Highly Recommended Solicitor - Professional and Caring
I was very fortunate to have Nicky as the solicitor on my conveyancing case when buying a property. Nicky was exceptionally knowledgeable about all aspects of the process and always took the time to clearly explain important matters to me, both in writing and over the phone. She strongly advocated for my interests, and I felt confident throughout knowing she was fighting my corner. It was clear she genuinely had my best interests at heart, and for that I am extremely grateful. She kept me well informed throughout the entire process and I sincerely hope to have the pleasure of working with Nicky again the next time I buy a house. Thank you!

Property - sale and purchase
From start to finish, our whole team at Meaby and Co. were reactive, on the ball and there to offer advice through what could have been a very stressful time. Our particular purchase was a lengthy process and our team of solicitors were patient and professional all the way along. The completion day was smooth and we were kept up to date throughout. We can't recommend the team highly enough.
