I recently used Williamsons Solicitors of Bridlington to do the legal side for buying my first home. The team were fantastic from start to finish, and even though there was a few issues with the land registry and North Yorkshire Council, everything was handled with a high standard of professionalism.
A big thank you to Beth, Natalie and Vicy for all you hard work and dedication throughout. I will definitely be using Williamsons for any of my future soliciting needs, as well as highly recommend your services to others.
