Client Testimonials
We recently used Donna Taylor and Tamasin Curtis from Nexa to help us with a complicated house move involving selling two houses, buying one and navigating through a Trust during the process. Both were absolutely excellent, knowledgeable, efficient and easy to work with. I would highly recommend the both, and (knowing a further couple of solicitors from Nexa through, business networking) believe the standard of Nexa’s team to be of the highest calibre. Highly recommended.
