I wanted to leave this review for Fiona at VWV in Watford. She was simply amazing, we managed to sell a leasehold flat and buy a house in 6 weeks and beat the stamp duty deadline by a matter of 1 day.
Fiona was under continuous pressure but she kept her cool and got us over the line saving us a lot of money in additional stamp duty fees if we hadn't of hit the deadline.
Fiona is efficient, professional and lovely to deal with and I will strongly be recommending her specifically to anyone I know buying a property. I really felt Fiona went above her call of duty to help us! Thank you so much

Beware of this firm, their professionals believe in not informing you well & on time, until you Chase them to receive bill having excessive charges. Their solicitor was late and charged me for the time even for the duration he was late. You will be charged to return your documents submitted to them, as well you will be charged for phone call to agree meeting point for court appearance.

In the discussions I have found their service provider was mainly interested
