I don't recommend this law firm if you want to buy/sell a property. It takes ages for them to answer some simple questions and to get things done.

Hannah and Georgina dealt with our recent house sale and purchase, we couldn't have been happier. They both communicated with us well and appropriately and fulfilled our side of the transactions in a tiny manner.

Would definitely recommend and use again.
