Thank you to Nora

Nora’s handling of the sale of my house was outstanding. Not only is she professional, friendly and efficient, she has excellent communication skills and a sharp eye to detail. Always available on the phone she kept me fully updated on progress and achieved our completion date. She was amazing - such a joy to work with.

I had to auction a neighbour's house as they were going into a care home. I had never done this before. I was recommended Frank Smith in Cheltenham. I dealt with a Robert Davies-Boulton. I have to say he was excellent and steered me through the whole process, without me feeling !! It was much more painless then I imagined. We all know Solicitors are costly but I was grateful that the cost wasn't horrendous. So I would highly recommend this firm.

Property sale

Nora Ibrahim assisted me in the sale of a cottage. Some elements of the transaction were not comletely straightforward, for example, partitioning off some land from the sale deeds and handling rights of way enquiries. Nora was professional, helpful and made herself available to answer queries. The process was smooth and efficient, and her advice was good. I would say that Nora is now my go to lawyer for domestic property transactions. Excellent service. Thank you.

Outstanding; Highly Recommended

I have used Frank Smith & Co Solicitors twice and on both occasions they have been outstanding. They appear to be unique in the fact they always respond promptly and fully to any query. I had 2 complex purchases and they guided me through every step and were always available to advise me. Nora Ibrahim is highly professional, efficient and has amazing communication skills. Frank Smith & Co Solicitors were recommended to me and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

We used Nora to firstly, sell a house and then also to buy one in separate transactions. Nora kept us continuously up-to-date with everything that happened, and all developments were relayed straight back to us. She was always available and contactable and her friendly 'can-do' attitude was really refreshing and definitely helped the process move along smoothly. We would definitely use Frank Smith Solicitors again and recommend Nora to others. Simon & Ali D

Nora Ibrahim provided an excellent service throughout the house sale process. Her availability and communication in person, by phone or via email was first class. Her advice and guidance throughout the transaction was impressive and reassuring. Nora has a warm and friendly approach and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Nora's professional skills, abilities and personal qualities were a credit to the practice and provided a five star service.

I instructed Frank Smith & Co on the sale and purchase of our house. Having worked with Nora previously, I knew that her attention to detail and professionalism would ensure that the process would be as smooth as possible. I was not disappointed.

Thank you so much Nora and Frank Smith & Co, and look forward to working with you again!
