We used PLS as on the recommended panel from our developers to part exchange our house for a new build. We dealt with Clare who was always on hand to answer our questions, and very helpful to get our sale and purchase over the line. During the process we spoke to Clare many times over the phone, where it was never to much hassle and she was very understanding of our situation.

Our experience with PLS, particularly Matt Howard, has been nothing short of fantastic. After what has been such a stressful transaction, thanks to our Buyer's Solicitors, Matt has worked tirelessly to get both our Sale and Purchase properties over the line and in record time at that! A massive thank you to Helena Brady too who stepped in whilst Matt was on annual leave and kept us fully updated as to the progress on both files. Thank you for all your hard work. I know its been incredibly frustrating at times dealing with other Law Firms who are just not as pro-active and on the ball as PLS, but we got there in the end, thanks to your hard work! We cannot thank you enough and would reccomend Matt to anyone looking for a Conveyancer who will guide them through a sale or purchase transaction.

It was my first experience and was very nervous about selection of solictors, however my friend referred me to PLS. The entire experience has been very professional and support has been exceptional from every member i dealt with, special thanks to Gemma for her focussed attention for the case and handling countless queries from our end. This has been truly great experience with ps and would highly recommend them as true professionals
