Stuart was very thorough in all of his investigations and enquiries regarding our purchase, and advocated for us in what developed into a somewhat difficult situation with the vendors. At all times he was professional and courteous. Thank you so much!

A Conveyancing Journey

We strongly recommend FDC Law to anyone considering moving house. There is enough stress involved in such a move and Michael at FDC managed to keep the whole thing on track, despite complications arising in the chain. He was always in communication, calm and very professional. Excellent service!

We have had the most amazing support and service from Mr John Kilmister who dealt with the settlement of my parents property. It was a long process but Mr Kilmister keep us up to date at each step and was a very reassuring figure in the ongoing dispute, I could not recommend FDC Law highly enough.
