Leah dealt with our house purchase recently and was accessible, knowledgeable, responsive - everything you want from a conveyancer. We were very impressed with the service and plan to use the firm again when we sell.

5 stars has to be exceptional. Our interests were looked after throughout the process and acted upon professionally, however, communication could have been better. Sometimes we called to ask for an update and the receptionist said our conveyancer would call back. I didn't expect to have call a second time to chase. Overall good
