Exceptional service throughut what was a very difficult period for me.

Greg was always happy to discuss any queries I had, and on occasions repeated his advice on particular legal points that I found difficult to understand. He was patient, efficient and his responses to my enquiries were always timely.

Completed on our home last Thursday and had used Butcher & Barlow (44 church st leigh) based on a recommendation of how good Karen is.

Kirsty Frain took point on this for us and it took little over 2months from instruction, through to completion with advice/guidance given where needed, laser sharp (in exactly the way you'd want your solicitor to be!)

I hope i don't need conveyancing again any time soon, but if I do i'll be coming straight back here.

I've used Karen Baker twice now, first time for selling, and the second for buying. Her knowledge and help is second to none. She picked four faults in the sellers solicitors contract, which would have caused so many problems further down the line. I would highly recommend her & Heyman &Co............Thank you Karen.

I used Karen Baker twice for house purchase/sale, as the first experience was great. She came recommended by my sister who works in the mortgage sector and heard/had experienced clients being very happy with her. She was exactly what I needed. Clear and honest advice. Would use again before risking anywhere else.
