Fantastic personal & local service

Professional, considerate and caring services provided by Kathryn, particularly supportive as my mother is elderly. I can highly recommend Dowding Solicitors for an efficient and comprehensive service. Nothing is too much trouble.

First Class Service

I have known Kathryn in a professional capacity for many years and have used Dowding Solicitors to buy and sell several houses over the last 4 years. Very prompt in dealing with all aspects of our transactions and excellent direct communication from Kathryn with updates throughout. I wouldn't go elsewhere as I find Kathryn is straight talking, very responsive and I both value and trust her knowledge and expertise.
