Outstanding service, smooth and stress-free purchase

I couldn't be happier with the service I received during the purchase of my flat. David was absolutely amazing, professional, efficient, and always quick to respond to any questions I had. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and I felt suported every step of the way. I highly recommend him and the firm for anyone looking for a reliable and responsive solicitor. Thank you for such a great experience!

Reliable, quick responding, helpful end to end experience

Really pleased with the experience I had with Clifford Johnston and with David Oldham. He replied straight away, cared about helping me through the process, was very straight forward to deal with, and supported me in the process of having to change the house I purchased. Really would recommend him - nothing was too much hassle to handle

First Class Service

From start to finish, Lina and Erik made me feel relaxed and always kept me upto date with everything I needed to know how my case was going. I have to give a special mention to Erik, for me I don't think I'd have made it through everything without his constant attention to detail and relaxed attitude that always kept me at ease. I can't thank Clifford and Johnston enough for what they did, and instructing my barrister Tom also. I can't recommend them all highly enough.

Chris was absolutely brilliant. I came to CJ Law after having to fire my first conveyancer due to so many errors and poor communication. As soon as Chris took over, he had achieved more in pne week than my previous had in six. It was quick and efficient and the communication was faultless - any worries were calmed immediately. Would highly recommend

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.
