House purchase

Despite Covid restrictions, my house sale was processed and progressed with only one slight glitch. The pre-contract information document did not arrive, and I would have appreciated an email to let me know that such an important document was on the way, and to return it ASAP. The Post Office at my end was short of staff due to self isolation by 8 members of staff, and all post was delayed. In the end I travelled to the office to expedite the completion.
I would heartily recommend Mark Broughton as a thorough professional .

Probate Matter

We were introduced to GWL by a friend who was aware of health issues which prevented my wife and I from continuing with our duties as Executors of my Mother-in-law's Estate.
From the start, Georgina Roberts, who acted for us, was both friendly and welcoming, and very professional in her work on our behalf.
Although a modest Estate, it was not easy to administer.
Georgina sorted everything competently and kept us fully informed throughout the process of winding up the Estate.
Regardless of difficulties, which resulted in more work than anticipated, Georgina ensured that her fees were contained within the budget originally quoted.
We are extremely grateful to Georgina and GWL Solicitors, for all there work on our behalf.
We would certainly recommend them to prospective clients.

Conveyancing

Our house sale and purchase were handled by Mark Broughton during the period July - November 2020.
Owing to the pressures of the covid-19 situation the searches, etc. took longer than might otherwise have been expected, and there were unexpected issues with our buyers’ situation. Despite this, Mark was able to guide us through what turned out to be a protracted and stressful (for us) process in a very professional manner, with patience and clarity.
We would highly recommend Mark to anyone wishing to move house.

Conveyancing

My house sale and purchase has been done during the Covid-19 pandemic which has been a difficult time. My move was due to my husband having gone into full time care so I was having to deal with the move on my own for the first time. I have been looked after by Sarah Walker and Mark Broughton and both have been wonderful in giving me excellent advice and great support throughout the whole process. My sincere thanks to them both for everything they did. I cannot recommend them highly enough, they were brilliant.

Conveyancing

Mark Broughton has now handled a number of house sales for me and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Always available to talk through any problems and he ensures the process has always been as easy and painless as possible, despite dealing with the conveyancing factories (as quoted by a previous reviewer)!
And all at a very competitive price. I personally would not go anywhere else for this service.
Many thanks Mark.

Another Transaction

Mark Broughton at GWL Ltd has handled several transactions for us during the last few months. What a pleasure it is to do business with him. Always friendly, professional and approachable. He takes the stress out of these situations and always calls back. What a difference from the ‘conveyancing factories of other companies’. Thank you Mark

Friendly and Efficient Service over many years

Have always been our family solicitors and have acted for us through the years on a number of property purchases (Wirral, London, Llandudno, Hertfordshire) and with our personal wills. We left the Merseyside area 20 years ago and therefore our communications with Guy Williams Layton since that time have necessarily been by telephone calls and letters but we have always received first class, efficient and friendly service from everyone involved.
