Eden Conveyancing are proud to help with the legal side of selling and buying a house.
"We were anxious about finding a good conveyancer due to reading many poor reviews online, and thankfully Eden turned out to be everything we could have wanted! Responsive, organised, and helpful. As first time buyers, they made us feel that no question was silly, and were happy to answer all our queries. They weren't the cheapest quote we obtained but they also were nowhere near the most expensive. We were advised in advance of an additional search we needed and the cost that this would involve, and our final bill was exactly our quote + that additional search. So nothing hidden and unexpected. Would absolutely use Eden again and thoroughly recommend! Thank you guys for making the process as painless as it could be. "
