    Excellent communication!

    Sarah recently managed a very tricky house sale for us. Always professional, always calm - even when we were tearing our hair out in frustration! Sarah and her team have helped us on many occasions and she is always there to pick up the phone when you need help, advice or reassurance. Communication is key and she doesn’t disappoint.

    In the past I have had some dreadful experiences with solicitors regarding the purchase and sale of property....but not this time. Battens were efficient, on the ball and did everything exactly as required without any surprises either time or cost wise. I thoroughly recommend Cate Barnes for her quiet proficiency, professionalism and competence. With her we were in great hands.

      Dawn was so supportive throughout a really difficult time. She totally understood my situation, and my personal feelings about what I wanted to achieve, then did a great job of tailoring her advice to help me.
