My partner and I had a great experience working with the team, they made the whole process of buying our first home easy and stress free. They were always so patient and willing to explain everything in depth for our own understanding. I felt they were always available to talk and help at any time I needed. The price was not bad and only ended up being a bit more than originally quoted, which was absolutely fair with the amount of effort and work they put in for us. We were so grateful to have had their support and would absolutely recommend this team! Thank you.
Claire from VKA is wonderful. She worked with me to give me a document I could use in my business for a range of purposes. She made sure she understood my needs and definitely delivered. Thanks again!
Very impressed. Friendly. Professional. Good value. Excellent strategic solutions.
The whole process of conveyancing was very smooth and professional. They have excellent domain knowledge and are up to date with current conveyancing environment. Timely manner of service and good communication was the key in my dealings with them.
I have dealt with van Kempen & Associates for property conveyancing twice in the past year and on both occasions I have been extremely happy with the service. Van Kempen are professional, approachable, affordable and dedicated. Simon and Claire had all the relevant information at their finger tips. They made buying a property easy.
Had a number of issues purchasing my house (all bank related) and the office went above and beyond to solve them all.
Comprehensive advice and extremely professional conveyancing services. Highly recommend!
Simon was great, providing comprehensive advice and always readily available to answer any of our questions. Fair price and very professional service. I highly recommend.
Claire was very knowledgeable and helpful with all our legal needs. Open about pricing prior to service and there were no surprises at the end. Would highly recommend and use for any of our future legal needs.
We searched Google for a solisitor and went ahead with VKA after reading their reviews and because they looked like a nice family business. We were very impressed Simon was prompt, very flexible, professional, kind and friendly. He helped us with a Intergenerational Farm Transfer. Also ended a partnership and made a loan agreement. He gave us an upfront cost and stuck to it. Not itemising costs for every phone call and email like some. He made the whole process very pleasant. Will defiantly use again.
Simon from van Kempen and Associates is extremely approachable, professional and efficient. Knowing that we are very new to investing, he patiently explained legal terminologies to us and always kept us in the loop and well informed. Thank you Simon and team. We can't recommend you highly enough!
We found van Kempen and associates extremely efficient and professional with the purchasing of our home. I would not hesitate to use them again. On the North Coast they are my preferred legal representatives. They represent confidence and competence in their undertakings.
We recently acquired a unit in NSW while living in Central Queensland. Simon was extremely helpful dealing with the issues that we encountered with the different state government rules and regulations. The service provided was very professional yet very personalised.
We recently had the pleasure in dealing van Kempen and Associates. We cannot recommend them highly enough. After purchasing an investment property in Queensland, and living in NSW, we needed someone that could make the process as easy as possible. From our initial conversations with Simon right through to the final exchange for the property, we always felt well informed. Simon kept us up to date every step of the way and made sure we had all the boxes ticked. Simon was always available to answer any questions we had and made us feel comfortable asking about even the simple things. Buying a property is a large investment and it was such a pleasure to have Simon assist us with the process. If we ever need a Solicitor again, we will definitely call van Kempen & Associates. A big thanks to you all.
