I sold my house & bought my new property through Swiitch. It was very straightforward, the online portal was easy to use and Hannah Barnes & Aliyah Ramzan were great to deal with.
Swiitch were helpful, clear and prompt in our 5 month journey with them to completing our new home purchase. Some of the time was tricky, to be expected, as it was over Christmas and New Years - but as soon as the year started up again work was done to get us to completion. We really appreciate having Swiitch on our sides, having the option to do most things electronically, and getting the answers we needed as we went with this being our first time buy. Thank you Olivia, Rachael and Emma!
I’ve used a number of law firms over the years for both buyer & seller side residential conveyancing. Shoosmiths/Swiitch were by far the best! Liam Cook dealt with the sale of my property and was responsive and patient throughout, in what became a painfully drawn out conveyance (on the buyer side). I could get in touch with him when needed. He was on top of the transaction throughout and returned calls/emails promptly! I’ve recommended the firm to friends and will most certainly be coming back to them for a fee estimate for a residential purchase in the coming months!
Great online portal so you can start filling in documents immediately. Helpful and quick to respond. I will be using their services again.
The service received from Rory McDermott and Maryam Arif @ Swiitch was excellent! We were dropped by another solicitor late in the purchase process, as our funds came from another country. Swiitch picked up our case and ran with it quickly and efficiently. Rory and Myram kept us up to date constantly. The completion date kept changing in the chain but Rory completed on schedule and we moved in just before Christmas. I can really recommend Swiitch! Thankyou!.
Made the whole process of buying a house so much less stressful. Efficient, friendly and great communication. If my client manager wasn't available, someone on the team could easily see what was happening and give me an update.
We used Swiitch for the sale and purchase of our new property and could not recommend them enough. Zara Sharples took care of our account and she was attentive and efficient and made what should be a stressful period of our lives, completely pain free. Thank you Zara and the team! We will be using them for any future needs and would recommend them.
Very smooth work carried out by Beth Rebhan and her colleagues,keeping up to date with everything, which was really important to us , I would highly recommend.
My experience with Swiitch, particularly with Liam Cook, was outstanding. Liam's professionalism and meticulous attention to detail ensured a stress-free transaction. His clear and timely communication was invaluable. I highly recommend Liam and the Swiitch team for their excellent service and commitment to client satisfaction.
The level of service received by Shoosmiths was exceptional! We were up against very tight timescale due to pressure from our sellers developers. Shauna & Abbie kept us up to date regularly and we didn't have to chase anything. The tight deadline was met and we moved in just before Christmas. I can't recommend Shoosmiths enough! We had such a fantastic team of experts assisting our move and will be forever grateful! :-) .
Superb team effort from Craig, James and Lorna to get our sale and purchase over the line. Always friendly and courteous. Thank you so much.
I had trouble finding a solicitor to take me on with my purchase of a leasehold, however I went to Swiitch via recommendation from the estate agents and they have been very good. They got me in touch with Oli Haley and Maryam Arif. Communication has been excellent, whenever I have contacted by email I receive a response within a day. I had contacted a string of questions regarding my purchase and they called and ran me through all the points so I was on the same page of the book. My purchase is still under way however I could not fault the solicitors and paralegals I have been provided with. The process has been slightly slowed down by the sellers solicitors however when I've contacted for any check ins they were already following up. Would easily recommend!
I found the processes of house sale and purchase were handled very efficiently. Everyone I spoke to in the company was kind, helpful and very supportive. Being elderly, I was pleased that all transactions could still be done by phone or post rather than online. I felt confident in using this company and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
I'm pleased with my purchase, handled by the team at swiitch. Thanks to Emma Tweedale and Rachael Jenkinson for their clear communications, chasing sellers' solicitors to exchange and complete as planned. Really appreciate their support in this process.
Oli Haley, Senior Paralegal, did a fantastic job in managing the legal aspect of our house sale and purchase. Inevitably some parts of the selling and buying process understandably gets a little stressful but Oli's clear communication managed to keep our stress levels to a manageable level! Oli worked with integrity and was firm yet diplomatic where he needed to be, and he kept us informed of status throughout the process. We found Oli's technical understanding of legalities excellent. A big thank you to Oli, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Swiitch to you for your house move.
The whole service was very efficient. Amy was outstanding, she looked after us throughout the process. She gave us gentle reminders when we had forgotten something but was always a phone call away when we needed her. Such a pleasant person, thank you for all your help.
Thank you Rory McDermott for dealing with our house sale. We appreciate your commitment to the task, your prompt actions professional conduct throughout. Much appreciated, Caroline and Gary
