Landlord remortgage

The person dealing with it would wait a few days after receiving an email then send out a automated reply saying not in the office I will get back to you then that would be another week before replying, I was asked numerous times for things I had already sent, I found the whole experience frustrating and it took forever I had to get my mortgage advisor to chase it up, he was fantastic and if it wasn’t for him I don’t think it would of been completed yet

Shareownership purchase

I highly recommend Ashley. She is very professional and pays close attention to detail. She always makes sure everything is clear before moving forward and won’t complete anything unless she’s confident there won’t be any problems.
She truly supports her clients and always works in their best interest. If something isn’t clear, she asks the right questions to get the full picture. She is also easy to contact and always gives honest, helpful advice. I felt very safe and supported throughout the whole process

Very very upset with emg solicitors. Used them to help with a problem. Bleed my son dry with bills that were unexpected overpriced and never explained.Hidden minimum phone call times 6 min increments charging him for calls from the person we were in dispute with and seemly chatting to them for longer than any of his calls to them .Charging for e mails and separate charge for attachments to said e mail. BEWARE of the hidden costs and poor advice
