Solo Self Build clients Mr & Mrs Hayward

A great firm from start to end. Staff are wonderful. The back office is so good. Ask for something and it pings into your email within minutes. Value for money is the best without question. This is my second Self Build and the third will be with Solo as a partner. Solo are with out doubt the gold standard in the Self Build business. No one is better.
