Hicks Oakley Chessell Williams, Lawyers & Notary, Melbourne

Settlement on our property went very smoothly and all information was requested early which made the whole process less stressful.

Ian Davies and Kim Nguyen were responsive, attentive and professional at all times acting on our behalf in relation to a property transaction. An easy process that gave us confidence we had our best interests looked after at all times and we look forward to working with them again in future.

Great experience with Hicks Oakley Chessell Williams, Ian Davies was a pleasure to deal with and was very efficient.

Ian provided exemplary service. His attention to detail is second to none. Communication was prompt and clear. Ian went above and beyond to ensure my settlement went through without a hitch. I would recommend Ian to anyone wanting to take the plunge into the crippling debt of a mortgage.

Funny place, I was told they don’t provide services to new clients without an appointment and getting an appointment is hard task. Also they don’t provide notary services in CBD office.

Ian Davies was always available to provide sound reassuring advice. He managed all matters expertly.
This was a challenging process with my sister relocating to Perth and no family members in Victoria to supervise the process of the home sale.
Our sincere thanks

Outstanding and Professional Service. Ian has handled multiple property transactions/settlements on behalf of our family. Incredibly efficient and we will continue to keep using the services of Ian Davies and the team of HDME Lawyers.

I found Ian Davies to be extremely helpful and prompt in his replies to my questions and concerns. I have no hesitation in recommending Ian and wish to thank him for his assistance.

I have been very impressed with Hicks Oakley’s professionalism and felt completely at ease knowing I was in good hands. I was always kept informed of each stage of the process regarding the sale and settlement of my house. Highly recommended.

I worked initially with Sarah Lindsey on reviewing contracts and then Ian Davies until settlement. I found them both extremely professional and responsive and felt fully supported and well informed throughout the process. Highly recommend the team here.

We worked with Ian throughout the purchase and settlement of our first home. He is a knowledgeable, approachable solicitor who provided us with much welcomed guidance and advice.

A true professional, Ian was patient and responsive to our questions. He was extremely diligent and kept us well informed throughout the entire process.

I highly recommend the property services of Ian and the wider HOCW team.

We first spoke with Diane on the recommendation of more than a few friends, and right from the start we knew we were in good hands. Diane saw us through the lengthy process of buying off-the-plan, and her advice was always excellent. We finally settled two weeks ago, three years since first contacting Diane with our first enquiry.

Diane will be enjoying a well deserved retirement but leaves our affairs in Jenny’s capable hands. We wish Diane all the very best and thank her for helping us to negotiate the legal jargon of the home-buying process with finesse and ease.

Very happy with HOCW service on the purchase/settlement of our property. Advice was clear and settlement process was done seamlessly.

Diane Mutimer assisted me in property Conveyancing. She was very professional and highlighted all the risk items involved and provided my options. At times, she contacted the other conveyancer and made amends to the contract as needed. It gives a peace of mind knowing Diane had reviewed a document.

Thank you so much Diane for all your assistance with this major chapter of our lives. Thanks Jenny for all your work too. You've both been a good help wrangling the oft confusing world of conveyancing! Great value as well. Take care.

I hired Diane Mutimer, a Legal Executive at Hicks Oakley Chessell Williams, for a recent property purchase. I found Diane to be an outstanding Legal Executive. I highly recommend her services.

I found her to be an excellent communicator. She communicates clearly and quickly via both email and phone. Her explanations are clear and given in a timely fashion. She is quick to respond to emails and easy to reach on the phone. She has excellent manners.

With her decades of experience, she possesses both excellent knowledge of the relevant law and excellent practical skills for dealing effectively with the other party to the transaction.

As for billing, I found her to be clear, honest and reasonable.

I highly recommend her services.

I worked with Diane and Jenny, who were both very helpful to me and the purchase of my first home! They answered my many questions with patience and provided me timely responses!

Diane and the team at HOCW have been exemplary to deal with. From the initial introduction through the details of the properties we've handled through them, they have been professional, generous with time and timely in response to our queries. Could not hesitate to recommend more highly.
