Thank you Nicola!

We managed to complete and exchange within four months thanks to the professional advice and support Nicola gave us. She has been amazing throughout this experience, supporting us every step of the way. She has been responsive, replying very quickly to any updates we had. I had heard horror stories about buying your first house, but it has been an easy process thanks to the help we got from Nicola,

I couldn't recommend her enough!

A representative from LFBB Solicitors responded to this review on 09 June, 2025:

Thanks so much for taking the time to provide this feedback. The fact that you keep coming back should, I suppose, tell us everything that we need to know but for you take time to tell us here gives us all a lift. Thank you.

Excellent Help From Ian Clay

Mr Clay has helped me with a number of matters recently. These include - the purchase of commercial property, the sale of commercial property and land, the purchase of river beds, fishing rights, and Ad Medium Filum claims, adverse possession.

Mr Clay has provided support in redrafting a lease, and has represented me in several Civil claims through the County Court.

In each case I have found his knowledge to be excellent, his communication clear and comprehensible to me as a non legal person.

Fee levels have always been fair, and realistic, as have the timescales for completion of matters.

Overall, an excellent service. Thank you very much.

A representative from LFBB Solicitors responded to this review on 23 April, 2025:

Your kind words are really appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us and should you need any legal assistance in the future please just give us a call.
