Client Feedback

"Thank you so much, I am so very happy and I just can’t thank you enough and all of your colleagues at
SD for an outstanding service."

"Sarah, thanks for all your help with this. We have been thoroughly impressed with the service we’ve
received from you throughout the process."

"I would have been at a loss on how to proceed. Stevensdrake made everything so much easier."

"We would like to express our thanks for everything you have done throughout our sale and purchase.
Your service has been first class and is very much appreciated. Thank you again, and we will definitely
recommend you to any friends requiring your services."

"We are longstanding clients of Sarah and have followed her from her previous company. She has
represented us and other family members in numerous transactions over the years and we would not
consider anybody else representing us. We always recommend her without hesitation when anybody
asks for property advice. Sarah is always, proactive, knowledgeable and honest. I work in the
mortgage industry and Sarah was originally recommended to us by a mortgage securitisation client
who had nothing but praise for the service she provided. No matter how difficult an issue arises, Sarah
sets out the options and consequences clearly and concisely so that we can make a decision. We know
that with every transaction Sarah is there moving things forward, representing our interests and we
trust her completely. We know how lucky we are to have Sarah represent us."

"Excellent service constantly provided throughout a lengthy and sometimes complicated buy and sell
of property. Speed, efficiency, professional advice was first class throughout."

"I have always been able to speak to a member of staff. Your listening skills, politeness, helpful attitude
together with friendly attitude have all been very positive. Nothing was too much of a problem or an
issue to get assistance."

"I do not want to let the moment pass without thanking you for your handling of this matter. Over the
years we have had rather mixed experience of high street lawyers, especially in terms of conveyancing.
By contrast your handling of both our abortive sale and this transfer, very ably assisted by Rossina, has
been super; prompt, effective and customer focused. In short the best overall service that we have
faced thus far in many such transactions. So thank you both. We wish you continued success and will
certainly track you down if and when we have another transaction."

"Excellent service from Rossina with a tight deadline that was agreed."

"The service was excellent and always helpful."

"You have been very responsive and have kept us informed throughout the process, which we have
appreciated. We are very happy with the service you have provided and wouldn’t hesitate to come to
you again."

"Excellent communication and professionalism which gave us great confidence in your dealing of a time
pressured sale. Thank you to everyone involved at Stevensdrake."

"There was always a swift response and follow up to any enquiry."

"Have always been very prompt at sending emails, keeping me informed as to what is needed and up
to date on the process."

"You are always reliable, prompt and efficient; attributes greatly appreciated."
