“Throughout the process of selling the house, I have been impressed with the sheer professionalism of Streathers. Never stuffy or boring, this Practice is also filled with people who are enjoyable to work with. Sam Smith was excellent at explaining – in plain English – the role of solicitors in the legal process and what exactly is required from sellers. And Victoria Kernahan, who dealt with the formalities, not only proved super-efficient at dealing with the legal stuff and excellent at chasing our buyer’s tardy solicitors, but also has a keen sense of humour. Which meant that having to phone (or email) our solicitor was never a chore – or a bore. Today, as I raise a glass to completion, I salute Streathers and thank Sam and Victoria for their hard work! “

“Victoria Kernahan and Sam Smith, and their colleagues, looked after me beautifully at a difficult time. Particularly Sam and Rachel’s patience, refusal to rush; and protecting me from both sellers and buyers. And even more Victoria’s calm, attention, care and steadiness, plus great sense of humour. I was very lucky to have been recommended them. Lovely people, great lawyers, strong ethos.”
