Thank You Paul for your patience, honesty and time.
I have a small commercial shop in Wallington that I manage for Mum. I live abroad. My real estate manager recommended Paul. We had some challenges come up with the shop and lost our new tenant. We got another tenant apply. These tenants or their solicitor really dragged the lease, they kept asking repetitive questions. Very frustrating.
Paul handled the situation with patience and ease, he was very professional. He was very generous with his time.
Thank You Paul for all your time and patience dealing with me, the tenants and their solicitor. There were a few heated moments there so I thank you for your professionalism and patience.

We have just competed on a house sale. Before all the Covid-19 issues happened, we are already so impressed by Louise & Cathy. Any questions were dealt with by return. After we went into lockdown and everyone was working from home, that brilliant level of service didn't slip - any questions / concerns we had were dealt with so quickly. Louise and Cathy make a brilliant team. To get a completion in these circumstances has been quite something. I appointed them on the recommendation of an estate agent (Williams Harlow) and for the fact they were a couple of minutes walk from my office in Cheam Village - but in the future, we won't look anywhere else - they are the best Conveyancing solicitor we've used in 20+ years. I really would highly recommend them.

Tracey and Amanda were amazing when we were selling and purchasing. They were always one step ahead and it was so refreshing as we had to micro manage everyone else we were dealing with.
I will be using them and recommending them for anything else in the future.

Gowen and Stevens were brilliant to work with, holding our hands throughout the way and providing lots of info to ensure we knew what was happening each step of the way. The app provides a great way to track the process and stay up to date with on-going activity. Neve managed our sale and was brilliant, incredibly helpful, calm and reliable. Can not recommend her enough.
