Matthew Dunford supported me in buying my first house. I started this transaction at the beginning of COVID 19 lockdown. Whilst it probably wasn’t the best time to be buying a house, the service from the solicitors did not appear to be impacted by this at all. Emails were responded to in a speedy manner, there were no delays in the process and I was kept updated throughout. I haven’t had to chase them for anything, as everything was completed in a good time frame. I have recommended them to friends and would definitely use them again.
