Big thanks to Laura at Flat Rate Settlements / Curae Law for handling my settlement. She was super organised, clear, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Always quick to respond and explain things in plain English. Really appreciated her help, highly recommend 👍

A great firm with services designed with the needs of their clients in mind. Laura Gaunt was fantastic throughout my buyer’s settlement process, she provided me with helpful information beyond what one would expect, such as a checklist of things to do post-settlement. Laura’s communication was fantastic, she kept me informed and was on top of every aspect of the process, I felt reassured that nothing would be neglected, which was great as a first home buyer who was unfamiliar with the process. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere other than Curae Law and Flat Rate Settlements after this!
