Report
Oliver Joseph is great for conveyancing. Always gets straight back to you. He has dealt with various purchases and sales professionally and communicatively. Hence I made an appointment with the estate and wills planner who's manner was abrupt and cold, and left me feeling very upset over s sensitive matter regarding my very poorly mother. I'm so disappointed and have lost the trust of the whole company. Such a shame. I travelled over an hour to the appointment and felt the solicitor in question couldn't get rid of us fast enough. Ditto, is all I can say!
