We engaged Trueman Bailey Law on a Thursday afternoon in genuinely urgent circumstances, after our previous solicitors unexpectedly disengaged from our conveyancing at the point we were due to exchange.
After a brief discussion of the circumstances, Louise, who immediately understood the urgency and severity of our situation instructed Lewis to act.
From the moment Lewis Hutson became involved, the difference was remarkable. He cleared his workload, picked up an unfamiliar transaction at extremely short notice, worked through the handover material and took control of the conveyancing with complete professionalism.
We completed at 3:20pm on Tuesday — just five days after first making contact, including the weekend.
Throughout the entire process, Lewis was exceptional. Communication was excellent at all times, he kept us informed of progress, explained what was happening clearly, responded quickly whenever we needed him, and was consistently helpful, calm and personable despite the very considerable time pressure involved.
What impressed us most was that the speed never came at the expense of professionalism or attention to detail. We never felt that the matter was being rushed carelessly; instead, Lewis gave us the sense that he had properly taken ownership of the transaction and was doing everything necessary to get it completed safely and efficiently.
Given the circumstances in which we approached Trueman Bailey, we could not realistically have hoped for a better outcome.
Lewis turned what had become an extremely stressful situation into a successful completion in a matter of days.
I would recommend Lewis Hutson and Trueman Bailey Law without hesitation, particularly to anyone who values responsiveness, clear communication and a solicitor who is genuinely prepared to take ownership when it matters.
I highly recommend TRUEMAN Bailey Law. We were at a crucial point in our move when our solicitors dis-engaged, we had 5 days (including the weekend) to exchange and complete! TRUEMAN Bailey Law immediately took our case. Lewis Hutson quickly got up to speed with our sale, he was calm, professional, and incredibly supportive during a very stressful process. He kept us informed and reassured throughout. I’d also like to mention Louise Trueman, whose support and professionalism made us feel genuinely looked after. They went above and beyond, and we always felt in safe hands. Thank you to Lewis, Louise, and the team, highly recommended! Much appreciated!
