Conveyancing on an auction purchase.

A fantastic and stress free experience. Extremely detailed, low-level work carried out, over and above what I was expecting. Steve Diamond made my journey very straight forward and managed to get me to completion in just over 4 weeks!

We have had very typical experiences of solicitors services over the years.
Steve however, was outstanding in every way.
Communicated, proactive, clear, diligent. We could not have asked for anything more.
Well Done Steve, you set the bar and set it high for the standard of service you gave.

Spoke with Simon for an initial consultation. Simon was knowledgeable, approachable and picked up on the main issues very quickly having only had the case details 24hrs before. He was extremely generous with his time and patiently addressed the numerous questions posed to him. He is true to his word as per his CV on the Willans website regarding the commercial realities of the case. Simon acted over and above my expectations.
