| About Us |
|
|
Blight, Broad & Skinnard has been established for over 150 years. Based
in Callington, Cornwall we offer professional and up to date advice
to a range of clients from a large geographical area. Our local
knowledge of the Devon/Cornwall border area may be of particular
use to you on some occasions and our general business and professional
experience on others. Our
business is your business.
In this high pressure
profession, we pride ourselves on remaining a family firm, both in
how we treat our staff and view our clients. We are happy to discuss
problems or plans with you in an initial reduced rate interview and
welcome your request for a fixed price quote in property matters.
We are happy
to deal with you in the method you most prefer, whether by email,
by telephone, or by home visits.
