I used the services of Jess and the team at Laker Legal as a first time buyer looking for properties to buy, near and around Bath.
Jess was fantastic, in her communication during the process as well as her knowledge and ability during the conveyancing process. She helped me make informed decisions and ultimately find and purchase a wonderful home near Bath. Jess is adept at spotting potential issues during a purchase that I believe others may not.
She clearly excels at her craft and you will be in safe hands should you use her services too.
