Exceptional service from Gardner Leader, in particular from Cate B. We engaged Gardner Leader at the peak of COVID in 2020 and were concerned with the delays that some people had been experiencing in their purchase and sale. We had absolutely no reason to worry at all. Cate and her colleagues, Heather and Jo, offered us outstanding and responsive service. At no point were we, or our chain, waiting for our solicitors in order to progress unlike the rest of the chain and we never needed to chase Cate or the rest of the team. They were extremely knowledgable and helpful, going out of their way to respond to our queries (of which there were many!)
When deciding on our conveyancer, we knew Gardner Leader were not the cheapest option available but absolutely understood that you get what you pay for. In the end, we made the decision based on reviews and the initial call back we received from Cate which was informative, helpful and polite and was quickly after we enquired.
We have heard many horror stories with conveyancers, especially with people looking to save money by engaging a cheap option and receiving sub-standard service. This is not an issue whatsoever at Gardner Leader as the team clearly take pride in helping their clients.
Cate is an absolute credit to the company and we have recommended her to anyone we can get to listen! We will be returning to Gardner Leader for our future transactions.

It was very impressed with and grateful for the efficient and careful way Cate and Tom handled the sale of my late father's property. There is a strong 'team ' approach in evidence which meant that every query was quickly resolved.

We had wonderful service from all involved with our property sale at Gardner Leader. The whole process was managed very efficiently from first enquiries to completion. We were kept informed of progress at all times, and were made aware of any issues which were quickly and efficiently resolved. We have no hesitation in recommending Gardner Leader Residential team for all property matters and certainly will return as clients should the need arise in the future.

I have moved house several times and have never had such a good experience as this time. Cate and the team are really fantastic. Very fast at responding, great to talk to on the phone and very knowledgeable. I cannot praise you enough, you make a stressful process as easy and smooth as possible. I will always highly recommend you. I want to mention that Jo and Heather were also brilliant. I would definitely use your services again!
