We are in Plymouth but use Merryn from Paul Finn as she is excellent, friendly, speedy and thorough, thank you again! (5th transaction and last time hopefully. Not sure I have another house move in me!)

Paul Finn Solicitors couldn't have been more professional, helpful, efficient and pleasant when dealing with the complex sale of our house. We cannot praise them highly enough; it has been an absolute pleasure to do business with them. Merryn, who dealt with our sale, along with her secretary Natasha, have been utterly brilliant. We cannot thank them enough.

Seeing that there was only one bad review, I thought I'd better leave my own experience here. Have used twice in the buying and the selling of a property. All appeared well however when selling the property the solicitor stated that mistakes had been made the first time and she gave us a discount because of it. Have found them to be friendly, professional and certainly in the case of the second time, extremely thorough.

The Most dishonest member of the legal service that I have had the misfortune to deal with. Please be very careful this company sends out invoices 9 years after they carried out work and 10 years after they have given a estimate., The estimates they give are not worth the paper they are written on the actual bill that I had to pay was three times the estimate Estimate given by Paul Finn 10,000 Actual amount that I had to pay him 10 years later a whopping 33,000
