Testimonials

"Olivia was a very friendly and calming voice at the end of the phone, she explained everything well in a manner that I could understand especially on the complex nonstandard items. She would often keep me updated long after the working day and made sure to let me know if she would not be available for any length of time. Despite an office move and the tax year changes Olivia went above and beyond to meet the deadline we had set for completion. Olivia is a credit to your company, and I thank her for her time and efforts on our case."


‘ I work mostly with James Steward, who provides us with an excellent service.’


'David Marsh is our commercial solicitor and has been for many years. Utterly efficient, committed and professional. Fees are agreed in advance and he is always extremely prompt with delivering the service we require.'


'As with all law firms, it is not the brand, but the individuals. I have no hesitation in leaving any law firm to follow the solicitor, because we trust the solicitor not the brand.'


"I would have no hesitation in recommending Hunt & Coombs to family and friends. You delivered an outstanding service."


"Abbie was professional and timely especially in a delicate situation. I will always recommend and will be my first choice. I have engaged Abbie's services in both personal and business capacity and was extremely satisfied with both. "


"Your services were supper professional and much appreciated. I'll be happy to recommend you to my clients as well."

"Clients praise Chalmers for her ‘expertise and attention to detail', which are 'second to none'."


Olivia Chalmers with whom we worked made the property sale so straightforward and she guided us, with her expertise to a satisfactory conclusion."


We have used your company on a number of occasions and have always found Hunt & Coombs to be very professional.
