Beverley Winick is excellent - the stamp duty holiday has put a massive pressure on everyone trying to get purchases and sales through and I and my family gave her a sale and three purchases all in a short space of time to get across the line in the time limit - and she did it! Thank you!

We used NMD Law for our recent house move. Their attention to detail, accessibility and professional advice was excellent. Suzanne and Dawn worked seamlessly in their job share and did not miss a beat. We can not thank them enough.

NMD have just completed the sale of my house and the purchase of a Flat. I found both Suzanne and Dawn professional, responsive and helpful throughout. I rate them highly and have already recommended to friends and family.

Poor, slow service, usually only providing updates on Friday afternoons. Very pompous attitude, they really make you feel like you are getting in the way of more important things that they have to to. Avoid.

Critical:Responsiveness
This company doesn't seem very customer focused. I have really tried to communicate with them but it is very one way. Even if a company is busy, it is polite to respond with something! Avoid if you need a proactive service.
