• I don’t know how many years it is that you have been dealing with the vagaries of our family property dealings. All the way, all the properties, all the deals – nothing has been too much trouble for you. EVEN the 3 deals in one day I charged you with! Remarkable.

  Client quote

• Kate has dealt with several transactions for our family and we are happy that she deals with all aspects, giving us confidence in her and Brachers as a whole.

  David Rafill, Client

• My family have worked with Kate on house sales and purchases since I was a child. We would highly recommend Kate and will always work with her in the future.

  Mr & Mrs Lingfield, Clients

• Experienced and supportive. Felt from the start she would be the best person to help. Her local knowledge could have been vital in that I was abroad. Kate has worked with my family and I before so I was confident Kate would be successful in achieving the sale and find solutions to any problems that might arise.

  Client quote

• Extremely good service, especially as compared with other solicitors.

  Anne Allport, Client
