Approached GWL and Mark Broughton to conveyance for a house purchase. Helped a lot with making the process seamless for a first time buyer and also really pushed things along to get it over the finish line.

We have used Mark Broughton at GWL Heswall for a number of years for purchase and sale of properties having also recommended him to family and friends. Cannot fault his attention to detail and "sticking" with a case. Our most recent property sale was conducted under the current difficult circumstances due to CV19 with associated delays at Land Registry. Guided through the government guidelines to a successful completion by Mark assisted by Diane Swaine. Well done all round...

Deceased Estate
My father had been a client of Guy Williams as it was originally for about 50 years and after he passed away I asked them to deal with the business of the estate. Throughout the whole process they have been professional, helpful and easy to deal with. They also dealt with the sale of my father's property. I couldn't have asked for a better service and I would recommend them to anyone.

House sale
I have used the services of GWL twice in the last year both to sell and buy property. In all my dealings with the staff they have been professional, informative, keeping me up to date with all developments via email and phone. They have been easy to talk to and no matter how many questions I had they were dealt with efficiently and in a lovely manner.

First Time Buyer
I cannot fault Sarah Walker with the conveyancing process and advice received concerning the purchase of my first home. She was organised, highly efficient, friendly, straightforward and kept in touch about what was happening promptly. Everything was made so much easier as things happened when she said they would. When Sarah was on leave Mark was also great.
Prior to appointing her, she was happy to answer all of my questions, and during the process patiently and professionally responded to queries despite them probably being annoying questions received from every first time buyer. On completion day, when it took several hours longer than expected to get the keys, and it was after 1700 on a Friday evening, Sarah wouldn't go home until she knew I had them. She is supposed to finish at 1430.
If there was something negative I could think of I wouldn't hesitate to be upfront and share, and honestly I cannot think of anything. (And I'm usually the type to find something!)
If you're looking to appoint a conveyancing solicitor I would recommend stopping searching and ask for Sarah at GWL.
