Cons:

  • "The whole process was longer and more stressful than it needed to be."
  • "Our buyer used Battrick Clark for conveyancing and they were the sole reason our sale completion was delayed by a number of weeks."

  • "Would not even see me unless I paid the rest up front on the spot."
  • "Appalling... treated like a criminal."
