From an initial phone call to final signing I was treated with respect, care and kindness. I was very nervous and didn't understand how to go about creating a will and power of attorney etc. I'm sure it took longer than expected due to me going back over requirements but it was not a problem for
Mr P which I thank him sincerely for. A very professional and helpful experience which I would recommend to anyone in need of legal services.

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.

We contacted Manby Bowdler Solicitors for the conveyancing of my late father’s house.
Beverley Taylor who is based at the Redditch office, under took conveyancing procedure for us.
We have been so impressed with Beverley, her professionalism, her expertise and efficiency were second to none.
We found her to be personable, always available to answer questions, always answered her messages promptly.
Even our estate agent commented on her efficiency.
What was a stressful time for us, was made so much easier, knowing Beverley was always there for guidance and explanation of the process.
We plan to move house soon, and will not hesitate to ask Beverley to undertake the conveyancing for us
