Website says "We deal with most aspects of purchases, including new builds and shared ownership." But was told on the phone they don't deal with new builds, so that should probably be updated

I recently used Rachael Finnegan in conveyancing for both a sale and purchase. Having been a previous client of the firm 4 years ago with an extremely positive view then it was a no-brainer to return. I can say that Rachael and the team were outstanding throughout the process and went above and beyond to ensure that I moved before Christmas. Thanks to all the team and keep up the great work!

My second experience with Fiona Bruce was the best yet. A special mention to Marguerite who despite suffering from COVID throughout my purchase, remained consistent and hardworking with excellent communication. Thank you for all your help!

We would highly recommend Fiona Bruce solicitors. We were represented by Philip Porter for a child arrangements order. He is highly experienced and very professional. He always responded to us promptly and was able to apply his knowledge and expertise to our case giving us the best possible outcome. The team at Fiona Bruce work collaboratively together and nothing was too much trouble.

The past nine months have seen us sell and buy a property with Fiona Bruce Solicitors. Marguerite Tyler has been absolutely outstanding and has dealt with us in an extremely professional manner. We could not have asked for a better solicitor to have represented us through some pretty turbulent times. Thank you to everyone at Fiona Bruce but especially Marguerite.

As first time buyers, we recently used Fiona Bruce Solicitors for our house purchase. We couldn't be happier with the incredible standard of serviced we received. Our solicitor Jess was professional, helpful and most importantly to us, communicative through the whole process. Our case became a little complicated and Jess took great care to ensure we were fully informed and kept us up to date with developments. Highly recommend!
