    Vernon carried out the conveyancing of our house purchase. This was not a strightforward transaction and there were many hurdles and complications along the way. Vernon provided excellent advice and support thoughout, went above and beyond when there were issues and always responded quickly when needed. His extensive knowledge and experience means he is the right person to have on your side, particularly when things are more complicated.

    Vernon and his team were beyond amazing dealing with my house sale and purchase. I was kept regularly up to date with the progress and they were always quick to respond to me. I was in a chain of five houses and without Vernon’s persistence and communication it would have taken a lot longer or fallen apart. I was given great advice at every stage in the process and always felt they knew and understood every detail of my case. This experience far exceeded my expectations. Thank you

    What an enormous pleasure and privilege it has been to have the expertise and guidance of Vernon Clarke at Tozers. Absolutely stellar conveyancing services from start to finish. Ours was a complex divorce sale, asset split, and onward purchase, rolled into one. Vernon handled the process beautifully. He’s a legal eagle and spirit guide all in one and made, what should have been one of life’s most stressful experiences, an absolutely fantastic one. Always available to offer his expert advice, knowledge, and compassion, Vernon, alongside his dynamic duo Laura and Michelle, is a dream to work with. I am indebted to him and his fabulous team. Thank you, from my heart.
