Jonathan Da Costa is a very experienced and compassionate lawyer. He made what was an emotional and stressful time for me much easier to cope with during the process. His advice is clear and honest and I would definitely use the company again in the future if I had the need.

Sale of property

Being a novice in dealing with this situation Anna was very understanding and explained each stage , answered all the questions I raised and put my mind at rest. As I was moving to Cornwall to be near family, Anna was proactive in letting me know what hurdles might arise. She was always at the end of the ‘phone to assure me that all was progressing at it should be.

Absolutely brilliant solicitors. Communicated throughout the process of the sale of my property. I needed a quick sale and they were more than happy to accommodate. I even sold my property sooner than I expected!

Richard Robinson was appointed to help sell my flat. I knew starting that it wasn’t going to be a simple process as a similar flat in the same development had been going through the sale process starting around 9 months earlier and had not completed.

Richard was very good a giving me regular updates, replying to emails and calls and explaining what the technical terms meant. We did run into significant road blocks along a way around a unresponsive management company where both myself and Richard chased up managing to get the required information where the other mentioned flat was not able to.

This would’ve been a 5 star review however after exchange and the day before completion Richard informed me that the help to buy equity loan side had been overlooked and not completed. I was able to get a valuation carried out the next day and Richard chased help to buy customer service as was able to complete just a day late. Richard was very apologetic and reduce my legals fees by a fair amount in compensation unprompted.

As an estate agent of 24 years I can honestly say Richard Durrant of Boys and Maughan is the best conveyancing solicitor In the industry by a country mile! I have worked with him on both a personal and professional level. His dedication to his clients and resolving issues that other solicitors would give up on is unrivalled. If you want your home sale or purchase to complete with as little stress as possible then Richard is your man. Thanks again Richard first class job as always.
