A very patient solicitor, who sorted problems out when we changed our mind about a house purchase mid conveyance. Really excellent service from Jo Martin, whom we felt was really 'on our side'. Thank you so much.
Anne McDonald - 18th August 2023 -
Timely and efficient. Too many solicitors need to be chased by the clients. I only needed to do this once, and the reply was quick and clear as to the hold up. Very good.

Jo Martin kept me up to date with the Variation of Deed process which was quite trying at times with the current freeholder and his conveyancer taking a long time to provide information. I recommend Jo and a shout to her assistant Mandy Hinton.

We had very short timescales, 4 weeks to do the house conveyancing. My brother was in Canada and I was on holiday in Jordan. I was very impressed that it was all pulled together on time with these barriers to communications. Easy to communicate by email and phone when required.

Jo and Mandy were on hand to advise from the very start of the process of selling our house. Both have been very responsive whenever we've communicated (not my previous experience with a different solicitor) and I felt they were very much working with my interests in mind. Excellent service!
