Fantastic service from Tanya and the team @ Kirwans

We chose to go with Kirwans for our conveyancing needs and we are so glad we did!
The app makes life so easy and not having to constantly go into the office to sign paperwork made our lives so much easier.
Tanya Sefton and the team made the whole process so seamless and it was clear that our part of the chain was the most efficient. Tanya provided us with regular updates as to where we were in the process and chased other solicitors regularly.
We will definitely be using Kirwans again in the future and are telling all our family and friends to use their services too!
Thanks again Tanya and the team!

The best conveyancing solicitor that I’ve experienced

I recently used Andrew’s conveyancing services for the purchase of a property, and I was extremely impressed with his professionalism and dedication for his work. He was always available to answer my questions, and his responses were very prompt. Even when an unexpected problem came up during our purchase process, Andrew did his best to make this happen and fortunately it all worked out! I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a conveyancing solicitor. I 100% know that I would like to work with Andrew again for our future projects. Thank you, Andrew.

A fantastic firm who has supported my disabled son through a very tough accusatory case! They had faith in him from the beginning & always adapted to meet his needs, taking time to explain things to him in a way he can understand & follow.

First time purchase

Really pleased with the experience I had with Andrew and his team. Almost everything was done via email, which suited my busy schedule. And also great for people like me who find phone calls stressful! Replies to my emails were incredibly fast and my instructions were followed perfectly.

I can see why Andrew was recommended to me, and he did not disappoint.

Massive thanks to Mr Andrew Hazeldine and his team at Prenton office. Helped me to sell my house and to purchase new property as well. Every thing was explained throughout the process, to the professional level.

Also I will like to thank Claire from Moreton branch who referred me to Mr. Andrew regarding property matter.
