House purchase - first time buyer

I used Clifford Johnston & Co for my recent house purchase. As a first time buyer, it can be quite daunting to go through the conveyancing process - especially when you hear/read horror stories - but I am glad I went with Clifford Johnston & Co. Horup handled my cases professionally from start to finish. Whilst the first purchase collapsed, it was because of Horup's due diligence that spotted the potential legal issue, and was pleased it was spotted where others failed to address it previously. The second attempt was much more successful and of course, I had no hesitation to use Clifford Johnston again and Horup helped me to successfully buy my first home. My emails to him were always quickly responded to, even during the extremely busy periods (i.e. the April 2025 Stamp Duty rise).

I wouldn't hesitate to use Clifford Johnston & Co and Horup Khan again. Thanks Horup!

Rare superb service

I have used various solicitors over the years - large and small. Clifford Johnson has provided exceptional service and advice on three property matters in the last 12 months and I’ll be sending more instructions. In particular Horup Khan is prompt is his responses and highly efficient. No hesitation in recommending.

Excellent Duty Solicitor

I want to give an enormous thank you to Lina who was an excellent Duty solicitor. She was extremely professional, prepared, knowledgeable and experienced. Lina helped me navigate a difficult legal process and present my case in the best light. I had no idea how things worked but she confidently supported me through each step. Lina presented me well in court and summarised a great deal of information effortlessly. She knows the system very well and I genuinely can't believe I was that lucky to get Lina as my duty solicitor! Thank you Lina for helping me to put my case forward in the best light.

CJ & Co were very professional in handling the whole deal. They kept us informed and we had timely and quick replies to any queries we had. They guided us through the whole process and our named solicitor Horup was ever so approachable and helpful in keeping us always informed. I would recommend them highly.

Simple Property Purchase

Horup helped with the sale of our old property and the purchase of our new home. He was always available to speak to and any questions via email would be replied to within 24 hours. The whole process was seamless and I would use Clifford Johnston & Co again.

Third time using Chris Furbey as my solicitor 5*

This is my third time using Chris as my conveyancing solicitor and wouldn't trust anyone else. We've never met in person (so don't be put off if you're not local). Chris is very responsive by email and you can contact him direct. 100% would recommend to friends and family and I won't use anyone else in the future.

Jared is simply fantastic. He was very professional, would answer questions I had without issue and would respond even out of hours when I got an auto responder that he wasn't available. Jared put in 100% effort and I got a result that I'm more than happy with, it felt like nothing was too small for him to be willing to take on.

He recommend a barrister who was equally as brilliant and even he commented on how much work Jared had put in to make his job easier.

Would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a solicitor

Chris Furbey went above and beyond to get my sale through. He was incredibly diligent looking at all the details provided to him and ensuring that issues with the leasehold were properly resolved and safeguarding me for the future when I come to sell on! Thanks team
