What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Conveyancing work, particularly residential purchases, remortgages and first-home transactions, emerges as the area clients most often describe when discussing Richard Reed Solicitors in Sunderland. Several customers describe a smooth and efficient process in which matters were handled quickly, with one purchase completed in around six weeks and a remortgage delivered against a tight deadline. Communication is a point that comes up often, with reviewers noting clear and timely updates and easy contact throughout their cases.

Named staff such as Nicola Bennell, Joanne Wallace, Hannah and Philip Moir receive repeated praise for their helpfulness, responsiveness and professional manner. Beyond property matters, clients mention statutory declarations and the legalisation of documents for apostilles, again crediting quick responses and accommodating service. Reviewers frequently point to the firm's expertise and the reassurance provided during stressful transactions, describing staff as attentive to individual needs and pleasant to deal with.

First-time buyers in particular record appreciation for guidance through an unfamiliar process, while longer-standing clients note that private and commercial matters have been handled with consistent professionalism over many years. The speed of replies, whether by telephone or otherwise, stands out as a recurring theme alongside the careful handling of each transaction from instruction to completion.

At every stage we felt that we were is safe hands. In our case they spotted a legal problem that other solicitors had not noticed.

Philip Moir helps us to legalise documents to send off for Apostals. Very accomodating and quick to respond. Relieved some stress we had trying to get all the documents sorted. Thank you

I recently used Richard Reed Solicitors for the purchase of my new home, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and reassuring. What really impressed me was how quickly everything was handled, they managed to complete the whole process in just 6 weeks! Communication was clear and timely, and I always felt like I knew where things stood. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. The whole team was approachable and genuinely supportive, which made a big difference. I highly recommend Richard Reed Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable and proactive solicitor.

Very professional to deal with but also pleasant with it. Everything sorted very easily and would happily use them again.
