Matthew Connolly, Ella Pickup, Rhys Ashton – Conveyancing Dept. 

Russell & Russell was allocated to me due to remortgage. The process was all new to me again as I haven’t remortgaged since I first bought the house in 2005. I am very happy with the communication, and very clear instructions if I needed to supply more details or documents. All replies I received was very quick, even a question after completing was dealt with quickly and providing all the details I needed. I was very happy with the service, I would recommend them to others, and would be very happy to deal with them again.
