Varsha was always quick to act and communicated everything clearly & concisely. Being able to complete necessary paperwork face-to-face made for a very personal, straightforward, client-focussed experience. Receptionists also gave a friendly welcome.

From start to finish Varsha was very professional and efficient! The buyers solicitor was the complete opposite, but Varsha remained patient to the very end.

Review of Varsha at Sparlings Solicitors

Varsha made the experience of buying our first house as easy as it could possibly be. She was excellent throughout and we can’t thank her enough for her help.

I had such an amazing experience with Sparling Solicitors - in particular Michelle and Kay. They assisted me through a sale falling through on my first property and helped me purchasing my new home! They were always quick to respond to any queries I had, really professional which allowed me to complete quickly! Would 100% use again and recommend to everyone!
