Fantastic service and incredibly helpful!

I recently used Clifford Johnston to sell a flat and buy a house, after having a positive experience using them when I initially purchased the flat 7 years ago. Chris was absolutely fantastic, he was very knowledgeable and answered any (sometimes !) questions I had which has removed so much stress and worry from the process.

Lots of my friends and family have horror stories of solicitors not responding to them when buying or selling a property. Clifford Johnston were the absolute opposite of this and I'd recommend them to anyone!

Diligent, attentive and experienced

I came to Clifford Johnstone & co in a time of great distress for both myself and my family. My initial contact with them I was nervous and scared of my upcoming case.
My solicitor was incredible, explaining every step of the process and making sure I was completely informed of what was to come.
Any questions that were not asked on my initial contact were answered as and when I required them. I never had any issues getting in touch with them and never had to chase them down for anything.

They honestly went above and beyond for me in an incredibly difficult period and I couldn't be happier with the service that they provided.

They will make you feel very well looked after and deliver their very best at every opportunity.

If you are looking for expert legal counsel and representation I would highly advise to approach them for their services.

Katie - will services

This is one of the simplest things I’ve done. Katie had got everything prepared based on what we had previously discussed. There was a small change that I’d thought of last min, this wasn’t an issue, Katie had made a quick amendment, made the whole process really easy. Would recommend.
Thank you Katie

We were highly impressed with the attentive service and assured advice from Chris Furbey and the team. There are always a few niggly issues with any property deal, and these were handled efficiently and promptly. I am already speaking to them about another property matter requiring legal services.

Clifford Johnson & Co were recommended when I was looking to purchase a new property, following my personal experience, I would have no hesitation engaging their services or recommending them to others.

David who handled my purchase was professional and helpful, responding quickly answering any questions I had along the way.

Many thanks David and Clifford Johnson.
