House Purchase

I am extremely happy with the service that I received from Dunn and Baker. I got three quotes and D and B were the most competitive. Claire Penhallow dealt with my case. She was extremely helpful, courteous and friendly. She always returned calls and emails within 1 working day. She always had time to answer my questions and explain he conveyancing process to me. I have no reservations in recommending Claire or Dunn and Baker to anyone who is thinking of buying a house and needs a solicitor.

House Purhcase

My first time dealing with any solicotrs and a first time buyer, most of the process was unknown to me. Jasmine was fantastic at explaing things and getting things done efficently. She ensured any queries or questions were answered promptly and kept everything moving thoguhout the process. Always being approachable with any questions I had, or communcaiting back when things were happenign, felt kept in the loop throught the whole process. Would highly recommend :) Thanks again!

Highly recommend Jasmine Milton for conveyancing

Jasmine Milton has been absolutely brilliant throughout the whole stressful conveyancing process. She was always happy to explain everything to me, fast to answer queries, kept on top of the 3rd party solicitors to keep things moving, kept me updated throughout and made the whole thing so much easier.

I would definitely use her again when I move in the future.

Huge thanks to Darren & Becca who for over 9 years have been dealing with my Family Legal matters. Darren has been highly professional & understanding of my situation. Always willing to help and providing a clear & concise appraisal of the likely chain of events. I believe his personal recollections from the start of my case were instrumental in achieving a favourable outcome. I highly recommend his services.

I had a fantastic experience from start to finish with Dunn & Baker, Harry Coombe acted for me during my house purchase and was incredibly efficient, helpful and knowledgeable throughout. Harry replied to all emails and calls very promptly and was instrumental in ensuring the process was both thorough and smooth. I'd highly recommend Dunn & Baker to anyone.
