“I have found Anthony Harper’s settlement services to be best-in-market when it comes to both reliability of settlement process and assisting with monitoring the future cashflows of our village. The settlement team has always offered a seamless and reliable service and their knowledge of the sector and process in general provides a high degree of comfort that no issues will occur with our settlements.
"The Villageinfonet product is market-leading; not only does it provide our village with an easy-to-use system to store and refer to village resident documentation and key information, but it assists greatly with forecasting short-term cashflow by providing weekly summaries as to what settlement activity is upcoming, from resident cooling off periods starting/ending to what conditional and unconditional settlements are scheduled. I can't imagine operating a village without this product and service."
