I first come across Richard Reed solicitors when I needed something simple legally signing quickly for my poorly mother. Philip Moir stepped up travelled to my mothers house as she was housebound signed the document and he must have understood the situation was important
He charged me £5
I’ll never forget that
And I’ve used them ever since on personal matters and buying and selling property
Reasonably priced in all aspects and the whole team are always polite helpful and friendly
