Julie was great

5

Julie took care of the sale of my flat in Great Yarmouth which was far from straightforward due to changing managing agents and purchaser's solicitors being less than efficient. She handled everything with great tenacity, patience and professionalism. Thank you Julie for making it all happen!

Julie was absolutely exceptional when it came to selling/ buying our home. She replied almost immediately to any queries we had and resolved any issues which arose promptly and effectively. We were settled in our new home much quicker than we ever could have imagined and this is all down to Julie and her colleagues. Thank you!

I cannot rate the service highly enough that I received. Throughout a very long, arduous and stressful sale and purchase process the communication, attention to detail and overall responsiveness from Julie really was first class. Would highly recommend her services to anyone needing conveyancing.

Our solicitor (Julie Garrod) was helpfull every step of the way managing to always keep us updated and getting us through the move before the stamp duty rise. We also found the app very good something we didn’t have last time we moved, the costs were also very reasonable comparing very well to other solicitors
