Hassle free experience
As a first time buyer it’s hard to gauge what this experience felt like compared to the norm, but was very satisfied with it all the same.

Beating the stamp duty rise
We sold our house at the end of January to first time buyers and were buying a new build. We engaged Jo Martin and asked if we could beat the stamp duty rise on April 1st she could’nt promise but said she would do her best and she did! We completed on 31st March! It should have been 28th March but that wasn’t down to Jo. I found her very easy to deal with and she gave good advice. She even emailed me one Sunday morning about a small issue. She really worked hard to meet our deadline and we will always be grateful to her.

A reliable and professional team
We’ve liaised with Jo on two separate instances and her delivery on both occasions have been to a high standard. She has always been transparent when giving us options and happy to give us advice when needed. Both her and Mandy’s correspondence have been great. They are a reliable team whom we highly recommend.

Jo was professional from start to finish. She explained a lot of things to me as I was way out of my depth. Very knowledgeable, and helpful, nothing was too much trouble, including all my silly questions.
Would highly recommend.

Excellent service throughout the conveyancing process
Jo handled our house sale and purchase with exemplary care, support and timeliness. At every stage in the process, we knew what was happening and why, and really appreciated Jo's clear impartial advice on some trickier issues. We really felt that Jo was acting in our best interests from start to finish

Excellent service from Jo Martin and her assistant Mandy Hinton at the Reading office on the sale of my elderly mother's house. Since neither party was in a chain, exchange and completion happened smoothly within just a couple of weeks. Communication was good and I would certainly recommend Jo and Mandy.

I have bought and sold a number of properties and always use Mandy and her team at Charles Coleman as my solicitors. Their efficiency and overall focus on delivering for clients is second to none and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell property. A first class business.
