We have dealt with Mr Willoughby for some thirty years now - in selling and purchasing property. It is always a pleasure to meet him again. The main satisfaction is in dealing with the same person throughout this time, and we hope to continue to do so.

Great Service - would 100% recommend

5

We used CW Booths to handle the sale and purchase of our new house as they came recommended by our estate agents and they did not disappoint. The process was smooth and we were kept up to date along the way. Our solicitor Robert was on hand to answer our queries and even during his annual leave our case was dealt with by a colleague to ensure everything kept moving forward. Pricing is fair and there were no hidden fees at the end which you so often hear about with other firms.
I would not hesitate to use CW Booths again and will recommend them to family and friends in the future.

I am an estate agent and was involved in what should have been a straightforward purchase by a first time buyer, buying an empty property. C W Booth were acting for the sellers and the property was empty. In turned out to be a tad more complicated due to a notice place on the property. Also the buyers solicitors were seriously dreadful (personally I would avoid Claire at Michael Cook at all costs). Thankfully we got fantastic comms from Robert Willoughby and those comms helped in exposing the buyers sols for telling untruths/being inept. So thank you Robert (and Louisa) for providing updates on a regular basis and helping get the transaction finally over the line.
