What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Conveyancing, probate and family law work dominate the feedback for this Norwich firm, with property transactions appearing most frequently. Several customers describe house purchases and sales that ran smoothly because named solicitors kept matters moving and explained each stage in plain terms. Rachael and Angela are repeatedly praised for guiding first-time buyers through a difficult purchase, including the honest advice to withdraw when the sellers failed to provide essential information.

Madison and Kate come up often in relation to property transactions, described as friendly, professional and prompt in answering queries, while Anna is credited with being proactive and keeping all parties informed during a sale. Ejike and Pat Gibney receive similar recognition for probate and estate administration, with reviewers noting that updates arrived without any need to chase and that complex tax and court requirements were handled patiently.

Ellie is mentioned for family proceedings, where her calm, thorough approach and clear explanations were valued during a stressful period. A recurring theme is communication before, during and after the work, alongside attention to detail and the speed with which complications were resolved. Clients also note that they would return for future property matters, and the handling of Wills and trusts is mentioned alongside probate.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leathes Prior. Madison and Kate did an excellent job representing me during a recent property transaction, despite the transaction not being quite as straight forward as I’d initially hoped! Madison and Kate were both friendly and professional at all times, responding promptly to any queries. As such, I’ll be using Leathes Prior again for my future property transactions, as I couldn’t fault the service provided and I have total confidence in them.

Rachael and Angela have been absolutely fantastic throughout what has been a very stressful process for us as first-time buyers. We initially had an offer accepted on a property, but unfortunately the sellers consistently failed to provide the information needed to progress the purchase. After seven months, Rachael was incredibly honest and advised that, it was in our best interests to pull out. Although this was a difficult decision, we really appreciated her honesty and guidance. When we found a new property, Rachael and Angela worked incredibly hard to get everything progressed and completed within just seven weeks. This was especially important to us with the arrival of our baby approaching, and they did everything they could to relieve the pressure and make the process as smooth as possible. We genuinely cannot thank them both enough for their clear communication. Buying our first home has been stressful at times, but having Rachael and Angela guiding us through it made such a difference. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a solicitor.

Best decision I made was to hire Leathes Prior, and in particular Ejike, to manage the probate process for my mother's estate. I simply couldn't have completed the paperwork correctly with the nuances the taxman and court required without the legal understanding these guys have. Ejike was friendly, professional, efficient and very patient when the co-executor challenged the process at each stage, keeping me informed of the progress. LP were recommended to me by a friend and I'm passing on that recommendation, the costs were very reasonable and I couldn't be happier with their service and the outcome.

Highly recommended! My manager recommended me the solicitor for our first house purchase. Madison from Leathes Prior has been great and super helpful. She is really attention to details and instructed us step by step of the process. Definitely will use them again for house purchase or sale. 🥰

Emily Whelband at Leathes Prior has been outstanding in supporting the sale of my property. There were a few unexpected issues along the way which were dealt with in a timely and professional manner. Communication has been perfect and I have been updated effectively along the way. All my queries were dealt with appropriately. I would have no hesitation to recommend Emily's services to others

My house purchase experience with Leathes Prior has been excellent. Emily Whelband in particular was a wonderful guiding hand throughout the process. She was always available on the end of the phone to offer advice and support. I couldn't be happier with the service provided.

I really recommend using these. Rachael's knowledge, expertise, speed and professionalism was second to none. Angela Chalmers was also a delight, amazing communication, nothing was too much trouble. We look forward to using these amazing people to act for us again in the not too distant future. Many thanks
