Many thanks to Anne at David Gray Solucitors for her help with buying and selling a house on my Mum’s behalf. Given I was using a Power of Attorney and trying to do this from overseas I was unsure if anyone would be able to help, but Anne and her team made it all so easy. Having struggled in the past to get solicitors to respond to me I was very impressed by how responsive and proactive Anne was in handling my case. She was both friendly and professional, and I have complete confidence in her. I strongly recommend David Gray Solicitors to anyone looking for legal help.

We have just completed a house sale and purchase and this is the second time that Cliff Veitch... has dealt with our affairs. As before, he dealt with both sale and purchase in a very efficient manner and always kept us informed of progress and any issues that arose. His calm and professional manner helped enormously during some of the trickier moments. I can certainly highly recommend him.

I can't praise Kay enough for the two conveyancing cases she handled for me. She always updated me as soon as there was more information and was proactive in following up with the mortgage company and other solicitors (which she had to do lots). Kay couldn't have been more helpful and patient... Well above what I expected. She was very reassuring to talk to and knows what she's talking about. Will definitely use David Gray again.
