Feedback for Louise
“We used Truemans for our house sale as they were recommended by the estate agent and we were so impressed that we used them for the following purchase. I was a little concerned that they may have prioritised the agent’s customers and that we would end up on the back burner but not a bit of it. Louise was attentive, responsive, and thoroughly professional throughout, and a pleasure to work with. They clearly had a heavy workload, what with covid and the housing boom, and from her emails it was clear that she was working well into the evening, but everything happened exactly as it should. We were so impressed that we will now be using them for all our other legal work. Thoroughly and unhesitatingly recommended – a real find.”
