    Great solicitors

    We have just bought and sold our house and Horup Khan was our conveyancer. The buying was very stressful and the first sale fell through at the last minute when our buyers buyer pulled out but Horup was fantastic and really pulled out all the stops when we got a new buyer but had to complete quickly before our seller pulled out! It was all very nerve wracking but thanks to Horup we did it. We’ve used Clifford Johnston before as they processed my father’s probate a few years ago and they were great with that as well. I can highly recommend them - A fantastic firm of solicitors

    Friendly, efficient service

    A change in life circumstances had prompted us to review and rewrite our wills, at fairly short notice. Shane was not only accommodating and made time for us, his friendly, down to earth approach made our conversation relaxed and straightforward. We discussed what our wishes were and Shane guided us in how we might do this simply without complicated language or clauses. I would certainly recommend working with Shane.

    I would like to share the service I received from Katie. She was quick to respond for my request to arrange power of attorney. Katie also explained any legal jargon with patience and understanding. It gave both myself and family clarity on details we may have been unsure of in the future. I can't thank her enough and will undoubtedly recommend friends and family to contact Katie for an excepitional service. Thank you Katie

    Shane was not only technically knowledgeable and brilliant at what he does, he helped keep me sane at what was one of the most traumatic times in my life. He seemed to have an abundance of empathy, support, sympathy, respect and provided you with the best advice for what was happening. No matter how stressed I got or how much I was dealing with - Shane was there for you, not just to provide technical expertise but with giving useful advice and tips. I can’t recommend him highlight enough. I’d have no qualms in recommending him to others and it was an honour to be his client too. Thanks so much Shane! I am living my new life with my boys in Brum! :-)

      We recently sold our flat and bought a house, and used Clifford as our solicitors. We had a really positive experience throughout. Our soliciotr, David, was incredibly responsive and probably the fastest person we’ve ever dealt with when it came to replying to emails! Our sale dragged on for quite a while, and at times it was really important to get through enquiries quickly. David managed to work through a huge number of enquiries in no time at all, which made a stressful process much easier. We’d definitely recommend Clifford / David to anyone looking for reliable and responsive conveyancing.

      David was extremely efficient, dealing with my two sales & a purchase. Emails & phone calls were replied to/ followed up mostly the same day. Every communication was easy to understand and the content explained if necessary. I have another property I will be selling soon, hopefully & will definitely ask David to do the conveyancing for me.
