House Sale & Probate!

I had two situations that required a good solicitor & both the sale of my uncles property & grant of probate were handled efficiently, professionally & with clear communication. Would I recommend them , yes whole heartedly & I already have! The pricing was fixed & I felt reasonable for the quality of service offered. Thank you!

Job well done

The building sale was a long journey as a result of the buyers solicitors incompetence and their lack of urgency.
My solicitor pushed them all the time and kept me well informed during this journey but like me he must have been totally frustrated at times.

The Best I have Ever Used!

I am in my 60's, used solicitors many times, but not one like these. I cannot praise them enough and Yilmaz was just absolutely amazing. Shame i could not give him alone more than 5 stars.
He's not shown on the dropdown, so I shall say his name...Yilmaz Ozgen.
Thank you.

We used Josiah Hincks instructing Trisha Palmer in the sale and purchase of our home. It was not an easy transaction as our chain collapsed twice and we needed to make multiple changes along the way, including changing the house we were purchasing! However, Trisha was the consummate professional guiding us through the process. She was quick to act, easy to contact and a pleasure to work with. We cannot recommend her services highly enough. Thank you Trisha and Josiah Hincks!

Josiah Hincks drafted our will and as we were so pleased with the service, we appointed them for the sale of our house. We again received an excellent service and Lucie Clayson made the process completely stress free for us from start to finish, excellent professional service. Josiah Hincks are now our preferred solicitors, and we now won't use anyone else.
