With you all the way

I have used this firm for many years and during 2022-2024 needed to use new services including Will, escalated Power of Attorney, Tenant Possession Order and Property Sale (as a result of terminal illness/bereavement). It has been a very difficult time and the matters haven't been straight-forward, but each person at all levels of the company was professional, compassionate and did what they said they would do (or rectified any misunderstandings swiftly). Each Solicitor was clear in their advice and available to speak to, or returned my calls within reasonable timescales (and sometimes above and beyond what I would have expected). They reassured and calmly guided me, step by step, through to successful outcomes.

Property transfers

Ian Clay is most helpful in all the work that he and his team do for us. We are an estate planning and legal company and Ian does property transfers for us from the deceased to family members. He also sorts out splitting of titles, removing restrictions, and most recently full conveyancing for properties being sold.
We have also dealt with Daniel Flowers who did an excellent job for our client in sorting out a mediation and division of an estate.

Stress free house sale

Nicola Stone was instructed to act on my behalf. Nicola made the whole process easy, communicating regularly with me and estate agents. The sale went through quickly and efficiently. When Nicola encountered any issues, these were dealt with promptly and professionally. I would highly recommend Nicola Stone.

Amazing solicitors

I recently contacted LFBB solicitors for advise re loss of an original document.
From the day I contacted Daniel he was friendly approachable very knowledgable and extremely skilled in explaining things in a way that was easy to understand. He offered a solution and from then on his communication was fantastic and he replied to all my questions very quickly. If in the future I need legal advise I wouldnt hessitate to contact Daniel again and would recomend him.
I would just like to add that the office staff were very lovely and friendly.
