Could not fault the process

5

I�m writing regarding the sale of Hatt Farm in September 2020, with the conveyance done by Austin Blackburn. I could not fault how Austin handled the sale. He was always quick to reply on any query I had, explained issues very clearly, was courteous and often with a sense of humour! All conveyancers should follow his example! Very happy! I have used Nash and Co for some years now. David Cornelius organised our Wills , Julia�Ludlow has done some conveyancing for me, and is currently doing one for my daughter and son in law, so have every confidence in the firm and� those who work in it, and will continue to instruct the firm for other legal matters in the future.

Great experience

5

RSD Recruitment was looking to let a commercial property within Plymouth City Centre or near to it. Once we found the right location & office we were recommended to use�Austin Blackburn�at Nash & Co to formalise & engage our lease.��I am so pleased we did as not everything was straight forward as it was a sub let. Austin however was there every step of the way, advising, meeting us & doing everything within his power to ensure we could move in on our target date, which was a challenge to say the least!�We found Nash & Co polite, easy to deal with & gave such honest advice for a fair price. We @ RSD Recruitment wouldn�t hesitate to use Austin or Nash & Co again for any of our up & coming legal work. Without them I am sure we would have missed our target date which would of cost us a lot of money and lost revenue. Thanks to Austin & the team for a great experience at a tough time.
