I was up against a very short deadline (2 months) to complete and exchange before the 1st April increase in stamp duty. Millie Lamb proved to be very proactive in dealing with the many problem areas that arose, particularly given the seller lived in Australia. There were a number of occasions when the sale stalled and had Millie not intervened we would have missed the date at some considerable cost to ourselves. Her enthusiasm and energy together with a 'will sort it out' approach was very much appreciated. Thank you.
