• Sara was excellent, we couldn’t have hoped for a more knowledgeable conveyancer to deal with our cases.

  Sophie and Liam Bryan, Clients

• We recently appointed Sara to act on behalf of our management company in relation to house sales/purchases and wish we had done this earlier!

• Sara was fantastic. Always followed up phone calls with emails. Always returned my calls promptly if not available. First class! I have bad experiences in the past with other solicitors / conveyancers so I will be recommending Brachers to friends and family.
