Hargreaves Gilman Solicitors Limited

I've used this firm twice and they've provided a brilliant service for myself and for my mum. They got both of our property sales over the line promptly. Service by phone/e-mail and in person was always friendly and with a degree of urgency. They understood our concerns and always acted in a quick, professional manner. Good conveyancing services are very hard to come by. We did our research and turned down our estate agent's preferences to use this firm instead. Would happily use again and highly recommend.

Such a drawn out process by Peter that could have been resolved quicker if he had any idea of the law & Process, with almost no communication about any stage of the process, I was constantly chasing and frustrated beyond belief with the dull conversation and lack of information. When we finally decided to move solicitors (So glad we did) he held documents to ransom and even followed the request to release them with a call insulting me. Great work Pete keep it up!!!

James Cox dealt with my mother's will and grant of probate. From the first no obligation face to face meeting and conversation, we felt very comfortable and at ease. Great communication, which helped as we've never dealt with a will and probate before. Professional but very easy to talk to. Someone recommended James to us, and we are so glad we listened to that recommendation. We wholeheartedly recommend James also

Professional, diligent, hard working and all done with a smile! I cannot recommend Deborah and her team highly enough. Absolutely delighted with the service provided.

When I found myself at a complete standstill in moving forward with executing my dear mother's last wishes and testament, I felt utterly helpless. Mom, having been a resident of the UK, having had to revise her Will in Canada, had saved her money like a little squirrel to leave for her children. Unfortunately, one bank in the UK refused to release a very small account into an estate account here in Canada, where I reside, holding up the whole process for over a year. The bank refused to recognize her Canadian Will and imposing very expensive processes that solicitors had told me would cost more than the accounts value. During COVID-19 I was unable to even go to the UK to try and sort things out, let alone get more than a recording about delays due to COVID to speak with someone. One particular morning, an angel gave me the courage to look through my best friend's legal papers, my Ma, once again to try and find anyone who could potentially help me in the UK. It was then that I found Hargreaves Gilman Solicitors and Deborah Millington. I could not believe how inexpensive it was for my beloved Ma to make a WIll with them! Believe me, it was such a comfort to hear the voice of Debbie at the other end of the telephone, across seas, clarifying to me UK policies, and guiding me and coaching me over several months to move the file over to get them to release Ma's hard earned funds. And, with her help, we did it... once and for all. Furthermore, Debbie was the only solicitor that agreed to do the daunting task for a most reasonable amount of money. In the end, she did not even want to charge me! Unbelievable! This WOULD NEVER happen in Canada. Here, we would have to chase the professional hoping for acknowledgement of an email, and then we would be charged dearly for having them read and respond! I don't think it is even just a difference in international policy as other solicitors in the UK did not respond to emails either. If you want a compassionate, professional, and more than fair solicitor, Deborah Millington is your go-to person. Though the whole ordeal with the particular bank in the UK brought me down, and made me feel alone and helpless in executing the last of my treasured Ma's wishes, during the most difficult time of my life, I will never forget Debbie and will always be grateful for having found her and her assistance. Thank you, Debbie! Your a star!
