Client testimonials:
"We found Bernadette Kelly to be very professional, understanding, knowledgeable and trustworthy in all aspects of the conveyancing process.When questions were asked the reply forthcoming from Bernadette was quick and fully explained. Bernadette proved to be the calming voice in a process that can only be described as incredibly stressful".
"I will be thoroughly recommending both Bernadette and SMR to other friends and family should they ever need their services."
"Despite numerous set backs, delays and miscommunications from other conveyancers and the estate agent in our sale/purchase chain - Bernadette was fantastic from start to finish. Without her help we would still be waiting on documents and would possibly have lost the buyer on our property and lost the property we were purchasing. Bernadette is extremely thorough, direct and efficient who went above and beyond throughout the entirety of the process."
"Bernadette was the epitome of professionalism and reassurance throughout this hellish house purchase - I highly recommend SMR having been introduced when handling my late fathers estate and have used them for probate, house sale and now my own house purchase in London. Thank you again for your hard work and dedication."
