“My husband and I received a professional, extremely efficient, friendly and helpful conveyancing service from Steve Watson at the Louth office. Steve went that 'extra mile' to ensure we had a stress free service and house move, for which we would like to say a very big thank you. We are especially grateful to him as during the move I was away caring for my father during his end-of-life cancer treatments, leaving my husband to deal with the house purchase alone. Steve was mindful and empathetic of our situation, and was especially helpful during this period. Thank you Bridge McFarland and to Steve Watson who is a credit to your company.”
