Excellent conveyancing

From the initial phone call where jack immediately understood my needs to the final completion of the property sale, the service has been fast and efficient utilising email for quick communication. The pricing was set out clearly at the start and was what we were charged. I cannot fault the service.

Our thanks to the assistances by your company's Eastbourne representative Christine (with witness colleague) in preparation and update publication of our current new wills. They were most helpful, aiding very much our decisions regarding content and longer term clarifications, and secured the process of completion within days.
