I cannot speak too highly of the work of Tiffany Whitwam and Bailey Smailes, who undertook the conveyancing of my sale and purchase. Tiffany is kind, helpful, meticulous and - above all, during a very stressful process - calm and reassuring. She responds to queries promptly and helped me navigate through some bewildering complexities and I am extremely grateful to her. Oh, and if that wasn't enough, their fees are very good value, too. I recommend them without hesitation
