At Norris & Miles we endeavour, on a sale, to issue contract paperwork or on a purchase, request the paperwork within a day of receipt of the memorandum of sale from the “Estate Agent” and to then review paperwork received and report/raise enquiries or deal with enquiries raised within a day of receipt. We endeavour to keep you and the agents fully informed and up to date by copying you in by email on correspondence with the other solicitors.
Work will be conducted by a fully qualified solicitor or chartered legal executive with many years’ experience and your sale or purchase will be conducted swiftly, efficiently and competently.
Please telephone to discuss your particular sale or purchase and if non-routine, an estimate can be provided for you.
