So far so very good!

Really welcoming and friendly. Got a quote from Poole Alcock which was all inclusive so no hidden extras. Was followed up by a non-pushy email outlining details of the quote along with assurances of the contract. Quick, smooth and professional

Property purchase

We have always used Poole Alcock so for this transaction we preferred to stay with them. Eve was great from the initial call and also helped us by referring a valuer who could help us. Chloe and the team dealt with the purchase and although it was mostly e mail Chloe was available if required and was patient and explained things thoroughly when required. It's important to have a direct contact for when you need it as these things are complicated and not easy for those not dealing with it all the time.

Really quick, friendly and helpful

I needed to find a solicitor quickly after unexpectedly getting an offer accepted on a house. Within an hour of my enquiry I was called and had a quote, solicitor and a clear understanding of the process. Mollie was reassuring and personable and took the time to understand my situation and what I was after.

They were recommended to me by a friend and I can see why she had such a good experience with this company!
