First rate service as usual
Initially unsure about internet conveyancing but later found the personal touch still remained. Special thanks to Stephen Coates and Sarah in the Trust team and Mark Walton and Becky in the conveyancing team. After about 40 years of going to Taylor Bracewell for any legal questions I am more than happy to continue to do so.
