Smooth Move with Boys & Maughan
We cannot recommend Lesley Saunders highly enough. We had a bit of a complicated move as we had probate involved with the purchase and as it took so long, we were holding up the chain. We nearly found ourselves in a homeless situation but with a moments notice, Lesley managed to complete on both properties on the same day - Excellent service!

Continued excellence in conveyancing
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.
