Cannot recommend Sian and Base Law enough. Buying my first home was intense, yet Sian made it understandable and fun. I never felt stupid, misinformed, or underinformed. I trusted Sian, and she not only gave great advice, she ensured I knew from the start that there was a first-home-buyer package for legal services. Having seen what some are being charged, if you are first-home-buyer, contact Sian and the team at Base Law FIRST. Thank you Sian, you and your team are genuinely awesome and worth your weight in gold!
Sian was so easy to deal with and also replied so quickly to my emails. I had a very quick turnaround required to update trustee details and change banks for my mortgage, and this wasn't an issue at all for her. Sian communicated clearly what I needed to do, advised realistic timeframes (especially important since there were third parties involved), answered all my questions and ensured I knew what the process was and where everything was at. I really appreciate everything Sian did to get this across the line as quickly as she did. I highly recommend Sian and will continue using her for all my legal requirements.
Sian and the team at Base Law literally changed my life during tough times through separation and navigating the pathway of having to start again. Everything was well taken care of and the legal advice received was sound. I am extremely grateful for the thorough and robust services Base Law have provided with expertise and care. I cannot recommend Sian highly enough and Base Law will remain my trusted 'go to' Counsel for any future legal matters.
