Our Response Times As you can imagine, we’re busy conveyancers and our email response time is normally within one business day, but it can be several days, depending on your enquiry. If we have an update for you, rest-assured we endeavour to contact you within one business day by email or phone, but please don’t expect us to respond to your email on the same day you contacted us, although we’d like to, as it just isn’t feasible given the hundreds of emails we receive each day. We aim to provide a first-class conveyancing service and response, though with over 400 emails per case handler, per week, it can be challenging. Please do not email us several times to chase us, as this approach is unlikely to help speed your transaction, instead, please note our standard response times below:

Licensed Conveyancer, Lawson West Solicitors
Market Harborough
"Rachael Mitchell handled our recent house purchase. Her approach is always methodical and thorough giving you confidence throughout the end-to-end 'ordeal' of buying a house in the UK. Our purchase should have, on paper, been so simple, but as generally is the case, there were a few unplanned twists and turns. We are more than happy to recommend Rachael and based on our experience, she will handle any sale or purchase for you with due care and diligence."

"I just wanted to express our thanks for all the help you have given us over the past year with gaining probate for our family member and also for work done in selling the residential property. This is the first time that we have used solicitors and with the complications that were thrown in the mix, we would have been at a loss as to what to do if it hadn't been for your guidance. So thanks once again."
and on Google Reviews:
"Earlier in the year, we were faced with what initially seemed like a straight forward process. However as things progressed and other events happened, this straight forward process became more complicated. Lawson West Solicitors were incredibly helpful throughout the whole process of both gaining probate for two people and also in house conveyance. Yes they have a cost, but for us it was worth every penny to know that things were being dealt with swiftly, professionally and courteously as well. Advice was given when asked, and nothing was too much for them. Would highly recommend and would be my first port of call for any future needs."

Shannon Biddiss |
Charlotte Sheehan |
"You have been outstanding and a superb ambassador for your firm. Your advice and empathetic approach in dealing with this protracted [conveyancing] sale, has been totally focussed on delivering a successful outcome. It feels like rather than 'going that extra mile’, you have run a marathon for us, with some great assistance from the Lawson-West team, in particular Shannon Biddiss, who kept the pace going for such a long time and could not have been more helpful.
Both of you were willing to listen and take time during a period of huge pandemic strain and stress for everyone. Your good humour, positive attitude and focus on action never let you down.
It was you, who finally got this over the finishing line, keeping everything clear and as straightforward as possible and always being absolutely on the ball. It has always felt throughout this difficult process that you have had our back - and that has been absolutely priceless. A sincere and heartfelt thank you from us both.
We decided to use Lawson-West for this sale because my parents had used the firm for their Wills and did such an excellent job handling Dad’s probate. We made the right choice. There is either something special in the way the firm develops their team, or we have simply been extremely fortunate twice in a row."
