Professional and businesslike with a sense of urgency when needed, unlike my buyers solicitors who could learn something about competence and timeliness from them.

As an organisation I can not rate them highly enough. In particular our solicitor/contact , Caz. We were kept up to date throughout the whole process and the advice and guidance made a very stressful and complicated experience , a lot more bearable and manageable

Went with Risdon Minehead branch to buy my first home. The whole process was much faster than expected and within eight weeks I had the keys to the house!

Caz and Kate were very helpful and always able to answer any questions throughout the process. They went the extra mile to make sure I had everything I required legally which included creating extra documents at my request which wouldn't usually be required for buying a property, just purely for my benefit and personal circumstances.

Overall I can't fault them. Really helpful and would definitely go with Risdon Minehead branch again.
