Andrea James, Andrew Darwin & Anna McKibbin
“Highly recommend when buying a property. Kate Hathaway provided a great personal service. She was thorough and diligent, and explained everything very clearly. This meant I was able to have a full understanding of the process and make informed decisions. Couldn’t have been better. Many thanks. ”
- Alexandra Brown, Client
“Kate Hathaway has been unwaveringly impressive from the start of this process to the very end. Her replies to my (and the other side's) enquiries have been consistently swift and her advice has transcended the usual range of legal matters, demonstrating superhuman patience, wisdom and strategic foresight in the face of her unnecessarily provocative and at times utterly infuriating opposite number. I cannot rate her and Keystone, with whom this is now my second experience, highly enough. If there were an extra star on here, I would click it! Thank you for guiding me through this!”
- Sam, Client
