Lauren Ainsley

Myself and my family are immensely grateful to Lauren Ainsley of Herrington Carmichael Solicitors for overseeing the successful and timely completion of the purchase of a high value-land in Windsor, Berkshire for our new self-build family home. Lauren was exceptionally diligent and reassuring throughout the whole conveyancing process. Her rare levels of professionalism and specialist experience were so nice and clear to appreciate, as she promptly dealt with every single query/request put forward by the seller’s solicitors.

– Dr. Abid Adekunte, Deep Foundations Specialists Ltd

Just a few lines to say thank you for your prompt service. I must believe you are from a new brand of solicitors, those who believe in responding to your clients quickly and without drama, which I must say has impressed me and made my life a lot less stressful. As you have been aware, my SIPP legal team were very slow, frustrating and stressful, not what I expected from them in the hi-tech communication world we now live in, whereas you and your team were pro-active in responding to all we asked of you. I hope that other solicitors follow your example, the kind of service you have provided is the future, well done. My thanks also to your team.

Sand Martins Golf Club have recently completed the successful acquisition of a parcel of land with the assistance of Herrington Carmichael and in particular, solicitor Lauren Ainsley.

We found working with Lauren a pleasure. During the entire process Lauren was thorough, informative, diligent and very professional as she acted on our behalf. It was a pleasure working with Lauren and we would highly recommend her services.

– Matthew Short, General Manager of Sand Martins Golf Club

Throughout our family’s dealings with Lauren Ainsley, she has shown great professionalism. In achieving a successful promotion agreement for us, her attention to detail in a complicated negotiation has been exemplary and, above all, inspired great confidence. In addition, her friendliness, approachability and communication skills have enabled us to understand clearly every stage of the process.

I just want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for all the hard work you and your team at Herrington & Carmichael have carried out on behalf of the company with our latest, and most challenging development project. Despite several setbacks, and the usual perplexing purchasers, you have supported us exceedingly well with your calm, pragmatic, very professional approach. It is a great comfort to know that whatever property related issues arise for our firm in the future, you are going to be there to offer wise counsel, and set out a pathway to a successful conclusion for all parties involved. Thanks once again for dealing with everything so courteously and efficiently, and I can honestly say that I would unhesitatingly recommend you to anyone with property related matters.

– M. Bennett, Clinton Properties Limited

Westmede has worked with Lauren Ainsley for the past two years in connection with its property transaction requirements and related advice issues. She is highly professional, responsive, and easy to liaise with. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lauren and her team at Herrington Carmichael

– Westmede Properties

Nobody thought that when we started the buying process that Covid-19 would strike. Herrington Carmichael and particularly yourself, were so on top of things that it was totally transparent to us that you were working from home. My calls to the office number came straight through to you, emails were responded to immediately, your report on title was in plain English. Most importantly to us, you gave us peace of mind that even with Covid at its peak, we would still be completing our purchase on time.

– William Brand

I feel compelled, to place on record, my sincere thanks and appreciation for the high quality and outstanding service I have received through your Offices in respect of recent sales. It is most refreshing, in this day and age, for someone to be consistently working on your behalf, rather than, only when being chased, by the Client to do so. Your thoughtful consideration, advice, attention to detail and reassurances, particularly when difficulties arose, in finding solutions, were totally commendable

– Christopher Wren Developments

We cannot recommend HC highly enough – a challenging property sale which commenced in September 2019. Due to the complexity of the set up of the property, an asset in an off-shore account set up within a Trust with minimum paperwork to hand, HC took on the challenge of assisting us with the sale. Even after the first potential purchasers pulled out followed by three lockdowns, HC stayed on board with us and saw the property sale through to completion 17 months later. A big thank you to Lauren Purdey who remained positive throughout and kept us muddling on when we thought there was no end in sight.

– Deramona Limited

I wanted to share with you a huge thank you for your wonderful support. Our house sale and purchase was a very stressful situation due to the issues we faced, but having you involved in the process made it so much easier and I am not sure we would have got here without you. Your attention to detail, prompt responses and actions on behalf of your clients is incredible. Finding a solicitor that acts on your behalf as well as you did is very rare – and we cannot thank you enough! The various contacts we spoke through – i.e the different estate agents who we were selling and buying through also shared the feedback on how great you have been – so the recognition extends past us all well…

We really cannot thank you enough, and will be recommending you in the future.

– Residential Property Client

Whilst completing a land purchase I found the team at Herrington Carmichael to be friendly, knowledgeable and professional. It was a delight to work with Lauren in particular, who was proactive and kept me fully informed. Enquiries were responded to immediately and it was great to see the other side being chased up so that we could push the deal through. Fantastic!

– Concept Design & Build

Lauren acted for us on a S106 agreement, on an easement with the local landowner and on the sale of our rear garden for development. All three matters had complications but Lauren guided us through these to successful conclusions. It was a pleasure having Lauren working for us and we have no hesitation in recommending her.

– Patrick

Lauren was recommended to me and I would gladly recommend her to others. Always a pleasure to talk to, Lauren has incisive drafting ability, solid judgement and the perseverance to conclude contracts

– Jonathan Beach, Director Magna Asset Management Limited

Lauren is always quick to get back to you, very on the ball and efficient in all ways as well as being a pleasure to deal with. I would have no hesitation in asking her to act for me again.

– Patrick Bancroft, MD at Bancroft Developments Limited

I have had the pleasure of using the services of Herrington and Carmichael in the past and recently instructed Lauren Purdey on my Mother’s sale. The service and attention to detail I received was excellent. I would highly recommend them and have already done so to friends and family

– Gary Brook

We just want to thank you for your work on this sale. You’ve been fantastic throughout, always responding quickly, keeping us informed and helping us out when we were unsure about something. We’ll be in touch when we buy/sell again!

– Michelle Gautier

Having had a poor experience with my two previous solicitor firms, I found my experience with Lauren Purdey to be a complete breath of fresh air. She provided timely and effective communication, turned things around incredibly speedily whenever the ball was in her court (we were on a tight deadline), gave clear advice and, probably the biggest one for me…I could actually reach her on the phone!

– Real Estate Client
