Chris managed the sale of my house on Didsbury Road. Throughout the journey Chris always kept me fully updated with progress & even answered emails well into the evening. The bill for his efforts was also great value which is a plus. Thank you Chris, professional & a great communicator.

Exceptional conveyancing services
Chris Furbey completed on our house sale and purchase last week. Throughout the process, Chris was proactive, responsive, and clear in his communication. His expert knowledge and extensive experience ensured things ran smoothly from start to finish, with Chris and colleagues going above and beyond to manage the chain and ensure deadlines were met. We would not hesitate to recommend Chris to others and will certainly use Clifford Johnston & Co’s services as required in future.

Highly recommended
Another excellent, professional service received from Chris Furbey at Clifford Johnston (my second time using this firm). Always prompt responses to queries and emails sent to Chris with clear efficient communication and timely updates throughout the buying/selling process. I have no hesitation in recommending.

First class service, diligent, approachable, goes above & beyond
As a first-time buyer with complex circumstances, we were concerned about the mortgage conveyancing process, particularly given the looming deadline for stamp duty, which wasn't far off for us, as we commenced our process in January. My experience using Chris Furbey was excellent and unrivalled! He made us feel at ease right from the beginning. He was clear, provided timely responses, and was honest with his advice. Even when our first mortgage fell through, it was his professional advice that saved us from entering into a transaction that would have been detrimental to us. We quickly contacted him regarding the second mortgage, and he made us feel safe and well-represented throughout the entire process, even with a looming stamp duty deadline that everyone said was impossible to meet. Chris Furbey and his team made it possible, and he delivered above and beyond. His diligence and straight approach were excellent for our neurodivergent household, and the trust established made us less anxious throughout the process. It is indeed refreshing to meet professionals like yourself. I am spreading the word! "A special thank you for giving my autistic son a safe and quiet home to write his GCSE." He says he would like to thank you in person, and we hope to do that soon. Thank you again for everything!

Fantastic service and incredibly helpful!
I recently used Clifford Johnston to sell a flat and buy a house, after having a positive experience using them when I initially purchased the flat 7 years ago. Chris was absolutely fantastic, he was very knowledgeable and answered any (sometimes !) questions I had which has removed so much stress and worry from the process.
Lots of my friends and family have horror stories of solicitors not responding to them when buying or selling a property. Clifford Johnston were the absolute opposite of this and I'd recommend them to anyone!

House sale and purchase / conveyancing service
We were highly impressed with the attentive service and assured advice from Chris Furbey and the team. There are always a few niggly issues with any property deal, and these were handled efficiently and promptly. I am already speaking to them about another property matter requiring legal services.

Excellent servixe
A huge thank you to Chris Furbey who worked incredibly hard to ensure we met our deadline and helped to secure our forever family home. Chris acted fast and was constantly prompting other solicitors to ensure delays were reduced to a minimum. He constantly checked in and kept us in the loop and we felt reassured and confident throughout the whole process. Thank you, Chris - you’ve been fantastic!

Best solicitors out there
I've relied on Chris Furbey for the best part of a decade, during which he has overseen multiple property transactions on my behalf. He is efficient, highly responsive, and always on the ball. I couldn't imagine using another solicitor!

Third time using Chris Furbey as my solicitor 5*
This is my third time using Chris as my conveyancing solicitor and wouldn't trust anyone else. We've never met in person (so don't be put off if you're not local). Chris is very responsive by email and you can contact him direct. 100% would recommend to friends and family and I won't use anyone else in the future.

Rapid service and excellent communication
We were recommended Chris from a friend who had used the firm and we could not be happier with the service we received. Chris was extremely responsive and replied to emails/ queries immediately. He also explained things to us clearly and provided regular updates. We were expecting twins at the time and emphasised the need to move as quickly as possible which Chris responded to by progressing both the sale and purchase as soon as he could. We couldn’t recommend him more.
