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
