Samantha provided a professional, personable, gaining our trust very early on, she also provided:- 1) Regular communication - responded either by phone or email. (I sent an email on a Sunday morning and Sam replied Sunday afternoon). What other Solicitor would do that! Amazing! 2) Relentless in securing exchange dates, with open and honest dialogue between ourselves and our buyer's Solicitor. 3) Searches and relevant enquiries were reported quickly and effectively. 4) Samantha also kindly intervened in securing a purchase on our next property.
