House sale

The app is a great idea but it wasn’t updated so it wasn’t actually helpful in allowing me to track the progress of my sale. I’m not actually sure how much the solicitor assigned to me actually did because, other than a couple of emails from him, most of the work seemed to be done by Olivia Thawley and Leanne Bridgewater) who were effective once I chased things up.

Happy Ending

We had a great deal of patient support from the team. We were in a long complicated chain which at times felt it might all collapse. Without the teams knowledge & help it would have been even more stressful.
