I had the most amazing experience with Leanne Scott's property team. I was in a chain that was just about to collapse and the girls chased all the queries so I exchanged and completed within 48 hours. Although it got really tense at the end as exchange was just after Bank holiday and their phones and computers were down they stayed calm and collected so we completed on time. I will definitely use them again. Keep up the great work!

Using these at the moment for a house move, this started at the beginning of the year, we are rapidly approaching June and I'm still waiting for a completion date! Very poor communication and at this rate the whole deal will collapse, hoping by posting on here they might move a bit quicker! I will post more if/after the purchase ever happens! Really disappointed and only used these on the recommendation of the estate agents, not happy one bit! Update!

Beginning to think this is one complete wind up now, was told it had completed for 31st May, booked removals, arranged for gas and electricity to finish only to be told the day before from the other side that they had received no information about this! All cancelled at my time and cost, total joke! I would like to ask if they honestly think I should pay all, if any, fees for there service?

I would totally recommend their conveyancing services. Michelle and Julie been both great in dealing with my purchase. They were very responsive in any updates that I needed to be aware of. They made what was an upsetting time stress free. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you for everything.

The process of selling my house went smoothly and completed on the date we agreed. A big thank you to Charles who answered every query I asked and was very professional.
