Kate is a star! We are so grateful to have had her assisting us in our first property purchase. It was a lengthy process but we know Kate tried to make it as smooth and stress-free as possible and we truly appreciated all her insights and recommendations. We will definitely be in touch in the future should we need any other legal services.

Just an idea but could you perhaps offer an insurance product which could cover the legal fees in case a sale falls through after verbally agreeing a sale but before exchange when the buyer just changes their mind?

My husband and I have been with Field Seymour Parkes since the 1970s. Mr Pat Daley was our first solicitor - a lovely man. After all these years, although staff have come and gone, I still believe that FSP is one of the best in Reading. Keep up the good work.
