 months and she has been nothing short of excellent. A sound advisor, trustworthy, professional and responsive. A credit to the Swiitch team and would have no doubt in recommending Rhia and her team to anybody!
Beth Wheeler took over the account, transforming our experience with the company, from poor to brilliant. Beth and her team, made it happen and guided us through the final stage. Now look forward to buying a house with Beth and team handling it.
I am very happy with the service and support from Swiitch and many thanks to Mahi Tasnim for her help and prompt responses. Very professional and sorted out everything within expected time.
