Paid 120 for 1 hour consultation... I was booked to see Tracy.... Unfortunately she was the only solicitor on duty at the office that day and was late for my appointment by 15 mins so my appointment overun. I do believe in a face-to-face consultation where possible ( all covid conditions were adhered to) and I was very glad I did , as she was professional, informative and likeable.... And should I need her services I wouldn't hesitate to employ her .

I would never use this company again, and I would strongly advise others not to do so either. The whole process is SO SLOW!! They don't return calls, messages, texts or emails, and you have to constantly and persistently badger them to get anything done. Dreadful from start to finish, never again..

Ellis and Emma did an incredible job on a tricky London property transaction during a difficult time, considering the pandemic this year. They were both very professional, patient, and responsive and I am eternally grateful for them seeing the sale/purchase over the line after many stumbling blocks. I trust their advice and care implicitly and highly recommend their work.
