Sorry I can not recommend this company Catherine Robson dealt with my mums estate . To begin with I was very happy with the company. They sent me the bill and I was happy . On the final phone call Catherine was rude and then added more on to the bill . I have put a complaint in but we just kept going round in circles and now I do not want to deal with them anymore

I have a great experience using SA LAW . I did two transactions. First sellin of my freehold flat in Watford and then purchasing another property in Birmingham
It was very complex transaction for selling of the flat but Mr John Yalden was very experienced , always offering me advice and kept me up to date until completion. For the purchase of the property Ms Priya Lakhani was very professional,kept me up to date until completion and made things go smoothly
We would definitely used SA LAW In future and we would recommend to our family and friends
