Used this company for years. Adam Ledger no longer works here. This firm does not inflate its prices to pay estate agents.

Report
Spoke to Adam in person and he gave me a price to do a job. I requested the paperwork and he said they were in Archive and he will charge me money to retrieve this information. So when I requested for the archive information. He did't get back to me. I requested a refund and he just didn't reply to my emails. Just a stress especially when you trust solicitors with your matters. Keep away from this scammer, just a virus. Waste of money.
