Without the help of Suzanne Tucker we would never of achieved our dream of building our own home. We struggled dealing with the council regarding our application for an affordable home which we finally got passed with her help. Her knowledge and professionalism is second to none and we would highly recommend her for any planning advice/needs.

Having worked with Laura Horton & Jessica Johnson, I found them both very professional, all emails were answered promptly, in a clear and understanding way, which I understood. If I require any legal advice FBC Manby Bowdler will be my first choice to call. Many thanks to all the team.

I instructed FBC to help with my the purchase of my home. Jamie worked closely with my file and I have to say it was such a quick, efficient and easy process! Jamie made sure we were updated daily, he kept us in the loop of everything and went the extra mile. We had a very tight deadline and Jamie managed to exchange and get the keys to our home to us in such a quick turnover. I would highly recommend using this firm, especially Jamie wa made the process of buying our first home a smooth and stress free time.
