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

Jack at PLS was brilliant from start to finish, he was very responsive and explained everything brilliantly. He always kept us up to date and if something needed to be chased he was always on it! Highly recommend PLS, the portal is a great tool to have!
Georgie
We recently used PLS Solicitors to both sell and buy a property for the second time, and they were brilliant from start to finish. Moving house is never stress-free, but Annabel was absolutely fantastic throughout both of our moves. She consistently communicates, responds quickly to emails and calls, and explains everything clearly. Knowing we were in her safe hands a second time around gave us so much peace of mind. A huge thank you to Annabel and the team—we won't hesitate to come back if we ever move again!
