Land Registry
Simon Franklin helped myself and my parents with a declaration of trust and to enter a restriction on the title deeds to register my interest in my parents property. Everything was explained clearly by Simon, and any queries raised with him or his secretary Jo were dealt with quickly and professionally. Thank you
