Excellent and professional service for both the sale of our house and purchase of our next. We were able to deal with most things remotely and initially from overseas.

I chose Gardner Leader based on the strength of online reviews and poor experience with my previous solicitors. I'm very happy with this choice as I was dealt with in a friendly and timely manner and kept informed throughout.

Stephanie was very friendly and informative. She made sure all the details were explained, so the documents weren't overwhelming to go through. I would highly recommend her and the Gardner Leader team.
