Great solicitors and would highly recommend
Had a very good experience with the solicitors and would highly recommend.
Were protective with comms and asking good questions of the buyers.
Pushed the same through quickly and were much better than solicitors i had previously used.
Emily in particular went above and beyond and took good care of my account.

Exceptional Service! Exceptional Service!
This is our second time using Larcomes and we were so lucky to have Emily acting for us.
Unlike other people we were dealing with in the chain Emily always knew what was going on.
Emily would always get back to us or be one step ahead of everyone else making the process less frustrating.
She was particularly vigilant when going over the necessary paperwork and noticed things that others didn't which could of had huge cost implications. Emily is very experienced, asking the right questions and ensuring that everything runs smoothly. We even changed our property half way through due to property issues. I am so glad we took out the insurance and discussed everything properly with Emily.
If you want the job done efficiently and professionally we would recommend that Emily acts on your behalf. Mr and Mrs Knight

Julian was recommended by a friend and was exceptional from start to finish. A man with years of experience who was easy to talk to, he provided information in layman's terms when the jargon got too much and simplified what was required to administer my fathers estate. The process was smooth from start to finish and since then i’ve had the odd query and he’s responded right away with the information I required.
