Outstanding

5

I cannot recommend David Oldham enough for conveyancing. His understanding of the process is outstanding, his communications are clear and concise and he puts you at ease by proactively managing what could otherwise be a challenging process. If I had a legal practice I would poach him tomorrow - it truly was an outstanding service. Thanks David!

Highly recommended!

5

David is an excellent Solicitor. We purchased the freehold on our property, sold our property and purchased a new property. He tied all parts of this superbly. He works effectively to meet deadlines quickly. His communication with us was exemplary and responded to queries very quickly. He gave excellent guidance on legal issues. He is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced. Highly recommended.

Superb service

5

We had brilliant service from David at Clifford Johnston when selling our old house and buying a new one. He was very thorough in looking into any potential issues with the purchase of our property and provided clear options for the best path forward when unexpected details about the house came out.

He was very quick to respond to our emails and calls and we felt looked after throughout the whole process. Moving house is an inherently confusing and stressful time but communication was clear throughout, which enabled us to proceed with confidence. I would recommend David and Clifford Johnstone to anyone trying to buy/sell property.

Great

I had a great experience with David during the process of buying my first home. David responded to emails fast, answered questions and queries clearly, and was happy to help in any way he could. This was hugely appreciated during this stressful process, I only wish the estate agents I dealt with were as responsive as David!

First time buyers with David

5

David was fantastic throughout the process, first helping us with one property which fell through and then with the property we eventually purchased. Prompt, proactive and comprehensive throughout. Really put us in a position to make decisions with confidence and to feel on top of the process.

Additionally, David was always patient, understanding and thorough in guiding us through the many parts of the process we were interacting with for the first time, making clear what we were required to do and reassuring us under pressure from sellers and estate agents. The level of professionalism and care is the main reason I will be recommending David to anyone looking to buy a house.

Sale of property - wouldn't hesitate to use again

5

Davids communication skills were excellent - he responded quickly, which meant a great deal to me, and was always informative and supportive.

The sale was quite protracted, and therefore stressful due to periods of radio silence from the buyers solicitor, but David steadied the ship beautifully and dealt with my numerous emails with the patience of a saint!

Colin Cumine was also efficient when covering Davids annual leave and was very adept at moving things on during those 2 weeks.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Clifford Johnston & Co, and I will certainly be using David Oldham for my next house purchase - why would I go anywhere else?

Clifford Johnston & Co were recommended to us by our estate agent. David was excellent at communicating with us throughout the process of our sale and purchase. He was easily contactable and took the time to answer any question we had. We had a particularly tricky buyer but David kept us informed at every stage and tried to keep up the pace of the sale. We would have been lost without him. Highly recommended.
