Oliver&Co: Thank You Very Much Hope Gill-Daindith & Anna Clare

I don't usually write reviews. I only take the time to do so when someone has made a truly significant impact on my life, and in this case, it is thoroughly deserved. Hope Gill-Daintith and Anna Clare make a wonderful team. For several months, I had been silently struggling with work-related stress. Sometimes, when you're going through a difficult period, it can feel as though there is nowhere to turn for help. That's when I reached out to Oliver & Co. I had previously dealt with the firm when they represented the buyer of a property I sold, and that positive experience gave me confidence to contact them again. From the moment I called, Anna was kind, compassionate, and incredibly helpful. She made me feel listened to and supported from the very beginning. I then met Hope Gill-Daintith, for whom I have the highest respect. Hope not only helped me take an important step forward but also referred me to a specialist employment lawyer when appropriate. When I met her in person, she provided honest, professional, and clear advice, helping me understand my rights and the options available to me. Her guidance gave me the confidence and clarity I desperately needed during a very challenging time. As I write this review, I have already returned to Hope and Anna for assistance with another matter. The fact that I came back to Oliver & Co within just three weeks speaks volumes about the trust and confidence they inspire. Their commitment to delivering the highest standards of service is evident, and they genuinely make the process as straightforward and stress-free as they promise. Thank you, Hope Gill-Daintith, for being such a positive influence during a difficult period in my life. I have no doubt that you will continue to make a difference in the lives of many others. To everyone at Oliver & Co, thank you for building such an exceptional team. Every member of staff, including the wonderful reception team, made me feel welcome, respected, and valued throughout my experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Oliver & Co to anyone seeking professional, compassionate, and trustworthy legal support. Oliver&Co doesn't charge you for speaking to you like many firms in the UK.

I dealt with Sian and Adam to update my Will. They were very kind and understanding. They explained the terms of my Will in full before I signed it. It took less than a week for my updated Will to be drafted and signed. I would highly recommend Oliver & Co.

We recently used Oliver & Co for two significant milestones, completing on our new home and writing our wills — and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The team was professional, thorough, and reassuring throughout what can be quite a stressful process. Communication was clear and timely, and we always felt well informed at every stage. It's rare to find a firm that handles both conveyancing and estate planning with such care and attention to detail. We'd have no hesitation recommending Oliver & Co to anyone looking for a solicitor they can genuinely trust. We'll certainly be returning for any future legal needs. Thank you to the whole team.

We used Oliver & Co to complete our conveyancing for our first home together and overall our experience was excellent. From sale agreed on 28th February to completed by the 8th May, it was efficient, fuss free, and a big success thanks to Elan, Georgia and the team. We also used their services for a declaration of trust and so we thank Liv and the team for this also. Really highly recommend, always quick to respond and the app to track progress was excellent. Many thanks! Phoebe & Thomas

Dog Attack

After going through a frightening dog attack, I needed support I could trust — and this team were incredible. They stepped in straight away, took control of everything, and made sure I was treated fairly from start to finish. They were firm when they needed to be and kept me updated every step of the way. Their work resulted in compensation that genuinely reflected what I went through. If you need solicitors who care, who listen, and who get results, I can’t recommend them enough.

I wouldn't recommend this company in Chester for conveyancing. My experiences have been extremely poor. I did not find a particularly personal service. The conveyancer didn't fully introduce themselves at the outset, instead just explaining that they would be managing the case and asking for documents. It was difficult to receive an explanation of the process. And when the Trainee moved to another department there was no prior explanation that the case would be taken over by another colleague. Emails were often abrupt and when trying to explain about some of my concerns I received defensive responses and deflecting it on me. I originally asked to speak with a Manager on 26th May and I am still waiting. I have also since been told that as my purchase has stalled as the vendors have lost their own sale - I would incur a abortive fees of £350 plus VAT, I can find no record of this fee in any quotations I received.

We have just bought our forever home and Lisa Aston supported us with the sale of our house and our onward purchase. Lisa was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She is always one step ahead, doesn't need to be chased up and nothing is too much trouble. She actually really cares about doing what is best for her clients and in my opinion that is quite rare! We had difficulty with our estate agent who didn't have our best interests at heart and Lisa made a tricky and emotional process a lot easier. I recommend Lisa to everyone I know who needs a conveyancing service. I cannot speak highly enough or recommend Lisa enough! Thank you Lisa! Jody Murphy

I wish I had gone with a different firm of solicitors to buy my new flat. The communication from them has been utterly awful, sending me a batch of documents without any explanation of what I need to sign and hand in, and not to mention, them chasing and chiding me for a particular document which I hadn't printed, signed and handed in - only for me to point out to them that the document was the wrong document for me, and that I had nothing to do with this document. The amount of money and time spent in printing out documents to sign was insane. I should have been entitled to bill them for my expenses and time wasted. Quite honestly, I don't know what help Oliver and Co were in making this process work smoothly for first time buyers such as myself. To anyone who is looking to buy a property and is looking for a solicitors to help, please stay clear of Oliver and Co.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand that buying your first property can be a stressful process, and we recognise the importance of clear communication throughout. We are disappointed to learn that you felt insufficiently supported and will carefully consider your comments as part of our ongoing efforts to improve our service. In relation to your comments about documentation, there were occasions during the transaction where documents had to be updated or reissued, and additional information was required before the matter could progress. When an issue was identified with one of the documents requiring signature, a member of our team met with you at our office, printed the relevant documentation and guided you through the signing process to ensure everything was completed correctly. We are always happy to assist clients with printing documents where required and encourage clients to let us know if they need this support so that we can help. As with many conveyancing transactions, certain aspects of the process were dependent on information and responses from third parties, including the seller's solicitors and managing agents. This included the provision of updated completion figures and post-completion requirements. While we appreciate that these matters can be frustrating, some elements of the timescales involved were outside of our control. Following completion, the required notices were served and chased with the managing agents, and we continued to pursue responses where these were not forthcoming. We are sorry that we did not provide the level of service you expected. Feedback from our clients is important to us, and we will use your comments to review how we communicate with clients throughout the conveyancing process. We wish you every happiness in your new home and thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
