Lennons Solicitors, simply put, were patient, attentive, knowledgable and, above all, empathetic regarding the sale and purchase of my new home. Having tried to move several times during the pandemic (many surveys, many lost homes due to the uniqueness of the time) Lennons provided expert, professional support with a human element that made the considerable pressure of the process tremendously easier. With clear comms, support, and a smile, Lennons were a true partner, and I recommend them highly!

We have instructed Lennons Solicitors to act on our behalf in the purchase of our first home. From the point of obtaining a quote to completion Ros Nolan and Dianne have provided an exceptional level of service. Ros was very proactive, efficient, professional, and always easily contactable. Both Ros and Dianne were a pleasure to deal with due to their kind and approachable personalities, making a stressful process feel relaxed. We cannot thank or recommend them enough. You are both a credit to Lennons Solicitors.

We engaged Lennons for the sale of our house and the purchase of our new home. Ros Nolan was excellent in both transactions. Ros was thorough and gave excellent, timely updates about the progress of each transaction. The only reason that I have not given 5 stars is that there was no locum cover when Ros was away on holiday. This would have been most helpful. Ros ensured that all the outstanding actions that occurred when she was away were dealt with as a priority on her return. However, this would have been less stressful if some issues had been dealt with in her absence. I would recommend Lennons and will use them again, when the opportunity arises.

In what has been a protracted sale of my flat, Ros Nolan at the Amersham branch has been brilliant throughout. She has been extremely approachable and always willing to go above and beyond expectations to ensure the minimum of stress. We got there in the end and it is thanks to her hard work and patience. Thank you so much.

Having now worked with Lennons twice, once for a sale and once for a purchase, we are so grateful to Fran for all of her hard work, keeping us constantly updated and helping us through the process! We felt so grateful that we had her expertise and knowledge available. Thank you so much!

Posting on behalf of my parents, both 95. Ros Nolan acted on their behalf in a purchase and a sale. Ros and her team went above and beyond their remit to make both these tranactions as smooth and stress free as they could be. No hesitation in recommending Lennons, they are extremely professional but also very caring.

I had excellent personal service from Ros Nolan. She gave me the perfect combination of professionalism and humanity. As a first time seller she took me through the process with efficiency and kindness. A really great experience.

A great team who can be trusted and left to get on with the job of bringing a house purchase to completion without having to hassle them! They say what they'll do and do what they say - and they'll spot the detail you will probably miss! Can't speak highly enough about them.

As we live in New Zealand, we asked our estate agent who they would recommend to handle the sale of our property. The agent stated that the only agent he was 100% happy to refer us to was Jackie Stay at Lennons.Jackie was on holiday when our sale started but her assistant Marilyn was super-efficient at getting all of the documentation and necessary paperwork sorted in Jackie's absence, so the process was not impacted at all.The sale (leasehold) was complex and extremely tight on timings and both Jackie and Marilyn remained calm, efficient, good-humoured and professional the whole way through, managing to complete at the agreed date, much to our surprise and delight!Our huge thanks to you both and the team at Lennons for your work in helping us navigate through this sale.

We recently used Ros at Lennon’s and between herself and Dianne they did a super job with our sale and purchase. Very smooth from start to finish, clear communication and swift action when needed. To get the transaction done within 12 weeks in the current climate was a great effort. If needed we will definitely be back.

Paul Calway

Could not recommend these guys enough. John Churchill was our solicitor and he was friendly, efficient and hard working. He somehow managed to get our sale and purchase through in a little over two months. Fantastic service.

We were recommended to use Ros at Lennons Solicitors and we were not disappointed. In an exceedingly busy time with the stamp duty holiday about to end, she has delivered a first class service and has always been available to answers any questions, not matter what they were.I would not hesitate to recommend her and would certainly use her again for any future moves. She made a very stressful process a lot easier.

Knowing how stressful house purchasing can be, we were keen to reduce that as much as possible by finding a great solicitor. We definitely struck gold when Ros Nolan at Lesson's agreed to take on our work. Courteous, caring, personable and gets the job done. We are busy and don't have the time to be following up services and this was so efficient. Most of our communications were by email and Ros knew exactly when a phone call would be better! We recommend Ros and the team at Lennons.

My house purchasing experience was made so straightforward & stress free with Ros Nolan at Lennons Solicitors. She was very responsive, genuine & transparent and importantly an absolute pleasure to deal with! She kept things moving quickly and me updated throughout the process. Her assistant Dianne was also super helpful.I would highly recommend Ros and Lennons Solicitors.

We engaged Ros Nolan of Lennons Solicitors to act as our conveyancer in a house purchase. This needed to happen in under 10 weeks. From the get-go, Ros was friendly, on-the-ball, quick to respond and realistic. We completed in less than 9 weeks; this was in no small part down to her professionalism. All of this at a reasonable price. Thoroughly recommended.

Paula Hurd

Ros guided us through our recent house purchase. From the very first call, we knew we were dealing with a true professional. She is highly knowledgeable, very personable, always responsive and proactive, took time to explain our options, offered reasoned solutions and made the process stress-free.Dianne answered our phone calls, kept us updated and ensured that the onboarding and fee payment process was handled smoothly.When Ros was on leave, we were assigned a locum solicitor which meant that we had continuity of service.

We've recently completed on our first property and we would like to recognise both Todd and Lennons for their support and guidance throughout the process. Having not been through this process before, it was quite daunting to know what actions needed to be done. Todd was always available to put our minds at ease and coach us on every step along the way. We'd recommend Lennons to anyone looking for professional support when buying or selling.

Matthew Arnold

Francesca really went above and beyond to keep us up to date throughout the whole process.

I can’t praise Lennons Solicitors of Amersham enough, but especially to Ros Nolan and her PA Dianne for the exceptional work they did in the sale of my house so recently.Ros was always prompt with all her responses, professional and so approachable when it came to any problems. We only completed last Friday and I am so VERY VERY grateful to her because without her hard work and total efficiency it could have been a very different story considering the news of today, and the impact it is having on the house sales market.Her fantastic services were reasonably priced and I would recommend Lennons and Ros to anyone looking for a fantastic local solicitor to help in the sale or purchase of any property.Thank you so much.Kate

We used Ros at Lennons as our conveyancing solicitor for a house buy. As first time buyers we needed lots of guidance which Ros happily gave. She was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. She was on top of everything and kept us informed along the way. I can highly recommend.

Pip H

18:12 29 Feb 20

We recently completed on the sale and purchase of our home and Ros Nolan carried out our conveyancing work. For a number of reasons, the transaction was rather long and protracted, so we were pleased to have Ros as our lawyer and very impressed with her readiness to go the extra mile. She was always easy to contact and ready to talk through any issue that concerned us. This is the second time Ros has acted for us and it felt like having a good friend 'in our corner’ helping to smooth out the problems and bring us to completion. Thankyou Lennons for a job well done!

I could not have asked for a better conveyancer than Ros Nolan at Lennons to help me through my first house purchase.

Andrew king from Lennons Solicitors is excellent at what he does. Having conducted research around various firms based upon expertise and reviews I opted to instruct Lennon's Solicitors. My point of contact was Pauline Barber who took my initial information. I was then referred to Andrew in respect of a sensitive property / probate matter, which was a very stressful situation for my mother. Suffice to say Andrew was personal but professional in his approach, explaining everything in a way you can understand, whilst providing clear options in how to progress matters. He was helpful in resolving any queries and concerns which were raised. This not only helped me tremendously in obtaining the correct information he required but it also made matters stress free and easy for my mother to understand. Pauline assisted in proceedings when Andrew was not available and all messages left received prompt responses by both Pauline and Andrew. Overall Lennon's were selected for their reputation and expertise in the field i required. Suffice to say Lennon's did not fail to deliver and Andrew is a damn good solicitor, who I would recommend 100%.

Rachel Moore

12:50 16 Oct 19

I've used Todd Bowsher for buying/selling property twice now and both times have been straight forward and stress-free. It became apparent to me in buying my latest flat the importance of having a good solicitor and I can't recommend Todd, and Lennons, highly enough.

12:21 14 Oct 19

Dear Todd, having worked with you on a number of property purchases over the last few years, I am delighted to offer my feedback.

Lennons Solicitors were highly recommended by 2 lots of friends and Lennons lived up to our expectations when selling a house in York via probate and some very technical aspects linked to Land Registry - we live in Bucks - and the whole process was very efficient and economic under Ros Nolan who proved to be a very safe pair of hands. We were fully kept in the picture throughout the process with an outcome we were looking for. We will appoint Lennons for legal services in the future and would recommend Lennons to others as well.Alison an Bal Chauhan

Sarah Quane

We were recommended to use the services of Ros Nolan when selling our house in Chesham. Really grateful that we took the advice as compared to some of the solictors in the chain, Ros was always readily available to speak to us, replied to emails promptly and gave us really good advice throughout the process. So much so, we have instructed her to act for a purchase on our sons behalf and again, Ros is readily available and gives our son, as a first time buyer, lots of time and reassures him whenever he has a question or query. Top marks for communication which when both buying and selling, is imperative. Highly Recommend

Chris Barrett

Details of this firm appeared on line when I was researching a Land Registry form. After using their chat line I received a call back from Mike Wragg and was given the information I required, and which I had been unable to access from the Land Registry site. Excellent advice and would definitely recommend.
