WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Taylor Walton were superb – answered emails and phone calls quickly and kept us in the loop of what was going on. After hearing so many house buying horror stories, I just assumed all solicitors were rubbish but Taylor Walton were genuinely great. A big thank you to Justine and Katherine. – 5* Google

Fantastic experience with Justine and Katherine. Great communication throughout really made the process of selling my house as stress-free as it could’ve been. Highly recommended! – 5* Google

Justine Simms and Katherine Bull acted for myself and my wife buying a new build property. Due to putting our deposit on early in the construction schedule the transaction lasted for ten months from November to July! The legal team acting for the developer caused a few challenges and delays but Justine and Katherine overcame every issue with amazing tenacity. Justine and Katherine provided a level of conveyance service that continually had a 100% attention to finite detail. – 5* Google

Justine Simms & Katherine Bull have acted on our behalf on purchasing our first property for the past 12 weeks. They have been amazing throughout this whole process and kept excellent communication with us. We were new to all this and they understood that and took time to explain everything so carefully and detailed. They went above and beyond with all the works that they had carried out and kept us in the loop. Apologies again Katherine for the many many phone calls but thank you for all of your help and making this process a pleasant experience. – 5* Google

My wife and I would highly recommend Justine Simms and Katherine Bull at Taylor Walton to anyone buying a property.
