We can thoroughly recommend the conveyancing services at this branch. Zoe Parkinson was very responsive and helped make the sale of our house go through as smoothly as possible.

I would definitely recommend Carvill & Johnson, Zoe Parkinson has recently acted for me in the purchase of a property. Zoe was very professional and responded very quickly to any queries I had, she also completed my transaction under time constraints and pressure due to the Stamp Duty deadline. Highly Recommend, thank you Zoe and your team I look forward to you working with you again in the future.

We employed them to purchase our first home, we were assigned to Farwa she was amazing, however she left the firm 3 weeks before completion. Her replacement Zoe, was very unresponsive, not responding to emails or telephone, considering that she was just supposed to keep us updated with the final steps, and considering that Farwa the prevoius solicitor completed the transaction 95% of the way, her service was not up to Farwa's
standard.
standard.
