John Porter advised me on a contract regarding the sale of my business, providing constructive and vital legal information. He also provided the conveyancing for the sale of the office. On both accounts he was very professional and responsive. His final invoice was exactly as stated on the initial quote, which was very reasonable. I would have no hesitation in referring John and his firm.

Great experience and would thoroughly recommend.
Emma was so efficient and reliable requesting the searches and was very reassuring regarding timescales and held everything together during a change in staffing.
Emily hit the ground running following the departure of our initial solicitor. Emily arranged an appointment immediately and was fully prepared with all the paperwork.
Emily then went above and beyond when the banks error caused a delay in exchanging, coming up with a temporary contract so we could stay in the property over the weekend.
Great, friendly service with approachable and helpful

My conveyancer was Emily Lamb, she was absolutely fabulous - keep us up to date, clear communication, approachable, efficient. We had to move by a set deadline and she went out of her way to move things along - these things are never guaranteed but it was a huge relief to know Emily was pulling every stop to make this happen. Could not recommend her enough.
