Having Bea to help us on our journey of buying our first house was fantastic, nothing was to much trouble and she was always had time to help and explain anything we struggle with, I would highly recommend Parfitt Cresswell and especially Bea Campbell.

Excellent service from Jo Martin and her assistant Mandy Hinton at the Reading office on the sale of my elderly mother's house. Since neither party was in a chain, exchange and completion happened smoothly within just a couple of weeks. Communication was good and I would certainly recommend Jo and Mandy.

Outstanding Service from a Top Professional
I have been delighted with every aspect of Gwen’s handling of the sale of my sister's flat. Her communication has been excellent and her response time to queries has been exceptional. My interests have been at the forefront of everything she has done. Thank you so much Gwen.

I had the pleasure of working with Gwen Li and the team at Parfitt Cresswell for the purchase of my first property, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support. What can often be a complicated and overwhelming process was made incredibly smooth and stress-free thanks to their professionalism and clear communication. Gwen & Patuni, in particular, were fantastic—knowledgeable, approachable, and always happy to explain things in a way that made sense. I felt well-informed and confident every step of the way. I highly recommend Gwen and the Parfitt Cresswell team to anyone looking for a reliable and professional legal service.

I was recommended Parfitt Cresswell through my parents who sold a property a few years ago.
I was undergoing a transfer of equity to an ex partner, Gwen and Patuni helped me along the way. Fantastic service from start to finish. I would definitely recommend and will certainly be using the firm if needed in future.
Thank you Gwen and thank you Patuni!
