Living in London and traveling to Hastings where I hoped to buy a property it was very important to me that I could speak with Rory on the days I visited. This was always possible. Rory is also very knowledgeable about Hastings, it's history and infrastructure etc. This helped me to understand potential risks with my purchase and come with solutions..

Thank you for your review Catherine. We appreciate the positive feedback you have given Rory - he is delighted to have helped you. If you need further assistance in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact us again.

Exceptional service

I was let down by another firms representative and last minute asked for Hermione’s support with an imminent deadline. The experience between her service and the last solicitor I spoke with was night and day - she was empathetic, personable and reassuring during a stressful time. She took the time to run through everything so I understood it clearly, she made herself available and managed to close out my case with better terms and on time. Hermione was a life saver and is an asset to Gaby.

In safe Hands

I was recommended Gaby Hardwicke Solicitors by a family member as it seems the two previous solicitors I have used have been taken over and my contacts retired. My first experience GH has been extremely positive, Natasha helped me through the process and achieve a positive Client outcome. She was helpful, knowledgeable and professional all in a timely manor. She also pointed out additional areas in my case that I had not considered. All in all a great job… thank you.

Hermoine Porter was absolutely outstanding. Her and her assistant were kind, understanding and extremely calming in a very stressful situation. Their service and the support and guidance from Paul Maynard was outstanding and the outcome was extremely positive. They worked hard and I can’t thank Hermoine, Paul and the team enough.
