I have just completed my house purchase with Burroughs and I cannot recommend them enough! They have been swift and professional in all matters, keeping me fully informed and up to date at all stages of the process. Sue Tuffley and Elizabeth Lynott-Jones have been an absolute dream team and a pleasure to work with.

Very poor experience with toby after instructing him to represent me with a legal matter a year ago. Had difficulty arranging a time with cancellations/ incompatible schedules between all 3 parties. Which is fine, this happens. However was surprised to see him message on my behalf saying I am "burying my head in the sand" and suggesting tougher action to be taken. A professional lawyer or solicitor would contact the client first, confirm the reasons why dates could not be arranged before jumping to conclusion and attacking his own client, instead of actually representing their best interests.
