Report
I first dealt with Gemma at Whiskers last year on a particularly difficult sale. Over the course of the last 12 months, Gemma has dealt with a number of sales for our clients and has been nothing short of exceptional. Fantastic with communication and explanation of legal jargon. Her knowledge is exceptional and I could not recommend highly enough. If you are looking for a residential solicitor she is second to none!

We used whiskers for sale and purchase and Gemma has been amazing. She was super on the case even though literally everyone has been trying to move during June.

Gemma Ball is an absolute star. She is very knowledgeable, efficent and just a pleasure to work with. Without Gemma, I very much doubt the sale of my flat would of gone through before the stamp duty holiday freeze ended. Thanks so much Gemma!

Gemma Ball at Whiskers - highly recommended. 5*
I cant begin to thank Gemma enough for how efficiently she managed this process for us. The service was faultless throughout. She was always proactive and responsive, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. If all conveyancing solicitors were as efficient and pleasant as her, the process of moving house would be a painless one.
Gemma is highly recommended.
