Eleanor was fantastic in our conveyancing. She provided a great and personable service and we were ready to move months before the rest of the chain as she was very proactive in her approach. Highly recommend her and Keystone Law.

Eleanor was amazing with a legal transaction last year. She took care of everything, explained everything and dealt with the land registry when they made an error. I cannot recommend her highly enough. You get a really personal service from Eleanor and I have 0 hesitation to say you will not be disappointed if you appoint her.

I also just wanted to say thank you very much. You've been great; very professional (I know that's your job!) but also very approachable which is really important to me when dealing with areas of business that I don't have a great deal of understanding on. You've been really clear in explaining everything to me so thanks! I will certainly be recommending you to anyone who needs your services in the future.
