Excellent Service, friendly and professional! Made our move as smooth as could be! Not a corporate conveyor belt like most firms but a small family run firm which actually made the moving process a pleasant experience instead of an absolute nightmare!

Slow slow slow..... Unless you are a tortoise don't use this firm for your conveyancing. It's like pulling teeth. We do NOT recommend

Report
Unfortunately we were disappointed with their conveyancing services despite being recommended. We didnt have a straightforward sale but found communication lacking. It was very hard to speak to someone via phone (us and our estate agents) and our perception was that they were reactive rather than proactive. To receive an email from them informing us our buyers had pulled out after 4 months felt very impersonal and cold.
