Client Testimonials

“Simon has provided us with an outstanding level of service, far beyond our expectations. Throughout he has been highly professional, knowledgeable, proficient while maintaining a friendly and approachable manner. At no point did we feel anything other than his priority even though we know he was dealing with a very high case load. We know how difficult this is to achieve and we thank him for everything he has done for us. It was well recognised that buying a new home is a significant life time event but through his excellent communication and timely actions he has made this a simple stress free process. We highly recommend Simon and we will definitely use him again.”

“A very big thank you to Simon for the efficient and professional manner he handled our case.  We are new to UK law and regulations but he was very patient, friendly and helpful.  We knew we were in good hands!”

“When Simon took over from John Robinson I was a little concerned as John had been excellent in all respects. However, I should not have worried as Simon proved to be an equal successor…I would have no hesitation in recommending Simon to look after, and represent any of my friends or acquaintances. Very, very professional, attentive and a credit to Nicholson Portnell”
