Mile Moser handled the sale and purchase of our properties, and guided us through to a quick and successful completion. Ian, supported by Indiah, kept us incredibly well informed and clearly explained the process and information which was really appreciated. Thanks so much - we would definitely recommend Milne Moser and intend to use them in the future as needed.

I have used Milne Moser Solicitors for almost 30 years! In that time I have bought and sold a lot of properties - moved house 7 times in 5 years at one point! Milne Moser are proper 'old school' solicitors who look out for their clients with care and integrity. They do their absolute best for their clients and I heartily recommend them to anyone who wants to be treated with respect and get excellent service.
They are very knowledgable and I am particularly grateful to Justine for her advice and guidance over the past year. I think it is a separate but linked business - I also recommend Milne Moser Estate Agents - if you are looking to sell they are great and very professional.
