Sarah Hung's Recommendations
'If you want to get your deal done quickly, efficiently and with full communication then Ronald Fletcher Baker is the firm. Ask specifically for Sarah Hung and her team and she will make sure the deal will go through. As for my case on Sharia law lending on a £5m building I believe this was one of the hardest deal to conveyance and has taken six months to conclude; but RFB (Sarah and her team) has been with me all the way even working and taking telephone conferences at midnight to make sure the deal completes in time. I can't thank RFB more - I will definitely be back with more business.' - Jonathan, YuGroupCorporation
