As a first time buyer, I had no idea what to expect or what the process of buying a house would be. Everything was explained clearly and in a way I would understand. No question felt silly to ask. Communication was excellent, was easy and fast to get response whether that was through there app or by phone. Even when there was annual leave happening, my file was still being continued and overseen by others and moving forward. I would 100% recommend anyone, and I know I would not go anywhere else if I was to need there services again.

From first contact, all information was communicated effectively and quickly. Clear instructions were given for completion of documents and updates were given regularly on the app so I barely had to contact my solicitor and their team. I’ve never used a solicitor that has been so responsive and the speed at which any of my messages were answered was outstanding - always on the same day. There were various complications that arose from further down the chain and my solicitor worked incredibly hard on the day of completion to continually chase matters, her approach felt so personal and she was so invested in making sure we moved as planned.
Sam Austin was amazing. There were so many problems at the beginning of the chain from the buyer’s solicitor and Sam went over and above to continually push things at that end. She took a personal interest in getting us moved as planned and was so invested in the work she did which I know caused so much frustration at times. If it wasn’t for Sam’s determination, we would not have moved on the day we were packed up and I can’t thank her enough.
