Extremely grateful

You are in danger of collecting a fan club! We are extremely grateful for what you have done for us, even the agent commented that it was probably the fastest exchage of contracts he has ever known.

A pleasure

Fantastic service from James from start to finish, it was such a pleasure. I didn’t know it could be so stress free buying a house. So friendly, helpful and so down to earth. Can't wait to move and use James as our lawyer again.

James and the team have been a pleasure to deal with - amazing service and quality of information. I used Scott Bailey as the first person I spoke to when inquiring was so helpful and quick to respond with full cost breakdown etc. I would highly recommend.

Conveyancing department at Scott Bailey were professionally outstanding, our main contact was James Burford.

Communication with the whole Team was seamless. We carried through three different property transactions over a period of 6 months (each stressful and needing to address many outside considerations/hurdles). Any queries or progress updates were answered within 24 hours, each of the team were able to continue the process even when James was on another call, dealing with other matters or away from the office. The team were proactive and confident to legally think ‘outside the box’ in order to reach a satisfactory solution and completion for all parties.

Fee structure and invoicing was clearly itemised and transparent.

Thank you

DC and WT

James Burford. The most unsolicatory solicitor I have ever had the pleasure to meet. And I’m an estate agent ! No pretension down to earth and genuinely lovely human being ! I cannot express how much I appreciate James Burford. At Scott Bailey. He is like no other solicitor I have ever encountered. He handled 2 sales and one purchase and was quick thorough and completely had my back and was always on the end of the phone and email reassuring me and updating me. Could not recommend him more. Thank you James.

As a first-time buyer, the whole process can be daunting, and you can very easily feel overwhelmed by the amount of moving parts.

Thanks to James's great advice and reassurance throughout the process, my partner and I have managed to buy our first property with minimal stress and no hold-ups.

We couldn't have asked for a better service.

James and the rest of the Scott Bailey team strongly deserve the crown for being, without a doubt, the best solicitors in Hampshire.

I recently used Scott Bailey for a house purchase. James and Victoria were incredibly responsive to all communications, all emails were replied to within hours (most were replied to in under an hour).

On the day before completion our solicitor correctly anticipated a stamp duty cut and made us both aware, a nice touch I felt.

From beginning to end the process took 7 weeks. I will certainly be using these in the future.
