‘Superbly sharp minds giving fast, effective and reliable advice.’
‘Readily available to response to email and telephone queries. Sharp and insightful advice conveyed in a comprehendible manner.’
‘We have used various departments of Penningtons (some at remote offices) for over ten years. We have always found the advice we have received to be of the highest standard, delivered in a confident, personable and friendly manner.’
‘Whilst it is perhaps invidious to single out individuals, we have found Graham Dixon in particular and Sam Davies to have been outstanding. This in no way reflects on the complete professionalism we have found from every single individual we have dealt with.’
‘A very personable team of highly knowledgeable individuals that will diligently apply themselves to every instruction and want to understand the nuances of each instruction to ensure they can add maximum value and tailored advice to each scenario. I'd highly recommend to anyone seeking representation in property.’
‘Great communication skills, strong team with modern technology. Never forget the need for the personal touch, though.’
