I can't praise Lightfoots highly enough. As a mortgage adviser, I am used to dealing with multiple Solicitor firms, so it was truly refreshing to deal with Alex and Chanice Nembot who couldn't have been more helpful. Lightfoots were representing the lender in this instance, but due to their swift actions, responses, and helpfulness, they ensured that my clients could complete on time, despite the multiple failings of my client's own acting Solicitor. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this firm in a heartbeat. Thank you so much! Susie

Initially we had tried selling our home from November 2024 but only had three viewings and no offers. For personal reasons we needed to downsize into a ground floor situation with nearby parking. Our selling situation had not changed by February 2025 and so we explored other options. The one that ticked most boxes was a ground-floor apartment in Riverain Lodge, a Churchills Retirement property of 72 apartments situated centrally in Taunton. We had several viewings, and we had one reservation on us making a decision. We had viewed a flat in the Locking area of Weston Super Mare, and also a McCarthy & Stone establishment on Beach Road in Weston Super Mare, also a Local Authority complex of apartments on the edge of Taunton, but those all had one thing in common. No allotted parking space, no consideration for a Blue Badge Holder, and nowhere near enough parking spaces for the number of apartments. What was available was all on a first- come, first-served basis. The parking issue was, and still is, an issue but after a lot of soul searching we focused on Riverain Lodge as the one that met most of our requirements. The options to consider were a straight forward sale and purchase but that would not happen without an offer on our home. Alternatively a lifetime mortgage, or a bridging loan, but we decided that was not an option. The remaining was a home exchange in return for a lifetime lease on one of the apartments in Riverain Lodge. The Home Exchange entails having up to 3 valuations and reports on our home by independent Estate Agents and of those one is chosen and presented to a panel of five companies. They decide if they are prepared to make an offer on purchasing your home which one did but as advised any offer would be considerably lower than the market value as those companies purely buy cheap and sell high. But through the lifetime lease plan the offer price would enable us to acquire the apartment and move in within a short time and Churchills offered incentives also. As well as Churchills being involved, Lightfoots Solicitors were also involved with the purchase of our company acting on our behalf during this complicated transaction. My contacts with this company were Louise Hazell and Sophie Wilde. Although Sophie was our main contact and I cannot praise and thank her for her prompt communication and support through what turned out to be very stressful, but that was through no fault of Lightfoots Solicitors. We have Radon Gas and Mining Surveys and Cornwall in general to thank for those and are grateful to Sophie for her valuable help and support through those trying times.

Recommended to me by my Agent. Lauren Miler and her senior Kate Williams, did a fantastic job dealing with the sale of my mixed commercial and residential property bringing the whole deal to a successful completion.

I worked closely with Louise and Sue throughout the process of purchasing a house and I can’t express enough how grateful we are for the work they done. We encountered a lot of stress throughout the process but their communication and professionalism made me feel like we were in safe hands. Lightfoots, Louise, Sue were brilliant to work with.

I have bought several houses over the years, and Amit Sareen who handled this purchase, which was a complicated bridging loan was fantastic.

He always answered the phone when I needed clarification on tricky legal jargon and was clear and super helpful

Highly recommended

Having recently used Lightfoots Solicitors I have received an excellent service in every way, prompt response, excellent advice, all delivered in a friendly but very professional manner. I would not hesitate approaching them again for any future legal requirement.

Lightfoots facilitated a loan for house purchase. I dealt with Beth Hawes, who was efficient, kind and always communicated quickly and precisely. Excellent service - thank you.

Thank you to Lightfoots Solicitors and especially Elise Staples who was extremely helpful, professional and thorough with our recent remortgage of our buy to let property. Elise was approachable and extremely prompt with any queries we had in regards to the paperwork involved.

My Partner and I have just bought our first home and we used Lightfoot Solicitors. Louise Hazell was outstanding from Day one, the process went so much quicker than we thought, she communicated with us for every step and we never had to chase her for information. Excellent service, she made it so stress free for us. Thank you Louise, you were amazing!

I needed to rewrite my will as the original one was out of date. Megan explained the process very clearly and the whole process was completed quickly and efficiently. I have no hesitation in recommending Lightfoots Solicitors for all legal matters.

We were going through a complicated residential house purchase and had already had a number of set backs. Louise Hazzel was our solicitor at Lightfoots who did an incredible job of getting the purchase over the line despite challenges. She was always happy to explain things over the phone and kept us in the loop during the process. Thank you Louise, you have been incredible.

Megan was able to explain the will writing process in easy to use terms and answer our queries re power of attorneys. The fees were explained from the start and the whole process was very straightforward.

Fantastic service! Great communication from Bethany and the company itself, they were clear and very quick with all questions and decisions. I would highly recommend using their services.

Thank you Bethany!

We have used Lightfoots for many years for a number of issues. Each time we have been dealt with very professionally and pleasantly. There have been different specialist solicitors for each matter. Each one has been pleasant and efficient.

Dealing with legal matters can be stressful but Megan was efficient, helpful with advice and I felt that she took a genuine interest and care in my well being. Using a solicitor may not be cheap but for peace of mind it’s worth it.

Louise Hazell was absolutely outstanding throughout a long 6 month transaction from day 1. She was always available for a phone call and super responsive to emails. She made every step so clear and simple to understand as a first time buyer. I don’t think my property purchase would have gone through without her acting for me. Would highly recommend.

Very professional and all dealt with very smoothly many thanks to Melanie and the team for all their help.

Instructions can be clearer. Compliance is not efficient, should deploy digital tools fir AML checks.
