Report
I have used their services several times in the purchase/sale of properties and I am very satisfied with the prompt and thorough communication. Some aspects of the transactions have been complex, and the advice given by the solicitors at Lu Oliphant has always been useful and easy to understand. I would highly recommend them.

Good and thorough service from Mr Lu and also his partner Mei. Clear explanation and plan of action. Initial contact through Fiona who has an excellent command of written communication. Later work was followed up by Jonathan as former was in study leave. Again was very professional and every thing was done on time . Service charges also reasonable.
