No phone line when I was using their conveyance services earlier this year. Everything was done by emails. Unapproachable, in my opinion rude, cold and unprofessional.

I would highly recommend Janet Soliman, start to finish of my purchase and sale during lockdown was very challenging, this lady and her pa Paula were totally amazing and pushed on very quickly and thoroughly and with a high level of professionalism. Can not thank them enough.

Highly recommended for conveyancing. Andrew provided extremely good communications throughout despite what turned out to be a long drawn out complicated transaction. Always proactive and very forthcoming with updates. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone and they will most definitely be getting my future business.

Extremely professional, reliable, hard working, friendly & customer goal focused company. Lots of difficult hoops had to be jumped through to sell our house & buy our dream one. The sale fell through several times due to chain collapse but at each point was quickly picked up again by Andrew Brotherton who was always at the end of the phone to answer any questions. Confident & correct clear instruction from Andrew was always given. Cannot recommend highly enough! Thank you Andrew Brotherton !!
