We have just sold our property and purchased our new home with Richard Reed Solicitors. Nicola and Joanne were fantastic throughout the entire process! The communication and efficiency were second-to-none. Nicola and Joanne answered our questions, dealt with matters extremely promptly and made the matter of selling and buying less stressful. Could not recommend Nicola & her team at Richard Reed Solicitors enough!
