We used Fitzhugh Gates for a recent house sale, which was handled by Bethany Jones. Bethany was a pleasure to deal with, friendly and quick to reply to us on any requests or queries. The sale was put through in super quick time, thank to Bethany’s attention and competence. We would certainly recommend Fitzhugh Gates and Bethany!

I recently employed the services of Carla at Fitzhugh Gates for conveyancing on the purchase of my first property.
I found Carla to be professional, responsive and extremely knowledgeable. She has an excellent eye for detail and made sure to keep me updated on what was particularly difficult and long winded purchase.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use Carla and Fitzhugh Gates again.

I myself have used Fitzhugh Gates many times over the years. From the purchase of properties, probate and even in a very very difficult dispute. Julian who is the Partner and the colleagues he engaged to assist in this matter were just simply fantastic. Once the button was pushed the matter was wound up and over very quickly. Which was beneficial so that we could move on with our lives. As I have had great success with them the team are in the processes of another property deal for my family, we look forward to that being completed very soon. A great company that do care.

We used Fitzhugh Gates recently when buying and selling property. We found Moira to be professional but personable with a great sense of humour. She remained calm throughout and took time to explain any issues that we encountered. Would highly recommend and would use again.

I've used Fitzhugh Gates to buy/sell twice now and this last time is was more complicated because we had a number of aborted sales/purchases due to matters beyond our control. But Moira was very supportive throughout with her keen eye for detail and good humour during a stressful time. Also we considered the overall fee to be very reasonable.
