Continued excellence in conveyancing

5

We have used Boys & Maughan (formerly Gardner Croft) for the purchase/sale of properties on 6 occasions. Each time the conveyancing has been of the highest standard. Communication has always been timely and accurate and given in a friendly manner. We have received professional advice (and direction where necessary) without the feeling of being pushed. Whilst the solicitors appointed to us have always performed in an exemplary manner, it is also worthy to mention the recent addition of Kimblerley Garratt as an assistant to the services provided to us. Kimberley has, without fail, responded to any query raised by us almost immediately. This important reassurance measure has only raised our opinion of Boys and Maughan as a firm. We are grateful to say the least.
