Not a lot to improve. My case took a long time but through no fault of your colleague but the local council.

Unresponsive and I felt that they were neglectful

I received poor advice from them which lead to financial loss. Discussions were fruitless so I had to file a negligence claim against them. I sent them the claim in the post, but it was returned as undeliverable. I emailed them to enquire about it but there was no response. As I was due to travel I asked if they would accept service via email in this case - numerous emails were ignored. The partner Stephen Hudson was unresponsive and did not respond to complaints - instead he went on holiday. I would not recommend them.

Reception lady was friendly and efficient. Sadly the same cannot be said for the solicitor we have had some dealings with, receiving requests for action by email with little explanation about how to go about it or why it was required. Pretty poor

Property purchase conveyancing

It was far from straightforward and with problems from the seller’s side this required much more involvement than normal from Michelle in dealing with the various parties in order to get the sale over the line. It turned out to be a very extended process because of the problems and I was very grateful to be kept me well informed of progress along the way and maintaining my confidence for a satisfactory conclusion.

A representative from Gard & Co responded to this review

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. We appreciate that your transaction was far from straightforward and that the additional issues on the seller’s side made the process longer and more involved than anyone would have liked. We are pleased that Michelle’s proactive approach and regular updates helped to maintain your confidence throughout what was an extended and at times challenging matter. Your comments regarding her commitment to getting the sale over the line and keeping you well informed are greatly appreciated, and we will be sure to pass your kind words on to her. Thank you again for your trust in us — it was a pleasure to assist you.

Anthony Longville from Gard & Co Solicitors was superb and we would strongly advise anyone seeking a solicitor for conveying to use him. Anthony and his team did an excellent job. Very efficient and always kept us informed of any changes as and when they were happening so their customer focus is of the highest quality.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you were so pleased with the service provided by Anthony and the Conveyancing Team. Keeping our clients informed throughout the transaction and providing an efficient, responsive service are priorities for us, so it is particularly rewarding to receive such positive feedback. Anthony passes on his thanks and said it was a pleasure acting for you both. Thank you again for choosing Gard & Co Solicitors. We wish you all the very best for the future.

Jodie was so efficient and helpful when we recently used Gard & Co when buying our home in the UK after living overseas for a number of years. She acted quickly to deal with any issues/requests we had, and really knows her stuff! It's a shame the sellers solicitor wasn't as professional or efficient! Would definitely use again. Thanks Jodie!

Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear about your positive experience with Jodie and the Conveyancing Team during your recent home purchase. Buying a property after living overseas for a number of years can present additional challenges, so we are pleased that Jodie's efficiency, expertise and responsiveness helped make the process as smooth as possible. Jodie was delighted to get your review and asked us to pass on her thanks. She really appreciates your recognition of the service you received and your willingness to recommend us. Thank you for choosing Gard & Co Solicitors. We wish you every happiness in your new home and look forward to assisting you again in the future should you need us.

The team at Gard & Co have been great to work with in dealing with Dad's estate. I had never done anything like this before. Jane gave clear guidance on the probate side, so that the full service was not needed. She handled just the strictly legal aspect which reduced costs. I don't feel that adding another layer to processes would have made things simpler. However the comprehensive service is available for anyone who is very worried. Jodie and Michelle dealt with the property side as a separate item and everything went as well as it could , despite some delays and issues with the buyers funding and some legal processes. I would highly recommend Gard & Co to anyone dealing with probate or a property sale. ( I am sure a purchase would be the same! ). Their fees were reasonable and no hidden extras

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that you had a positive experience with the team during what we appreciate can be a difficult and unfamiliar process. It’s great to know that Jane’s guidance on probate was clear and helpful, and that the flexible approach to providing support where needed worked well for you. We always aim to offer a service that is both practical and cost-effective, tailored to each client’s circumstances. We’re also pleased that Jodie and Michelle were able to assist with the property side and help things progress as smoothly as possible, particularly given the challenges that can arise during a transaction. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we’re very grateful for your kind comments about our fees and transparency.
