"I chose Bishopsgate for the conveyancing for purchase of a shared freehold flat on the basis of the competitive price and the good reviews. Jodie was the conveyancer and provided excellent service which lived up to the reviews. Jodie responding to all my emails within a few hours, once she even answered a question on a Sunday afternoon. The whole process went very smoothly apart from a slight delay on exchange day due to one of the other solicitors in the chain not responding in time. Overall I can definitely recommend Bishopsgate for conveyancing."
