Emma has just completed the purchase of our new Redrow house. Brilliant service from start to finish. Super efficient, everything dealt with so quickly. Always prompt responses to queries and phone calls. By far the best house move experience we’ve had. Highly recommended. Thank you Emma!

Emma was amazing. A true standout from my experience with other solicitors. She answered the phone (sadly, many just don’t!), swiftly turned things around and took a real pragmatic approach to any challenges encountered. I would absolutely use again
