A huge thank you to Alison Beales for quite possibly the smoothest transaction we have had so far. From our first phone call Alison was super helpful and responsive and this continued throughout the process. Alison was very efficient and we were very pleased not to have needed to chase anything up as everything was taken care of within the time frame required. We would not hesitate to use Alison and Leathes Prior again for future purchases. Thank you for a fantastic, stress free experience!
