Mandated Ibby for my recent property purchase, and cannot recommend them enough. Exceptional service from start to finish - Ibby was proactive, thorough, available and helped us navigate through a complicated situation. In the end, while our first purchase fell through because Ibby flagged serious issues in the documents that the sellers were trying to downplay, we completed on a better property on the second go. For us first time buyers that are often clueless about the situation, Ibby made it ridiculously easy to complete in good time. Thank you!

We have recently used Unsworth Rose when selling our property. Hugely impressed with their diligence and professionalism as well as ensuring (as far as one party can) that there were no unnecessary delays. Excellent all round service and would highly recommend.

I mandated Ibby from Unsworth Rose for the purchase of my flat, after having been disappointed by my first solicitor. Mandating Ibby who was already recommended to me by a colleague has been the best decision I could have made.
Ibby has provided me with incredible services throughout the process and has over-exceeded my expectations. He has made himself available at every step of the process, despite being very busy. He was on top of every single element of the process, helped me on some tricky technicalities that could have put the purchase at risk, and always gave me proactive notice

Have used them for conveyancing, where Ibby was mandated for our work. Ibby was ultimate professional and uncovered a few issues that the vendors were trying to sweep under the rug. Can not stop thanking him for his perfect conduct and handling of the situation. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of conveyancing.
