Reassuring, polite and above all effcient

Ours was simple sale and purchase, in the end requiring a great deal more input and patience, our solicitor went above and beyond.

First Class Experience

Kathryn completed the conveyancing when I sold my home in Rothley in May 2022. I rented for over a year then bought my new home in Wiltshire to be closer to my son and grandson. I had no hesitation in instructing Kathryn for the purchase, though it was a long distance away. She is professional and very efficient but friendly and welcoming too. She was very prompt in all communications and I was never concerned throughout both transactions.

Outstanding Service.

Kathryn, her staff and associates have served both myself and my wife separately and jointly on six occasions and their approachability and performance have always been of the very highest standard.
On each of these matters we have never had a single reason to complain or criticise.
Neither of us would hesitate to ask them to represent us again on any future matters.
They are, quite simply, the best in the business.
