Used Chris Weeks at Bryan & Mercer for our house sale/purchase. Due to the stamp duty holiday it was a particularly busy time for all solicitors dealing with conveyancing. Despite this, all my inquiries were dealt with professionally and promptly. Will be using their services again in the near future.

I have had recent dealings with Socratis Komodromos, who has dealt with a few of our clients recently and despite the huge volume of transactions being carried out during the Stamp Duty Holiday period, he was extremely proactive, communicative and helpful. If you are looking for a local conveyancer I can recommend Socratis and look forward to dealing with him again very soon.

We used Bryan & Mercer conveyancing services recently to sell a property. This was my first experience of selling a house and Socratis was able to explain simply the details of the process. He was very patient throughout and put simply just went 'the extra mile' at what must have been a time of very high demand. I always felt that he had time to talk to me no matter how trivial (it probably was to him) the question I asked. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Socratis at Bryan & Mercer!
