  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?

Little communication

This review is for a different branch.

Very little communication whilst waiting for vendors probate. Had to ring up and chase before anything was then done. After pushing for completion it got a little better, but was very slow dealing with communication for probate, which was holding up the sale at the beginning.

Saved the day for us (well our trip). Very quick thinking and fit us in the next day. The only solicitor in the area who was able to think of the idea. We'll have to bring you something back from Germany!

Thanks again.
