Making a will
We went to Buchanans to write a will. It was painless and very professional. Alex explained everything in great detail so we understood exactly what was happening.

Review of professional services.
The changes to two wills, and the advice and the dealing with my wife and my own Power of Attorney was done in a very satisfactory and professional way.
The entire experience was very satisfactory, and at a reasonable cost.

The offices and solicitor who dealt with our Wills was excellent.
They kept us well informed and had all the documentation ready to sign within a week.
A nice relaxed experience.

Thanks to Tim Barlow & Salli LaBelle Platt,of Buchanan soliçitors Staveley I have been successful in a personal injury claim against a very well known retail store.From the time I complained to the store of my very serious accident they treated me with contempt denying knowledge of any cause.I persevered and finally the truth of this matter enabled me move forward and Tim was more than pleased to take my case.The manner ive been treated by this solicitor and Salli has been exemplary,with kindness,and proffesional at all times. If at any time in the future I require legal help or advice I will return to Buchanan solicitor knowing I am safe in their hands.I would recommend them with confidence to anyone .M.E.Fox.

I asked Buchanan & Co to draw up a will for me under the free wills service.
PROS
+ The process was efficient.
+ The legal advisor was thorough, highlighting several issues that I hadn't considered, for example that I should consider setting up an LPA
CONS
- The advisor seemed to be confused about the inheritance tax status of SIPPs. I had to explain that a SIPP should be treated
- They were keen to sell me a Lasting Power of Attorney package for a special price of £663. A quick Google search revealed that it is a very straightforward process which I could get done via the official government website for £164.
- The firm appears to have a history of posting defensive and occasionally belligerent comments in response to reviews.
