“The experience I have had in dealing through Michelle Payne has been excellent. I could not fault in any way how well I was treated with the sale of the property and the land sale. Always available to help or guide me and have been truly grateful for all the help I had.”

“As usual, Michele and her team guided us through the process of selling and buying, which although never easy, was made more so with Mayo Wynne Baxters professionalism. We would have no hesitation in using Mayo Wynne Baxter in the future and would recommend them.”

“Michelle and the team at MWB were great, both in the sale and purchase of our house. Which proved slightly more complicated that 1st thought, but they were brilliant. Thank you”

“This is the second time I have used MWB to sell a property in the previous 15 months, having had a great customer experience the first time. Once again I can honestly say that the service received from Michelle, Sally and the team has been outstanding. A clear customer focus and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent communication, flexible to one’s needs and friendly. Other solicitors are of course available but given my experiences with MWB, they are certainly a hard act to follow. Well done and keep up the excellent work.”

“Big thank you to Michelle and Carol for their fabulous support in selling my property. They were always on top of every detail, chased up the buyer whenever necessary, responded to me very promptly – normally within a couple of hours max – with a helpful and proactive answer and generally made a typically-stressful situation run very smoothly and supportively. Thoroughly recommend.”
