Property transfer
My wife and I have used Gaines and Wilkinson for several years now and the reason we go back time after time is because they always deliver and go beyond my expectations. I suffer from anxiety and they put me at ease the staff are friendly and always willing to listen . I am not the easiest person to deal with but Julia and her colleagues really helped me and answered all my questions . I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone needing conveyancing services.

Good solicitor and fast progress
Gaines and Wilkinson has been recommended to me and I must say that I was impressed both with progress in my case and end result.
They have been professional and answered any questions that I had.
The only downside I can think of is that sometimes it may take longer (but not too long) to receive response but this is probably due to amount of work/customers they may have.
