Persistent and straight-talking through a complicated purchase

Nicholas was excellent throughout what turned out to be a genuinely complicated purchase — a bankruptcy sale where the vendors weren't yet registered on title, with a lodgement stuck at Land Registry for months. He chased the trustees and their solicitors persistently when nothing was moving, kept me informed at every stage, and was honest with me even when the answer wasn't what I wanted to hear. He also corrected the record with the vendors when it would have been easier not to. I'd happily deal with him again.
