We have used Lydia twice this year and will do so again shortly. Obviously we are pleased with her work. She is very knowledgeable, communicative and works as quickly as the process allows. Highly recommended.

Had a great experience with Lydia from start to finish. Fast and efficient and fabulously calming when things got stressful via our vendors. Would definitely recommend and will be using again for our next property

Excellent experience!

5

We were so happy with our experience with the firm. From the moment we called up we had a friendly, efficient and professional experience from start to finish. We needed a fast turnaround and clear advice which we received and that exceeded our expectations. Communication was great - from emails, calls and visits to the office. We were kept us fully aware of progress and advised on how to complete on our cases within the timeline we requested. Every lawyer we worked with was excellent - fast, very easy to work with and able to provide clear, practical advice exactly as we needed. The whole experience end to end was a pleasure and I can't recommend this firm (and the people we worked with) highly enough.
I would not hesitate to use them again!

Superb support and professionalism

Our grateful thanks to Lydia Holden for the support provided during a challenging Conveyancing process. It has been some years since my husband and I sold and bought property and we realised very quickly how times have changed. Lydia was a calm patient influence on the process, explaining clearly and very professional each step. Many many thanks from a very grateful couple. Chris & Ian Moore

House selling experience.

5

I found Lydia's work with regards to the conveyancing of my sale to be extremely professional, efficient, and easy to get in touch with when it mattered. I would have no hesitation in recommending her. I cannot think of a better conveyancing experience in the many houses i have bought and sold over the years.

Fantastic job

5

We cannot recommend Lydia Brandreth highly enough. She was extremely helpful in both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one. There were some complications along the way that she managed professionally and managed to maintained focus on getting all in the chain ready to exchange in time for completion on our original proposed date. Without her support I am sure we would still be in our old house!
