I unreservedly recommend this firm

As soon as I knew I was involved in a criminal court case, I contacted Clifford Johnston, my main point of contact being Lina (along with Erik).

From the start, they were extremely professional. All communications were very clear and efficient; I was constantly updated, and they responded quickly to my queries.

And finally, their efforts resulted in me being very happy with the outcome.

I unreservedly recommend this firm.

FTB house purchase in another county

A truly outstanding experience from beginning to end! Having come immediately from a long and drawn-out purchase failure on a previous property caused by our solicitor's incompetence, David's expert handling of our case was exemplary. It felt, at all points, that he had our best interests at heart and never once delayed in responding nor replied with short or cursory messages. When we had confusion around some search results and surveyor recommendations, his legal insight was delivered both with clarity and understanding of our position as FTBs.

It is true that this service is more expensive than some providers in the Didsbury/Heatons area but it is absolutely and completely justified by the standard of practice provided. It truly was fantastic throughout and we are immensely happy with David's skill in bringing our purchase to a successful completion!

Time sensitive documentation

I felt every confidence in dealing with David. He was fantastic in helping me to complete a time sensitive matter. He was professional, courteous and ensured me that he would get this completed in the timeframe given. He delivered on that promise efficiently, minimising stress and ensuring that I was informed throughout the process.
I would not hesitate to recommend David, 100% recommendation.

Conveyancing with ease

We recently had David from Clifford Johnson act for us during the sale of our house. Despite us living abroad David assisted the sale proceeding with ease, answering all our questions promptly, and was very helpful. We would definitely recommend David.

Exceptional solicitor service

David was recommended to us and I am so glad to have met him. He has helped with buying a house last year and selling a flat this year. The process for both of these was smooth, efficient and accurate. David is meticulous with his work and he made sure there were no delays, which was exactly what I needed. I have had a horrible experience in the past with a solicitor who would never reply calls or emails, working with David was exceptional. I will recommend David to anyone. Thank you David!

Chris Furbey completed on our house sale and purchase last week. Throughout the process, Chris was proactive, responsive, and clear in his communication. His expert knowledge and extensive experience ensured things ran smoothly from start to finish, with Chris and colleagues going above and beyond to manage the chain and ensure deadlines were met. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Chris to others and will certainly use Clifford Johnston & Co’s services as required in future.

Clifford Johnson & Co were recommended when I was looking to purchase a new property, following my personal experience, I would have no hesitation engaging their services or recommending them to others.

David who handled my purchase was professional and helpful, responding quickly answering any questions I had along the way.

Many thanks David and Clifford Johnson.

Chris managed the sale of my house on Didsbury Road. Throughout the journey Chris always kept me fully updated with progress & even answered emails well into the evening. The bill for his efforts was also great value which is a plus. Thank you Chris, professional & a great communicator.
