Mr Khan handled the conveyancing of our sale and purchase smoothly with excellent communication throughout. He was a calm presence when there were a few issues in the chain and managed the other solicitor's in the chain and the agents really well. We'd highly recommend.

Buy & selling our house

Unfortunately had to have a locum solicitor during our home selling journey which, wasn’t perfect by any means! On Mr khan return things did improve but we were at a disadvantage as he was working from home, however when we raised some concerns there was a considerable improvement in getting things done. We did have to change the names of the buyers prior to signing contracts but the secretary sorted that out quickly after a call to Mr Khan. Overall our experience was good it finally took 12weeks from our buyer agreeing in principle.

Great Service and Communication

We worked with Clifford Johnson and Co. (Specifically Mr. Horup Khan) to buy our first home. Unfortunately the sale did not go through due to other circumstances but our experience working with Mr. Khan was excellent. Really prompt same day communication with clear explanations of the processes and situation. Also the rest of the team at Clifford Johnson were always helpful when we needed them. Would highly recommend

Thank you Horup Khan

I’d like to say a big thank you to Horup Khan. He went the extra mile to get my purchase over the line which had several hurdles. He was easy to contact with thorough protocol.

Jared is simply fantastic. He was very professional, would answer questions I had without issue and would respond even out of hours when I got an auto responder that he wasn't available. Jared put in 100% effort and I got a result that I'm more than happy with, it felt like nothing was too small for him to be willing to take on.

He recommend a barrister who was equally as brilliant and even he commented on how much work Jared had put in to make his job easier.

Would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a solicitor

Chris Furbey went above and beyond to get my sale through. He was incredibly diligent looking at all the details provided to him and ensuring that issues with the leasehold were properly resolved and safeguarding me for the future when I come to sell on! Thanks team
