Superb service

From the moment Jacqueline Byrd took on our case I couldn’t have asked for more.
Her attention to detail was spot on, she was always courteous and immediately grasped complex details, extremely prompt with accurate and precise replies and always lifted our spirits in a difficult process. The personal service we received made us feel like her only clients and she went the extra mile for us because she cared. I have nothing but praise for her and have recommended her wholeheartedly to other prospective clients already.
Quite simply Jacqueline, words cannot express our gratitude, but “Thank you, you were amazing”

This was a complicated and emotional sale and purchase. There were a lot of problems and delays. Jacqueline gave excellent service all the way through, and was kind and professional at all times.

Brilliant

Rachel and her team were fantastic throughout our selling and buying process and have provided a great service. The online system also made it easy to set up the initial payments and attach any paperwork that we had. Our property we were selling was leasehold which comes with its own complications but Rachel dealt with everything efficiently which kept the process working to the time scale we orginally had asked for.

Rachel was always quick to respond to any questions we had and we would definately use this firm again. Thank you so much for all of your help.

Absolutely brilliant

This is the best solicitor EVER. So informative, very quick to respond to any queries, and always there if needed. This was the 4th time I have moved house and definitely the smoothest ride due to these amazing solicitors. I couldn’t believe how easy they made everything seem. I would definitely recommend and use again.

All I can say is WOW, thank you so much Jacqueline.

Me and my partner are first time buyers, but have never had to worry about the stress of buying a house, wondering what the next steps are or how the process will work. Jacqueline has been amazing at keeping us updated, informing us about the next steps throughout and what we need to do.

You hear of people having to constantly chase their solicitors, but this wasn’t the case at all. And we have just completed in 3 months!!

Thank you so much Jacqueline, we will be back in the future and recommending you!

I never leave a good review! But this solicitors deserve one. I have used them several times for services such as house purchases and will writing and I will never use anyone else. Friends, affordable, on the ball and fast. Jacqueline did my last house purchase and she was so fast and friendly, chasing me!
