Gunilla was very positive about being able to sort our problem of trustees out and took the situation forward using her own pragmatic initiative at times.

Purchase of property

It took them over 2 years to complete the purchase of a property 😡.
They lost my documents, the person I dealt with was really hard to get in contact with and deal with them and left the job without even telling me in advance. The charges were much higher than agreed.

Went with Risdon Minehead branch to buy my first home. The whole process was much faster than expected and within eight weeks I had the keys to the house!

Caz and Kate were very helpful and always able to answer any questions throughout the process. They went the extra mile to make sure I had everything I required legally which included creating extra documents at my request which wouldn't usually be required for buying a property, just purely for my benefit and personal circumstances.

Overall I can't fault them. Really helpful and would definitely go with Risdon Minehead branch again.
