Review update - 5 Stars

If I have been impressed with a business I do take the time to write a review but only the one. I am so impressed with the consistently high level of service I have received from Nash & Co that I am now submitting my third review! Over the years I have used Nash & Co for Wills, probate, selling a house, buying a house, selling my shares in a business and most recently, inheritance. In particular, I would highly recommend David Cornelius and Amy Douch. Their professionalism, knowledge, skill, interest, friendliness plus availability is outstanding. At no time have I felt hurried and I have always felt confident to ask for clarification when things were not clear to me. As I previously wrote, this is my third review and I have taken time to write it because I wanted to highlight the consistently high standard of service - thank you David and Amy. When I use Nash & Co I am confident that my matter is in the best (and safe) hands. (I am not related to any member of staff!)

First class service

The time had come to review the wills David and Claire had prepared for us four years ago. What a pleasure to be able to have a pleasant and easy going conversation and expert advice, in plain English, from the same highly professional team, followed up by prompt action and dispatch of our now updated wills. Many thanks.

Probate & House Repossession Issue

My family were actually advised to contact Nash & Co via another Solicitors firm and we are grateful for the recommendation. We were given full advice on how to proceed with our issue in a professional yet friendly manner. In particular we would like to express our thanks to David Cornelius, he had to explain some very complex issues in laymen's terms so that we could fully understand our options. He liaised with other agencies to ensure he had a full understanding of our situation so that he could advise us on the best possible way forward whilst also explaining the positives and negatives of each option. This allowed my family to make a fully fact provided decision on a rather difficult situation. I would happily advise anyone who has need of either Probate or Disputes with companies related to this particular especially if like us they are in the situation of an intestate will. Equally should we need any further guidance we will contact them in the future. Thank you David for all of your help it is very, very much appreciated.

A thoroughly professional and very friendly service. There was always someone on the end of the phone and advice and help was always forthcoming. I would recommend Nash and Co if asked.

This was a completely outstanding experience for me in Canada. Nash & Co. handled a sudden family death and their estate in the UK with efficiency, integrity and honesty. From the first phone call I was advised in a professional and understanding manner by David Cornelius, Partner & Solicitor, who put me at ease as he explained that they could handle everything. To my relief he was true to his word. For all that was involved I found the cost reasonable and I would highly recommend this law firm.

David and Claire were extremely helpful in administering my mother’s Grant of Probate. From our initial meeting with David, who explained the process and advised on our situation, to Claire, who responded quickly to any queries and was very efficient in finalising this matter for us. Many thanks.

I recently used Nash & Co. for advice on and drafting documentation to resolve some complex trust law and inheritance tax issues. David Cornelius and Amy Douch were good communicators and gave excellent advice - and after careers in both accountancy and the law I know the difference between good and bad in this field! They gave reasonable fixed fee quotes and completed the work promptly. I would definitely use them again. I also used Nash & Co.'s conveyancing team for the sale of a residential property owned by the family trust. Conveyancing is a bit of a commodity product and it is difficult to differentiate between firms. The team of Amy Paterson, James Kerswill and Amanda Pickman stand out for their prompt, clear advice and speedy turnaround of documents and enquiries. If one member was away from the office another could, and did, pick up the file and do whatever was needed to prevent the sale from stalling. This was clearly not happening with the solicitors used by the purchaser. Nash & Co. were not the cheapest quote I obtained for the sale but given their performance I would say their fee was good value.

A representative from Nash & Co Solicitors LLP responded to this review

John, thank you so much for the review, the fantastic comments and the ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!! The teams will both be delighted to hear your comments and we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a 5* combined review. This will no doubt give anyone reading your review a really good background to how we work here at Nash. Our teams will always go above and beyond for our clients, and one thing that we really pride ourselves on is the speed and the communication that we give clients. You should never have to chase us. We aim to provide a very thorough and efficient service, for a reasonable fee. I'm really glad that it sounds like this is the service that you received. We'd never want to be the cheapest quote, as we find with law, you often get what you pay for. We want to give the very best service that we can, for fair and reasonable fee. It's so good to hear that you were happy with everything that the teams did for you, and that the individuals you named did a really good job. Again, we really appreciate you leaving such positive feedback and comments. This kind of review means the world to us as a firm and to the individuals you named. Thank you.
