Outstanding service.

I recently sold and bought through Davidson and Shirley. My experience was fantastic and I had regular updates from my solicitor,Laura Frame. Everything was carried out quickly and efficiently and am more than happy to recommend their conveyancing to everyone. Outstanding experience.

Jim, you have been more than just our solicitor. You have been supportive and caring throughout this long journey. We would have been lost without your good advice and kind words.
