39 Welton Vale Sale Review

I am replying on behalf of myself, my brother and my sister as joint executors of 39, Welton Vale. It has been a long and sometimes frustrating journey in closing the estate of our late mother and father. Selling a property is not an easy task especially in these difficult economic times and we have been very impressed with the client service we have received. We chose FDC Law as our late parents were your clients for many years and we felt a 'connection' with yourselves due to this. Thank you Stuart for leading us through the complexities of the legal side of selling a property and we have appreciated your clear, informative and prompt communication with all three of us each step of the way towards completion of the property sale which has now happened.

Outstanding Service!

We had quite a rocky road to travel when selling our property, with various complications. Over the 12 months it took to finally complete our sale, Lauren was absolutely amazing throughout the process. Always going the extra mile to help us through the issues that arose.
Lauren's communication and determination to succeed was outstanding. We really couldn't thank Lauren and Amy enough for their hard work and all the support we had from FDC Law.
