Report
Bury and hiltons staff are all Very polite and extremely helpful. We purchased a house through them and we had issues with our own solicitors (don't get me started) and bury and hilton kept both myself and my partner updated as well as the vendors solicitors which was above and beyond their own job. I can't recommend them enough as if it wasn't for them I'm sure we would of lost out on the house, due to our useless solicitor.
