A really clean and clear experience. The service was excellent, timely and accurate, helped make the whole process very smooth without drama or unnecessary expense.

The advice was prompt, relevant, reliable and communication was in plain English. Does exactly what is says on the tin. Such a refreshing change from most solicitor interactions which I usually find painfully slow and difficult to unpack. Excellent service.
