Thank you for the support

I felt well supported and very much appreciated the help and advice I received at a very difficult time. I also am grateful for being listened to and never felt rushed. A friendly atmosphere made all the difference at a time when I was feeling vulnerable.

Living in London and traveling to Hastings where I hoped to buy a property it was very important to me that I could speak with Rory on the days I visited. This was always possible. Rory is also very knowledgeable about Hastings, it's history and infrastructure etc. This helped me to understand potential risks with my purchase and come with solutions..

My solicitors were very timely with time sensitive needs which I was very grateful for. They were also fantastic on communication, I knew what was happening every step of the way. Both were very kind too and I’ll be coming back when I need something in the future. A massive thank you!.
