Highly recommended for family matters

I've recently had reason to deal with Jacqueline Reeves for a consent order.
From the initial free consultation, I felt assured that Jackie would definitely be the right person to act on my behalf.
She was very thorough, guiding me through a process that I had absolutely no idea about.
Jackie managed my expectations and achieved the outcome that I was aiming for, all in a very timely manner with excellent communication throughout the process.
I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending Jackie's services to others.

Great personal service from Lucy Spollin and Mia

From our first meeting with Lucy Spollin, we felt assured that we had chosen the right solicitor. It was over thirty years since we last moved and we really appreciated the professional and friendly approach from Lucy and Mia to get the process started.

They were very easy to contact when we had questions and dealt very efficiently with the many issues that arose with a lengthy chain and the delays when our seller's initial onward purchase fell through.

Lucy was always on hand to give us advice regarding negotiations with our purchase and sale. We particularly appreciate her expertise to come up with solutions to solve problems at the top and bottom of the chain so that exchange could finally be achieved.

Thank you to all the team at Trethowans, great personal service. We are really excited to move into our new home this Wednesday. Arthur & Lynn.

I can't thank Lorna, Rebecca and Annalee enough for all of their work and thoroughness handling my property purchase. Their quick turn-around, attention to detail, and guidance really eased a lot of the anxiety I had as a FTB. They took the time to keep me informed, answer questions and make sure I had all the information in as straightforward manner as possible. I highly recommend their services.

Outstanding Conveyancing Service

We cannot recommend the conveyancing team at Trethowans in Winchester highly enough. Once we’d found a buyer for our property, Lorna and Rebecca took over and handled everything with exceptional professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail.

They kept the transaction moving smoothly from start to finish, communicated clearly throughout, and ensured every stage of the process was dealt with promptly. Their proactive approach meant that what can often be a stressful experience was, for us, completely stress-free.

We are incredibly grateful for their hard work, expertise, and excellent customer service. If you’re looking for a conveyancing team that genuinely goes the extra mile, we would wholeheartedly recommend Lorna and Rebecca at Trethowans, Winchester.

Thank you both for making our house sale such a smooth and positive experience.
