From start to finish every member of the team was amazing. Cripps managed to help me navigate a complex lease extension, flat sale and house purchase that would be beyond many firms' ability. Throughout the entire process they explained every step in clear detail and offered support whenever needed. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

As always, a true professional and ever comforting voice of reason and ultimate inspiration. Thanks a million for your wonderful efficiency, ever present kindness, guidance and attention to details.

Hand the problem over to Zainab, and in that instant you no longer have a problem, but the certainty of achievement. Zainab is wise and experienced in all property matters, with the protection of her clients’ interests held close to her heart and mind.

I genuinely believe that one of the most remarkable qualities anyone can possess is their ability to gift calm during chaos and induce hope in times of despair. Zainab possesses this quality in abundance which can only be attributed to her amazing personality exuding total trust, radiating complete competence, and completing the picture with copious amount of diligence and efficiency.

With Zainab managing the case , you are assured of being successful with your transaction. More importantly, you are in the capable hands of a trusted adviser.
