High Regard for our Solicitor
We have dealt with Mr Willoughby for some thirty years now - in selling and purchasing property. It is always a pleasure to meet him again. The main satisfaction is in dealing with the same person throughout this time, and we hope to continue to do so.

Great Service - would 100% recommend
We used CW Booths to handle the sale and purchase of our new house as they came recommended by our estate agents and they did not disappoint. The process was smooth and we were kept up to date along the way. Our solicitor Robert was on hand to answer our queries and even during his annual leave our case was dealt with by a colleague to ensure everything kept moving forward. Pricing is fair and there were no hidden fees at the end which you so often hear about with other firms.
I would not hesitate to use CW Booths again and will recommend them to family and friends in the future.
