非常好的買屋體驗

我們從接offer到成交只用了三星期時間，Kathy律師建議我們盡早成交，因為我們需要賣房才能買房，我們的個案有點複雜，所以律師都建議盡快處理。
Kathy在溝通和處理房子都令我們十分放心和很有交帶。
十分推薦。

Especially, I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Kathy Miller during the sale of my property. Her professionalism, patient, and expertise made the entire process not only smooth but also a pleasant experience.

Thank you once again for your exceptional service, and I will certainly recommend your services to others without hesitation.

Mortgage

We had the pleasure of working with Evie as first-time buyers, and she was absolutely amazing throughout the entire mortgage process. From the very beginning, she was incredibly supportive, understanding, and patient. We had countless questions along the way, but Evie always took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly, making sure we felt confident and informed at every step.

Her responsiveness was outstanding — she was quick to answer emails, address concerns, and handle all the necessary paperwork, which made the whole process so much smoother than we could have ever expected. What could have been a stressful and overwhelming experience turned into a seamless and positive journey thanks to her professionalism and expertise.

We couldn’t recommend Evie enough, especially to other first-time buyers. Her understanding, dedication, and personal approach truly set her apart, and we’re so grateful for all her hard work in helping us secure our mortgage and move into our new home. Thank you so much, Evie!

I used Watermans for my first flat purchase, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Shawn Wood was my conveyancing solicitor, and he was absolutely wonderful. From start to finish, Shawn kept to his word regarding the timeline, which was crucial for me since I was working under a strict deadline.

Shawn was not only reliable and efficient but also incredibly reassuring throughout the process. He answered all my questions with patience and clarity, making a potentially stressful experience much smoother. Thank you, Shawn, for your professionalism and support!
