All the staff were very helpful and dealt with any questions we had promptly. Both the property we sold and the property we bought were finalized in a timely manner.
For my first experience purchasing property, the team at Johnston Withers made it an enjoyable and stress free process. Thank you so much for the valued assistance during the process.
We engaged Johnston Withers as our conveyancers. Although we didn't end up settling the property they were very good to deal with and provided excellent advice. Would highly recommend.
Amazing experience. Super helpful and put us at ease for buying our first home! Every question I asked was answered and I felt very supported with the paperwork side of things.
