Jake with Solicitor Lina

Lina was incredible from start to finish and in-between the court case. Lina was reassuring throughout the entire process keeping me calm and explaining all of my options and even gave her own professional advise. Hopefully I never find myself in this position again, however I would call upon this firm and specifically ask for Lina herself. Thanks again.

Excellent, Stress-Free Conveyancing for First-Time Buyer

As a first-time buyer, I had many questions and uncertainties, but my solicitor made the entire process smooth and reassuring from start to finish. Communication was clear, timely, and professional throughout. Every stage from reviewing the contract to exchanging and completing was handled efficiently and with great attention to detail.

I particularly appreciated how they guided me through key legal documents and were always available to explain next steps. Their proactive updates helped reduce stress during what could have been an overwhelming experience.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone purchasing a property, especially first-time buyers. First-class service.

I couldn't be happier with the service I received during the purchase of my flat. David was absolutely amazing, professional, efficient, and always quick to respond to any questions I had. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and I felt suported every step of the way. I highly recommend him and the firm for anyone looking for a reliable and responsive solicitor.

Reliable, quick responding, helpful end to end experience

Really pleased with the experience I had with Clifford Johnston and with David Oldham. He replied straight away, cared about helping me through the process, was very straight forward to deal with, and supported me in the process of having to change the house I purchased.

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 wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Chris to others and will certainly use Clifford Johnston & Co’s services as required in future.
