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.

We will certainly be using them again for any future conveyancing needs and would strongly recommend. #RightReasonsRH
