We want to express our gratitude and thank you for your professionalism and commitment in completing our apartment purchase transaction in such a smooth manner. Had it not been for your focused effort, we are sure the process would have taken longer. We will certainly recommend and convey your details to friends of ours who are looking to buy or sell their properties.

Thank you for doing everything involved with transferring my late mother’s Spanish property to me and dealing so quickly with the subsequent sale My family’s English solicitor and I certainly couldn’t have managed it without your support. The advice we received from the Spanish lawyers we first contacted was confusing. The communication difficulties prompted us to seek your specialist advice and you simplified things straight away. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family with overseas property.

I've never bought a lawyer flowers and fizz before, but felt compelled to do so for Colleen Gostick after she successfully concluded a hugely complex and deeply frustrating leasehold transaction. After a period of consultation to work out what our objectives were, Colleen consistently and steadily worked towards that goal. Throughout the process she was always available to talk and did a fantastic job of keeping most of the stressful elements of the deal away from my daily life. Always professional, dedicated and charming, it has been an absolute pleasure to work with her and I couldn't recommend her more highly to prospective clients.

We would like to let you know what a huge support Monica has been to us during the 18 months it has taken to resolve the issues around the sudden death in Italy of our son and daughter in law. It is not just the clarity with which she explained what was happening and what we needed to do but it was also her kindness, sympathy and consideration which were such a help through such a difficult situation. From the first telephone call only days after we had heard about Tom and Laura’s deaths through to supporting our contact with an Italian advocate around the compensation claim at the end of last year she has always been available, giving us information and promptly answering any queries. Her knowledge and expertise along with her personal kindness helped us through the most difficult time in our lives. We would also like to say that everyone else in the firm who communicated with us was efficient and caring.

Your undoubted tenacity in achieving the goal clearly made for as-smooth-a process as we could have asked for, something we were grateful for. Your Company was selected on the recommendation of another of your customers, and well-founded it was for anyone wanting to “make the sale happen
