Su Edwards was a real star in acting on our behalf during the purchase of our house. She was quick to respond, relentless in chasing up matters and always thought of our needs when advising us. She always got the results that were best for us and told us what we needed to know and do in order to progress. I always felt she was protecting our interests and ensuring that we navigated the challenges of house purchasing safely. From our very first contact with Su I felt we were in safe hands and the results confirmed that.

Great service from Suzanne and Stewart to get us through the complex Section 106 required for our self build planning application.
Communication was clear and prompt and we felt great care had been taken.
Thank you

Laurie Carruthers and Heather Cole were exceptional in the purchase of our first home. As first time buyers, the legal process was completely daunting initially however, Laurie and Heather were clear and approachable in their communication from the start, and worked with us to ensure we fully understood what we were committing to, using layman’s terms.

We purchased from a new build developer and throughout the whole process, Laurie and Heather were the only people we encountered involved with the purchase that genuinely had our best interest at heart, and wanted to ensure we were fully briefed on what documents we were signing and the implications of signing them.

Laurie was regularly available to speak with and if for any reason she wasn’t, Heather was able to provide clear updates in Laurie’s absence, advising on next steps and any delays which had been incurred by the other side.

Neither of us can express our thanks enough and would urge anyone, experienced or new to the residential purchase or sale process, to instruct the FBC Manby Bowdler Team to act on their behalf.

Today we have completed on a house and we highly recommend Su at Shrewsbury for completing our conveyancing. Su has kept us updated at every critical point. Its not an easy process but we felt very confident in her work. She fought tooth and nail for us in the last 3 days especially as it became time critical. Exceptional. !
