Questions my clients ask me

We do our best to ensure it happens as quickly as possible. However, there are many other parties involved, like search providers, mortgage lenders, the rest of the chain and other solicitors. We have no control over their turnaround times.

We are very proactive and will contact third parties when needed. However, make use of your estate agents. They are best placed to chase, as they’re are able to contact the seller, buyer, other estate agents or solicitors directly.

Throughout the process, you and your team have been professional, extremely efficient and yet always approachable, caring and friendly. We very much enjoyed the team approach which you have implemented – it has meant that we always knew that a team member would be working on our case and we haven’t needed to worry that holiday or other absence might impact the process. Under your leadership, your team runs like clockwork and we’ve valued working with them, both collectively and as individuals.

Liz Deakin Homeowner

Zoe Touhey’s persistence and determination to secure her client’s first home, a flat in London, succeeded in spite of a complex lease which needed alteration and difficulties with access to the property.

Despite having to stay with friends and family while Zoe tackled the complexities, her client was delighted with the support Zoe gave her while the issues were resolved. She said: “Zoe was amazing – she explained everything so well; she was fantastic!”

Complex property lease and delays overcome to create first home

After a number of solicitors had tried to solve the problem, Harrison Clark Rickerbys’ Real Estate Residential Team in Cheltenham rectified a complicated title issue for the Sandersons.

When they were told a restriction on their property title was making it unsellable, the Sandersons were desperate to find a solution to the problem.  Zoe Touhey, partner and Head of Residential Property in Cheltenham and Worcester, looked at the issue from a practical perspective and broke the issue down into its simplest form.

A certificate needed to be provided by a management company which was no longer in existence, but a new one had taken over. Zoe was able to draft the relevant documentation needed by HM Land Registry in order to resolve the issue.

Not only did this benefit the clients who were now able to sell their property, it also benefited the new management company as the properties for which they were responsible could also be sold.

Mr Sanderson said: “Having previously been told by other solicitors that this would be an extremely costly and time consuming issue, I was pleasantly surprised that Harrison Clark Rickerbys rectified this very quickly and my sale moved to completion very smoothly.”
