Excellent care given
This firm really looked after us when they handled a complicated probate for my father. I can't recommend them enough for the help they gave me, and they were reasonable with the cost too.

It is my distinct pleasure to offer the highest commendation for the firm of Hayes and Storr, who so capably managed the conveyance of my property. Having been most lamentably served by a previous establishment—leaving my affairs in a state of considerable disarray—I found myself in no small amount of trepidation. However, my fortunes changed entirely upon engaging the services of the esteemed Mel and Polly at the firm. These ladies possess a constitution of remarkable industry and a most commendable dispatch. They took up the complexities of my matter with such expert facility that I was spared any necessity of offering reminders or inquiries. Without a single lapse, they saw fit to provide me with a comprehensive report of progress at the conclusion of every week; a habit of communication that afforded me the most profound peace of mind. Should you find yourself in need of legal counsel for the transfer of a property, I implore you to look no further than Hayes and Storr, and specifically the excellent Mel and Polly. They are, in every respect, paragons of professional reliability, and they transformed a most distressing predicament into an affair of the utmost smoothness and tranquility
We found Kieran Athow to be a consummate professional when preparing our wills. He was both welcoming and approachable very polished in his manner and his knowledge and guidance made a difficult situation a whole lot easier for us.
Dear Paul, thank you for taking the time to leave such positive feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you found Kieran professional and approachable when preparing your wills. Your review is very much appreciated, and we will ensure it is shared with Kieran and the wider team. H+S
We had a very unexpected call in December 2023 notifying us that we were executors of a relative's will - we needed to travel 200 miles to meet with Kieran Athow to discuss all that was involved.He was particularly helpful and honest with all that was needed but also how we could do some things ourselves which would help costs in the long run.The whole situation was extremely complicated but Kieran was very patient and explained things in such a way that we understood what was going on.The nature of the will and complications that ensued meant the resolution took over 2 years.During this time we were always kept up to date with where things were up to and what was going on.We managed 3 face to face meetings (400 mile round trip!) but on each occasion we were treated with kindness and understanding - especially if running late! I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm but particularly Kieran to deal with any legal matters - we were intially at a loss as where to start but the guidance we received was first class. Brian & Barbara Stoakley

We achieved the outcome we wanted. I cant thank them enough. I wouldn't hesitate in contacting Hayes and Storr in the future for any legal needs,help,advice or support. Thank you 😊

We used Hayes + Storr to re-write our wills. Kieran helped to make the process really straightforward and clearly explained what we did not understand. We found the reception staff really friendly too. We would be more than happy to use them again.

Hayes + Storr and Lauren Howell in particular were very helpful offering plenty of detailed advice throughout the purchase, they gave us the confidence we needed to keep the process smooth and we will certainly be using them again the future :)
Thank you Claire for a super job on our sale and purchase. We found that your attention to detail in terms of the legal conveyancing and customer service were what one would expect of the Hayes and Storr tradition. We have no hesitation in recommending Hayes and Storr and in particular Claire Burns for her hard work and reliability coupled with her professional knowledge made this a smooth transaction.

We used Hayes and storr while purchasing our first property after being given notice on the rented property we were in already. Mel was brilliant, very efficient and continously kept on top of chasing a rather slow solicitor on our puchasers side to ensure this sale went through before we were made homeless with two young children. For that we will be forever grateful and will.certainly use them again in the future.
We received an absolutely fantastic service from Mel & Polly during our house move. They made this part of the process so much easier and stress free, which we cannot thank them enough for. They kept us fully updated throughout and whenever we had a question it was promptly responded to in a clear and understandable manner. We cannot recommend Hayes + Storr highly enough! And whilst we don't plan to move for a least 10 years now - we will be sure to be in touch with them when the time comes to move again.
I would highly recommend Hayes & Storr Limited. They dealt with both my buying & selling house move recently. Lauren Howell was so efficient always answered my emails immediately & was always there on hand to reassure at this stressfull experience !!
Fantastic service

We enquired through a friend for a quote for purchase of home, Kayleigh came back the next day with a detailed breakdown of the cost, communication has been amazing, always kept up to date, QUICK RESPONSES!!!! Kayleigh responded within minutes, silly questions always answered, Kayleigh is very thorough and not afraid to push another solicitor for a sale 10/10.
