Report
We went to Amanda Shaw based on a recommendation of a relative. We had problems with our acting solicitors and decided to use her for our onward purchase. We are so pleased we did as she took all the stress out of buying a house. We wish we could have done for our sale as well but we were too far in at that point. Every step we were informed via an email from her team which contained all the information we needed as well as a covering letter to explain in more detail. This was then followed up by a phone call. It has been such a huge difference to the other Law firm we have been using, the advise

We have used Amanda Shaw's services for separate sale and purchases of properties. Their level of professionalism, efficiency and competency are exceptional. They go above and beyond to provide a friendly, helpful and rigorous service. When you mention their name to estate agents, they smile and sigh with relief having great confidence in them. We would recommend them to anyone!

Report
Purchased a house very recently. From day 1, Harriett was attentive, responsive and eager to get things done quickly. Time estimate that they quoted was spot on (overran on the other end slightly, but that couldn't be helped) and could've possibly been done quicker if the sellers solicitors were just as proactive. The fees are reasonable too. Highly recommended.
