Dogged determination

Claire for Stantons managed to get the sale of a terraced property needing plenty of work across the line in the face of seemingly never-ending hurdles. She worked hard to maintain momentum, pressure where required and kept me informed. I never felt l was floundering due to legal terminology and had faith in her management of the sale, which was borne out by the result. Exchanged and completed on the same day.
Now on to the next property….

Excellent Power of Attorney Service

We needed to complete full powers of attorney having been considerably let down by a number of other firms who operated at distance, slowly and without keeping in touch.
Amy was recommended to us and was very professional and operated quickly and efficiently, maintaining close contact throughout. Within a week we had gone through the process (fully explained throughout) and had reviewed and signed the documents. A great service from Amy which I have given full marks.
