There patience abounds

Feels like one of the longest and most complex house sales ever, but Ian Groome and his succesor Sarah-Jane Featherstone steered us through it with consummate skill, professionalism and patience.
Would thoroughly recommend Bowsers to anybody.

Wring a Will

I met Mr Choudhury on two occasions with additional telephone conversations to confirm changes I had thought about. I was listened to and the final Will reflected my wishes.

Estate settlement

My only complaint would be the extraordinary amount of time that the process took to complete, but this could possibly be the legal system in general.

First time home buyer

What an amazing experience! First time purchase can be very stressful. But my solicitor Sarah-Jane has been more than helpful and kind throughout the whole process. Kept me up to date and re-assured. Open to my many questions and even helped us complete purchase within 3 months over the very busy Christmas period. Highly recommend.
