James Gostling and Boyletts law gave us fantastic service.
James helped sell my Mother’s house.
He was proactive and made the process seamless from our side.
We have used Boyetts Law three times. For this, getting probate and doing our wills.
Each time they were efficient, friendly, professional and competitively priced.
They made stressful legal issues easy.
Thank you.

FROM THE ENQUIRY TO COMPLETION OF THE WORK JAMES AND THE RECEPTIONIST GAVE ME CONFIDENCE THAT THEY NEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. They were flexible with times and very fast.

Exceeded my expectations
From the beginning to the end of the sales process for my house, James Gostling provided excellent communication even to the extent of continuing to oversee the crucial exchange of contracts stage while on holiday. I don’t know how many house sales he was managing at the same time as mine, but nothing seemed to interfere in his keeping me - and my estate agent - updated. He really has been a pleasure to do business with and I am happy to recommend him.
