Very pleased with the service we got from Hannah and her team, dealing with 2 house sales and a lease extension, we were kept informed every step of the way. The costs were layed out to us from the beginning and adhered to, I can't fault the service of the Wolverhampton office and have to say we also dealt with Sara from the Redditch office on two probates again complex but dealt with a timely manner and followed up relentlesly on a few outstanding monies owed.
