The whole team did a fantastic job at every stage of our new home purchase. They were always prompt to reply and kept us informed. There were many questions they thought of to confirm with the seller that we didn't consider which gave us a lot confidence in the process. Highly recommend Burgess Thomson for any legal matter!
