I had the pleasure to work with Jim and Jeremy, an extremely professional pair of solicitors in which took upon a difficult challenge. I am incredibly grateful for how hard they worked for me, the results were better than expected. This is Thankyou to their knowledge and organisation- which in hindsight relieved me throughout my case. Also a huge mention to Samantha for being available and communicating well with me throughout.

Raquel's experience...

I would like to express my appreciation for the excellent service I received throughout the process of purchasing two properties. I was very happy with the way everything was handled.

You were professional and thorough, ensuring that all payments and documents were in order, which gave me confidence and peace of mind during what can often be a stressful time. Your attention to detail and consistent communication were very much appreciated.

The only point I would mention for improvement is that I would have appreciated some support or guidance in arranging the tax payments related to the property sales. That aside, the overall service was excellent.

Thank you again for your hard work and dedication.

Kind regards,

Generally speaking great service, friendly people. Good value. The only thing I'm not sure on is there was clearly some communications issues between sides but don't know who's side that was. All round happy to use again!
