Stuart and his assistant Carole dealt with everything in a polite, succinct manner very efficiently. He was recommended to me by three members of my family, all who have used him.

My best conveyancing eperience so far. Stuart was always available to speak with directly & Wendy
would respond to email comms & prompt follow up actions without delays. The sale took longer than
expected but the reasons for this were outside of their control (involving leased solar panels on our
roof). Would defeinately reccomend the premium package.My best conveyancing eperience so far. Stuart was always available to speak with directly & Wendy

We've used Gardner Leader now for close to 10 years who have provided conveyancing for us on 4 house purchases along with a couple of personal legal matters.

Extremely professional throughout any engagement, great attention to detail and rapid to respond to any query. In fact, Stuart and his team have gone over and above our expectations on a number of occasions we wouldn't use anyone else.

Cannot recommend them highly enough, thank you team.
