Professional and informative.

They kept us informed, answered queries promptly. At one point received updates about 10pm! Everything was clear, they made sure we had all our ducks in a row before I had to go to Canada for a couple of weeks. When we went into the office staff were well informed and helpful. They made sure that my husband was confident about who was being paid and the correct account to pay into (I was away and he is not as confident with banking apps.) All in all a great service.

I am an estate agent and was involved in what should have been a straightforward purchase by a first time buyer, buying an empty property. C W Booth were acting for the sellers and the property was empty. In turned out to be a tad more complicated due to a notice place on the property. Also the buyers solicitors were seriously dreadful (personally I would avoid Claire at Michael Cook at all costs). Thankfully we got fantastic comms from Robert Willoughby and those comms helped in exposing the buyers sols for telling untruths/being inept. So thank you Robert (and Louisa) for providing updates on a regular basis and helping get the transaction finally over the line.
