Kind and professional service

Wanted to share the excellent, professional and yet kind and compassionate service we have received from Serhan Handani on two occasions.

He has always been willing to "walk the extra mile" and to explain carefully the different stages in the progress of our cases.

As an estate agent I deal with the good, the bad and the ugly in terms of conveyancing solicitors but Hannah Rafferty is in a category of her own. Superb! I recommend her regularly and she is yet to have anyone unhappy with her services and her communicative approach is unlike that of many other solicitors - she often comes to me to with updates.

She also did my own sale and purchase last year which of course, flew through…

Megan, her paralegal, is a close 2nd in terms of sales person you want acting on your file!

Carrie, Theresa & Cherry in the office are all lovely to deal with too…

I used Bramsdon & Childs as my choice of solicitors to buy my first property and they did an excellent job.

Hannah and her team provide me very detailed explanations in each step of the process.

Professional, excellent communication and they were always answering questions with no delay.

I definitely recommend Bramsdon & Childs to anyone who needs a solicitor.
