Informative, efficient, customer friendly through a complex conveyancing process. Excellent service that proved to be less expensive than their original fee proposal which was competitive in its own right. Many thanks to the formidable conveyancing team.

Smooth

Being a first time buyer there were many unknowns, Sarah helped make everything run smoothly and swiftly dealt with any uncertainty I had. This was the least stressful part of moving house by far

Great Experience

5

As a single dad to a 5-year-old and with a disability to manage I can;t thank Sarah/ Tozer's enough for helping me get into my Shared Ownership property. The process was relatively straight forward, sensibly priced and carried out in a timely manner.

Sarah always responded quickly to any of my queries which helped settle my nerves every time.

Buying a house takes time and unfortunately I was itching to get things sorted. The whole process took around 8 weeks from my initial contact, it just felt like a lot longer.

Absolutely brilliant. Sarah Brimilcombe is Ace and you couldn’t ask for anyone better. I thoroughly recommend using Tozers. She’s easy to contact, she relays all information clearly and in an effective manner. At no point has she left me wondering what’s going on - which has been the case with other solicitor firms. I’m very happy with the service I have been provided.
