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

House sale and purchase / conveyancing service

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.

A huge thank you to Chris Furbey who worked incredibly hard to ensure we met our deadline and helped to secure our forever family home.

Review of Clifford Johnston services on sale of Property

David was brilliant throughout the process of the sale of my flat. He was extremely helpful and replied very quickly to my queries. There were no delays at all and David helped to explain the process in simple terminology.
The whole process was made easy with excellent communication throughout.
I would recommend the services provided to anyone.

I cannot recommend David Oldham enough for conveyancing. His understanding of the process is outstanding, his communications are clear and concise and he puts you at ease by proactively managing what could otherwise be a challenging process. If I had a legal practice I would poach him tomorrow - it truly was an outstanding service. Thanks David!

I've relied on Chris Furbey for the best part of a decade, during which he has overseen multiple property transactions on my behalf. He is efficient, highly responsive, and always on the ball. I couldn't imagine using another solicitor!

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.

Chris managed the sale of my house on Didsbury Road. Throughout the journey Chris always kept me fully updated with progress & even answered emails well into the evening. The bill for his efforts was also great value which is a plus. Thank you Chris, professional & a great communicator.
