We felt safe in the hands of Photiades from start to finish and were amazed with their professionalism.
Rowan, Google ReviewThank you for all your expertise and advice. You have answered all our questions and made the process of buying our first home smooth and enjoyable.
Charlotte, Google ReviewPhotiades were excellent. They were both friendly and efficient and made moving house a very easy process. Photiades also did my mother’s will and she was very happy with the service. I would highly recommend them.
Bob, Google ReviewI used Photiades for conveyancing when selling my house. They provided an excellent service and I would recommend the firm.
