Duncan was very patient, helpful, polite and considerate. I had a slight illness some years ago which affected my word recall and Duncan was mindful of this.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate the positive feedback you have given us and look forward to working with you in the future.
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!
