Excellent service right from the start.

Lina TSUI-CHEUNG was great. Always kept in touch and responded quickly if I had any questions.
In court, she did a great job defending me, I felt supported and everything was clearly explained to me.
Lina was punctual and very nice deal with. I highly recommend Lina and I would definitely use Clifford Johnston Solicitors again.
Thank you for everything you have done.

Property Purchase

I have used CJ Solicitors on numerous occasions and David Oldham and Chris Fury (and Colin Cummine) in the last 2 years on property purchases and they have been brilliant.
I would have no doubts on recommending.
They managed to get my last property over the line in time to beat stamp duty increase always seem to go that extra mile.

David Rang me regularly to keep me updated.

10 out of 10 every time, best solicitors I have ever dealt with over the years.

Best advice and guidance

I contacted the firm quite late in my scenario but they responded very quickly and put me in touch with my solicitor. She went out of her way to give us time. She was very approachable at any time or day. She always heard me out and gave her best professional and practical advice. It helped me with my problem. Highly recommended firm.

Can't fault the service we received from David Oldham. From start to finish David kept us fully informed of progress and always responded promptly to any queries we had.

Thanks to David's professionalism and efficiency we experienced the smoothest house move ever.

We could not recommend Clifford Johnston & co, and in particular David Oldham, highly enough.

We had the services of David Oldham at Clifford Johnston Solicitors during sale and then purchase of our home. Because of David, both the times it all went very smoothly.
David was excellent in conveyancing and prompt in communicating in response to our queries and is a very helpful and pleasant person.
We would highly recommend David and Clifton Johnston Solicitors.

If I could give more the 5 stars I would!

I have recently completed the sale on my first home and Chris was amazing!

It was a long sale with a few issues along the way but Chris dealt with them quickly and kept me updated and was very patient with all the questions I had!

He worked hard to make sure I didn’t miss my mortgage cut off date and we made it on time!

I will definitely look to use Clifford Johnston again!

It was a pleasant change to work with conveyancing solicitors who kept us informed every step of the way and replied to any queries promptly.
They made selling and buying a lot less stressful experience.
We had the pleasure of having David Oldham work on our case and would highly recommend him .
