Chris Pleasants at Farnfields did the conveyancing for my property when I bought it over a decade ago and more recently when I sold it. I can highly recommend Chris and his team at Farnfields. Chris’s experience and problem-solving skills were invaluable, and I was grateful for his calm guidance throughout the process. I found it easy to communicate with Chris and felt fully supported by him and his team.
