Jake with Solicitor Lina

Lina was incredible from start to finish and in-between the court case. Lina was reassuring throughout the entire process keeping me calm and explaining all of my options and even gave her own professional advise. Hopefully I never find myself in this position again, however I would call upon this firm and specifically ask for Lina herself. Thanks again.

Katie made this really simple for us to complete and more importantly - for us to understand.

Excellent, Stress-Free Conveyancing for First-Time Buyer

As a first-time buyer, I had many questions and uncertainties, but my solicitor made the entire process smooth and reassuring from start to finish. Communication was clear, timely, and professional throughout. Every stage from reviewing the contract to exchanging and completing was handled efficiently and with great attention to detail.

I particularly appreciated how they guided me through key legal documents and were always available to explain next steps. Their proactive updates helped reduce stress during what could have been an overwhelming experience.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone purchasing a property, especially first-time buyers. First-class service.

Really pleased with the experience I had with Clifford Johnston and with David Oldham. He replied straight away, cared about helping me through the process, was very straight forward to deal with, and supported me in the process of having to change the house I purchased. Really would recommend him - nothing was too much hassle to handle

First Class Service

From start to finish, Lina and Erik made me feel relaxed and always kept me upto date with everything I needed to know how my case was going. I have to give a special mention to Erik, for me I don't think I'd have made it through everything without his constant attention to detail and relaxed attitude that always kept me at ease. I can't thank Clifford and Johnston enough for what they did, and instructing my barrister Tom also. I can't recommend them all highly enough.

Chris Furbey completed on our house sale and purchase last week. Throughout the process, Chris was proactive, responsive, and clear in his communication. His expert knowledge and extensive experience ensured things ran smoothly from start to finish, with Chris and colleagues going above and beyond to manage the chain and ensure deadlines were met. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Chris to others and will certainly use Clifford Johnston & Co’s services as required in future.
