Myself & my partner can't recommend MB solicitors enough, they made the mortgage switching process a breeze. Michael, offered us a high level of professionalism, knowledge and experience, while making the process simple and understandable. My partner and I took advantage of the Will service available at MB solicitors. Michael, fielded all my stupid questions (much appreciated, sorry again for taking up your time) but this allowed us make informed decisions.Thanks again MB solicitors Team (5/5 experience)

Michael is an outstanding solicitor. He handled the complexities of our property purchase with exceptional care and professionalism, navigating issues involving international banks with varying requirements. From start to finish, Michael guided us through every step of the process, addressing challenges with expertise and ensuring a smooth transition until we received the keys. He is now diligently managing the property registration. Without a doubt, Michael is a top notch dealmaker.
