We couldn’t recommend Cygnet more! Rachel was amazing from start to finish when helping us buy our first home. She dealt with issues very quickly ensuring a swift close.

Professional, Calm and Friendly

Moving home can be a particularly stressful time, especially when it has been a long time since it last happened. Theresa, Michelle, and the entire team made the whole experience so much easier with a thoroughly calm courteous and professional attitude.
I certainly felt as though they were in complete control of the situation from day one. They were always happy to answer my questions, whatever the subject, and I will certainly use their services again should the need arise.

I would recommend the company to anybody who needs a soliciting firm

Excellent experience using Cygnet law on what helped ease an awful sale of my home via auction.

Big thank you to Rachel Rix who was a diamond throughout the process from end to end maintaining great communication and a friendly approach at all times making me feel re assured when required going above and beyond to help bring the best out of an otherwise terrible situation for myself.

I would definitely recommend the use of this company for anyone wanting a punctual, professional and welcoming service.

Many thanks again and again!!!
