Winchester House sale
Working with Lorna on our house sale proved to be a very positive experience. Efficient and responsive particularly when things became challenging just ahead of the Exchange she helped us navigate through and still hit our completion date. And fees were super competitive.

This was the fourth convenance for our family which Trethowans have handled. Experience has been universally excellent, especially with Bernitta Russell as our lead solicitor. Prompt communications and clear instructions as to what we needed to do. Helpful advise and support during the tricky negotiation stages which can be so stressful.

Bernitta Russell
I never write reviews for other solicitor's but I worked on a transaction with Bernitta Russell who was so amazing I had to.
She completed a very last minute sale transaction (we notified her the same day) before 3pm.
I wish every solicitor/conveyancer was like her.

Dilligent & Thorough
Trethowans (Jon Laidler specifically) were dilligent and thorough throughout the entire process. I was part of a complicated onwards chain and Jon left no stone un-turned and help navigate us through a raft of challenges. I would happily recommend Jon and the team at Trethowans.
