Testimonials
Dear Andrew I am delighted to tell you that we have now exchanged on the sale of our property and had no issue with the conveyancing in respect of the resolved land dispute that you acted on for us. Perhaps it’s somewhat prosaic that the agency we have now concurrently purchased our next property from is Martyn Gerrard which is a subsidiary company of Abbeytown Ltd who instigated litigation against us. Without that litigation and your robust defence I am certain that we would not have reached the stage that we are at now and be in the position where we can move on. Therefore rest assured that you have played a large part and you will not be forgotten by us.
Andrew is one of those rare barristers who thinks outside the box in order to achieve the right solution for his client. He is friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommended.
Andrew has successively been ranked as a leading barrister in the Legal 500 directory in the areas of property, professional liability and construction and engineering law: “With a great reputation in construction disputes, Andrew Noble has awealth of relevant experience on a practical level in addition to his legal abilities".
