Client testimonials
Nothing speaks louder than the experiences of those we've helped. Here’s what our clients have to say about working with Desiree and the service they received.
A stress-free experience again
This is the second time I have used Leigh Duncan and once again the service was outstanding. Samantha was lovely, friendly and helpful, while Roz was brilliantly efficient throughout. The whole team was professional, supportive and made the process completely stress-free. When asked what could have been improved, my answer was simple: nothing. They were perfect.

Professional and responsive
Leigh Duncan provided a professional service throughout the conveyancing process. The advice was concise, informative, responsive and exactly what I was hoping for. Janine was excellent throughout, and when Roz stepped in towards the end of the transaction, the high standard of service continued.

The best Solicitors in the chain
We came to Leigh Duncan through a recommendation from family, who had themselves been recommended by friends, and it's easy to see why. Janine and Roz were fantastic, guiding us through every stage of the conveyancing process from offer to completion. Desiree and Sam were also incredibly helpful throughout.

Reassuring from start to finish
I often hear people complain that their solicitor never responds, but that was never the case with Leigh Duncan. Janine was efficient, easy to speak to and always quick to reply whenever I needed advice or an update. Sam was also excellent throughout. The service was professional and responsive, and I would happily recommend the firm.
