First Time Will Service

The staff at Biscoes Newport on the Isle of Wight have provided me with a top notch experience. The service from first to last was not only professional but the easy quality of the questions that were put to me with regards to the content that I needed within my Will meant that the first time draft was of such perfection that I was able to sign my Will without need for any amendment. Thank you all

We appointed David Clarke at Biscoes, Portsmouth, last June to deal with the conveyancing of the sale of our late Father’s Estate. From the first day until the momentous day of completion, David and his team have been phenomenal in every aspect. Professional, always prepared to think out of the box- nothing was too much trouble. David kept us informed every step of the way on what, at times, was a difficult journey for all concerned. Despite that, he always created a positive atmosphere, so you knew that any problems would be resolved and resolved quickly. I cannot thank David enough for everything he has done. Without any hesitation whatsoever, I would strongly recommend anyone looking for a Solicitor to deal with their conveyancing needs, to consider David at Biscoes first. He is an excellent ambassador for the business. 😊😊😊😊😊

Biscoes Legal Services Limited

Dear Mark, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that David and our team provided phenomenal service throughout the conveyancing process. Your recommendation means a lot to us. Best regards, Biscoes Legal Services Limited

Professional and efficient

Sarah recently supported us with the purchase of an auction property. We found her to be professional and very efficient. From the initial friendly courtesy call to the final completion emails, we were supported and advised appropriately in a timely manner. Being an auction property the timescales were very tight, but we were in good hands and never worried that the sale wouldn't happen! We would be happy to have Sarah represent us again in the future.

Housing & Property

Laura is first class.

Laura has already come recommended by our agent and we discovered over a five month period this was for good reason. Aside from the highly efficient admin led by her colleague Stephanie, the key moment in Laura's support as the solicitor overseeing our house sale came with just four weeks to go when our buyer decided to state that our deeds were incorrect and that a fence should be moved. In the following highly stressful weeks that followed, we could have caved in and indeed at a couple of points we were discussing with Laura what we could offer. The buyer's solicitor was also incredibly unhelpful. Laura resiliently stood her ground and repeated again and again that our papers were in order. She dug in and at times was as firm with us as she was with the buyer. We were able to develop a really close relationship with Laura, using humour at appropriate times to remind ourselves of how ridiculous the buyer was being. In the end, we made the decision to withdraw from the sale as we reminded ourselves how lovely our house is and how, at times, it's important to stand firm and 'resist the ridiculous'. We cannot recommend Laura highly enough, both for her legal confidence but also for her personal touch. She really is a gem.

Very helpful

It was a pleasure to have taya be are solicitor, she was very helpful and made sure everything was explained in way to ensure it was all understandable for everyone. She listened to what was wanted and made sure that what we was saying way heard. She would always pick up when we called or texted and if she couldnt at that point never left it long till she got back to us.
