Waste of time
Currently 18 months into Kirwans doing nothing to sell a property left to us in the will of a deceased family member. We will all be dead before Kirwans resolve this matter. Do not use this firm. Worse than useless.

Kirwans Moreton office were responsible for the paperwork involved with the LPOA and Claire Currie, a partner there has given me invaluable advice on numerous occasions over the years. Claire is amazing, quick to get back to you , empathetic and effective. Just what I needed living so far away.
Thank you Claire for everything.

Really tough to get hold of them on the phone or via email. Found Sara and Claire (owner?) rude and unhelpful. Wouldn't recommend if you need someone to be quite responsive.
