We have used Talbots for a recent possession order for a property. Their fees were clearly set out and in our opinion were very reasonable. We found the whole process easy to follow and the communication between ourselves and the solicitor could not be faulted in any way. They kept us informed of what was happening and any queries we had were responded to immediately. They ensured all the paperwork required was in order prior to the court application to ensure no delay. We would definitely use Talbots again and recommend them to others.
