Excellent service throughout the conveyancing process

Jo handled our house sale and purchase with exemplary care, support and timeliness. At every stage in the process, we knew what was happening and why, and really appreciated Jo's clear impartial advice on some trickier issues. We really felt that Jo was acting in our best interests from start to finish

Parfitt acres well handled both our sale of our old house and purchase of our new one. We were very happy with the whole experience and found them to be extremely communicative and efficient.

Great service

Jo was very professional & made it as easy as possible to sort my mums estate, after she passed away. Would highly recommend.
Only issue is the Land registry. We are still waiting (over a year) for my mums estate to be transferred into my name along with my dad. I was asked to pay months ago, which I did. BUT im still waiting, despite chasing. Not sure of why the hold up.

Praise for Parfitt Cresswell

Apart from what I’ve indicated below the most positive aspect is being kept updated as to what is going on and, also, receiving prompt replies to any queries.
