House Purchase
We have yet again had fantastic service from Chris Furbey. Our house purchase needed to go through at speed due to a new build being involved. He clearly explained the process to us and answered questions we had throughout. Chris was very quick at getting the process started, kept us informed throughout and responded quickly to all communications from us, the estate agents and other parties. Chris answered his phone when we called him or got back to us quickly if he was not available. The estate agent we were working with said that they wish they could always work with Chris as he was so easy to deal with. We will definitely use Chris for conveyancing work in the future.

Great Communication, Impeccable Service, Positive Outcome
I used Clifford Johnston & Co when selling a Family property as part of an Executor estate. I read online reviews and positive comments regarding them and reached out to them and a number of other Solicitors in advance to check pricing and related details. From the outset Clifford Johnston & Co were quick to respond, clear and concise communication and gave me the confidence to want to trust them in dealing with my affairs. Their pricing was competitive and in line with my expectations. Once the process started Chris Furbey was "on it", providing all the required documentation, clear in terms of what to expect and when, and also prepared to chase and add pressure when required. By comparison the selling agents, Buyers Solicitor were poor, slow and challenging. Chris's approach to dealing with these matters efficiently and with the required level of detail overcame these obstacles and agent related delays and gave the process the necessary traction. The majority of the communication and interaction were done online with the occasional call. This made the process easy to fit around a busy life and meant that even out of hours progress was being made and the sales process was advancing. Completing many pages of sales related documents online simplified the process and enabled faster progress. On completion the sale funds excluding all expenses were transferred very promptly, this included settling the estate agent commission which was one less responsibility and again meant the entire process was seamless, a really simple but nice touch. When I come to sell/buy another property I will definitely use Chris and Clifford Johnston & Co again without hesitation and would be happy to recommend them.

Chris Furbey provides excellent service
This is the second time I have used Chris, he has helped sell and buy a property. Both times his work has been exceptional. He kept us updated and provided sound advice. All communication was straight to the point. Emails would be answered extremely promptly, even outside of office hours. I would 100% recommend and would have no doubt that he is the best solicitor in his field.

Excellent service
Chris Furbey, who dealt with a house sale in my behalf, was efficient and dedicated. Without his work to secure completion before a deadline I would have had to start again with sale! He put in much extra work to get the sale through. Definitely a firm I would recommend.

Great experience
Chris Furbey was our solicitor during a protracted and difficult buy and sell. Chris’s help and advice was second to none, he was always on hand to speak to, visit or respond to emails. He always responded promptly and usually by return. He made a very stressful situation bearable. He was a pleasure to deal with and would definitely recommend his services. We have nothing but praise and thanks for all the help and support provided by Chris.
