The entire team at New Homes Law have been super helpful throughout our entire Mortgage application from day 1. Everyone we spoke to in the team treated us in such a kind and professional manner, giving us sound advice and helping us get the most they could in our situation, in order for us to get the house of our dreams.

He is now having to rectify mistakes made by this firm which is delaying the sale of my property. It is only now
