Flat rate settlements have just helped us with the purchase of a property. They did an excellent job with the settlement. Laura Gaunt was easy to work with – friendly, professional, happy to explain things when I had questions, kept me up to date with everything and provided a quality service as the settlement agent. I thoroughly recommend Flat Rate Settlements to all who are considering using them.

Just viewed my bank account…… It’s done! Was quite the experience and only possible with your professional guidance and assistance. You’ve informed and educated me along the way not to mention your patience and tolerance when I failed to cope with some unforeseen and unexpected events. My apologies for this. I look forward to receiving your final Statement and correspondence.
