I couldn't recommend Merritt & Co enough. Claire Stamp has been the conveyancer for the purchase of my first home and has been 100% professional along the way. We ran into some issues due to no fault of mine or this solicitors and they did a brilliant job of keeping me informed and reassured throughout. Quick and effective service.
