Worthy of more than 5 stars

Right from the start the assistance was speedy, spot on and made a house purchase as easy as it could have been. If only the other solicitors in the chain were too we could have completed much sooner

I am an estate agent and was involved in what should have been a straightforward purchase by a first time buyer, buying an empty property. C W Booth were acting for the sellers and the property was empty. In turned out to be a tad more complicated due to a notice place on the property. Also the buyers solicitors were seriously dreadful (personally I would avoid Claire at Michael Cook at all costs). Thankfully we got fantastic comms from Robert Willoughby and those comms helped in exposing the buyers sols for telling untruths/being inept. So thank you Robert (and Louisa) for providing updates on a regular basis and helping get the transaction finally over the line.
