I first had Jamieson Alexander and Ben Colenutt recommended to me by a friend when I was looking to extend the Lease on my Residential Flat and negotiations with the Freeholders to do so outside of the 1993 Act had broken down irretrievably due to their intransigence in wanting new unreasonable levels of multiplying Ground Rents.

The time came to exercise my right to extend within the 1993 Act and all the benefits that brings. Ben was a godsend, metaphorically holding my hand at every stage, giving superlative advice, and always acting extremely promptly. The service I received ended up surpassing all expectations. Ben (specifically at my request) suggested a few Valuation Surveyors I might approach, and I independently chose one best suited to me after enquiring on their fees and services.

When the Freeholder s Solicitor made frankly unreasonable requests, Ben promptly countered each one within the Law, acting protectively of my position. The end result was a Lease Extension I frankly worried about at every stage but in hindsight did not need to worry about as Ben was so good. The extended Lease I ended up with was really of a Gold Star nature for me, and future owners of that Lease.

I was so happy as a result that when a neighbouring Leaseholder asked me about extending her Lease too, I pointed her straight in Ben s direction where he achieved (I believe) the same results she too is extremely happy with Ben.

When the time then came to put the Flat on the market to sell, it was a no brainer for me I had to come to Jamieson Alexander for my Conveyancing, and this is where I encountered Angela Morreale. Life has sadly taught me to be a distrusting individual initially, but it didn t take too long for Angela to totally win me over by her work. I may not have always believed it at first, but at every stage Angela s advice proved bang-on correct. We had many a troubled moment with two failed sales (prospective Buyers acting not within the rules of Cricket ), but in hindsight (again!) I shouldn t have fretted as much. Angela was always there acting promptly for me, and (like Ben beforehand) acting in my best interests and metaphorically holding my hand right through to a successful Completion. Angela will be my first port of call for the Conveyancing in any future Property transactions, buying or selling.

At every stage in both cases, all other members of Jamieson Alexander staff I dealt with were courteous and polite and totally professional and ethical in their dealings. Alex Pappin and Ben Colenutt and Angela Morreale have a team to be proud of.

Based on my experiences, I unreservedly recommend Jamieson Alexander to anyone seeking an excellent Legal firm to act for them. The fees may not always be the cheapest, but I have no regrets as the quality of service provided is more than worth that bit extra.
