“Emma was amazing from start to finish. She helped us exchange contracts about 10 months before the completion of our new build and was always on hand in that time if we had any questions about the process. Completion was so efficient, just woke up on the day and shortly after my phone rang to say it was done. 11/10”

What Retail Development clients highlight
“Ive always used local solicitors when purchasing property, however because this was an Auction purchase and it had such a short completion date and it being Christmas my local solicitors left me out in the cold 🥶.. so after after a frantic search I found Jessica at Placidi law... she firstly got and extention and from that point was a pure professional 👏.. I had a few few issues with the Auction company but as always Jessica was there to deal with any problems that arose. I will be using Placidi law again on my next purchase and Jessica Whitbourn is a credit to the company 🙌🏼.. highly highly recommended ”
