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.

Amazing experience, highly recommend

Julie Garrod was excellent throughout our very difficult house sale/remortgage.

On multiple occasions our buyer pulled out however this did not phase Julie. Julie done everything quickly/professionally and was on the ball the whole time.

Myself and Imogen can’t thank Julie enough (we must have been nightmare customers)

Julie was nothing short of amazing throughout the whole sale! She was available to us the whole time. She communicated when she was on holiday and the measures she had put in place to ensure nothing would slow down during her absence. She was almost automatic in her replies to our buyers solicitors and she provided us with fantastic cover notes, which meant we could understand and respond quickly to the inquiries from our buyers solicitors. I cannot recommend Julie enough!
