10 out of 10 - Superb - 100% satisfaction
Great service from start to finish. PSR did the conveyancing for us on the purchase of our new home. Quick, easy, efficient and by far the least expensive quote we received when looking for solicitors to represent us. Will use again in the future for sure.
I’m incredibly grateful to all at PSR Solicitors. I was sceptical at first of the ‘No Win, No Fee’ basis simply due to never taking legal action before. However, I will have no hesitancy recommending you to other who find themselves in similar circumstances. I’m really pleased with the result.
I have already recommended you to people I know and I would do again in the future. I don't think you could improve your service which was excellent. My thanks to all the staff at Shotton and Wrexham who I have spoken with on several occasions.
I find your service to be highly recommendable. May I say that I am more than pleased with the way you have handled my claim for compensation and I would fully recommend your services to anyone.

The roads offer the best way to get around, with the A55 approximately 25 minutes away. The A55 offers access to Chester, a route to the northern coast of Wales and connections to the M53, allowing access to the M6, via the M56.
Ruthin is home to a number of stylish independent shops, including State of Distress on St Peter’s Square, which has some lovely modern ceramics, jewellery and upcycled homewares, and Ishio which is packed full of stunning Swinging ‘60s interior design pieces, crockery and toys.
As well as having nine places to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, one of which boasts over 15 varieties of scone, there is also a varied selection of places to eat. Two popular eateries are On The Hill and Small Plates, which offer everything from cod bon-bons to complementary carrot and coriander houmous.
Other popular restaurants include the Grade II-listed Georgian Manorhaus, an unlikely and rather splendid boutique hotel, with a fantastic restaurant and cool bar, and the Myddelton Grill on the Square, known locally as Seven Eyes due to its seven roof windows which offer fabulous views over the town.
Largely rebuilt in red sandstone in the 19th century, Ruthin’s medieval castle was transformed into a luxury hotel and spa retreat in 1963. Offering a range of spa days, both guests and non-residents can experience a selection of treatments, as well as enjoy the use of the thermal suite and gym. There are also a number of restaurants in the hotel, popular with both residents of the hotel and locals.
A great way to find out about Ruthin’s history, whilst also enjoying a good walk, is by partaking in the brilliant Ruthin Art Trail.

Another Twenty-two figures are concealed in shopfronts and roofs too. It’s a great way to spend an afternoon and there are photo opportunities aplenty.
Up on Castle Street, the Grade 1-listed house Nantclwyd Y Dre is a fantastic local museum, taking its visitors on a journey through the lives and fashions of the house’s many residents.

Designed by architects Sergison Bates, Ruthin Craft Centre shows the best in national and international contemporary applied arts.
