As an estate agent with no previous relationship with this firm, (I’m based in Cambridge) I think I am well placed to say how impressive they are. It is so refreshing to work with a proactive solicitor on conveyancing matters. Efficient and highly professional. I would strongly recommend this company and Catharine Morrison in particular to anyone that want excellent representation and the speediest transaction possible. Five stars from me!
