An outstanding professional friendly service.

I found the whole experience of selling my house through Gard & Co to be faultless. My summary is that they provide an outstanding professional and friendly service. Whether communicating directly with the solicitor or one of the support team, I always felt that my enquiry was in good hands. I highly recommend Gard & Co. Thank you.

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.

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.

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!

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.
