Conveyancing/House Purchase
We searched for a conveyancing solicitor using online reviews. Clifford Johnston came up as one of the best & several reviews specifically mentioned Andrea. We approached the solicitors & the process has been completely seamless. We reached out to the solicitors early October & managed to push through completion & exchange by mid-December. Andrea & the team provided everything needed in a timely manner & with minimal faff/fuss. Thank you for the great service & helping us move into the new home before all the Christmas shut downs.

A pleasure to work with
Andrea Belshaw was top tier in her communication. She made the process seem incredibly simple from start to finish, which is a feat! Andrea is brilliant at raking complex legal jargon and explaining it in a way that we could understand. She was also fantastic at providing action summaries, which really helped us to focus our efforts when she required further information from us. Overall I'd recommend Andrea highly.

House sale and purchase
Andrea was always extremely helpful with us during our house sale and onward purchase. It was a stressful time as our first sale fell through but she calmed us (me!) down and in the end, everything happens for a reason. She was always there at the end of the line and a somewhat rocky & frustrating / completion was made a lot smoother with Andrea's help. This is not a process we are massively familiar with (nor want to be again for a few years!) and so Andrea broke it down for us many times if we got stuck.
Thank you Andrea

Moving from old property into new property
Andrea Belshaw was exceptional and I would definitely recommend her to anyone selling/purchasing a new house. Her secretary, Nikki, was also extremely helpful. I can't thank them enough for all their hard work and making things run smoothly for me.

Confidence inspiring
After a nerve-fraying experience with a conveyancer over my last house house purchase it was a pleasure to work with Andrea when buying my new flat. She gave me clear guidance as to what I needed to do and when and highlighted the key points in the survey reports and lease documents she sent me. Confusions on the vendors' part delayed exchange of contracts until the last minute but completion took place as scheduled. I am very pleased with the experience and will be engaging Andrea to handle the sale of my house.
