My clients love what I do

“Our tenants would not leave after a formal request. We were recommended to Churchers by a friend. We did consider a fixed price internet company for this but were very glad we did not. Ian Heal and his team did an excellent job with all the legal proceedings and gave great advice and support. We have now got our property back in a reasonable amount of time thanks to Ian and Churchers”
