The only problem was the length of time the conveyance took and that was outside the control of TBI.

Third time lucky in completing the sale. Almost all the contact was via email with a conveyancing secretary or a conveyancing paralegal. Prompt responses.

Efficient enough (conveyancing) service though at times it felt disaggregated in delivery and unclear in the process. Completed within 6 weeks which was good as it was a straightforward sale and no chain on either side to consider. Had a disagreement at the end before completion which was upsetting and very much took the shine off the end point which, sadly, means I will not continue to use this company, but as there are other recommended companies out there for my remaining conveyancing needs, I'm not worrying about it. Can't comment on any other aspect of other services offered. Handy location (Barnard Castle) for appointments or signing documents. Reception staff friendly.
