Grant of Probate, Hereford Office

I dealt with Georgina Hughes at the Hereford office. I found her professional and approachable. The process went smoothly, and I was kept fully aware of everything that was happening with my case. I would use the company again.

Professional Conveyancing

My solicitor was always on hand and assisted by well informed and competent assistants. The assisted living flat for which I purchased the lease presented quite a legal challenge as the original freehold was leased to the developer’s subsidiary and sub-leased to another specialised subsidiary, and then myself. Because of the complexity the process took considerable time, but at each stage I was kept fully informed in a friendly approachable manner. Thank you.

House Sale

An error made years ago could have derailed this sale, however, early identification, and practical way of how to deal with the issue was invaluable. A professional solution was suggested without any undue delay to the overall outcome which is very much appreciated, especially as dealing as part of a late parent’s estate which was upsetting in itself.
Thank you Karen Bell is not enough.

Previously dealt with Lanyon Bowdler for updated wills and this time for LPA’s to replace our outdated EPA. Each occasion we were pleased with the service provided, being professional, efficient and easy to do business with. We have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

The Giving House!

Being relatively new to the area it was difficult to select a solicitor for our next move. Having read reviews, we opted for LB; what an excellent choice. Karen was superb in all our dealings with her. She brought light on the trickiest days.
