Excellent Service from the whole team at Francis George

Asif and Lana were great throughout the whole process and were instrumental in ensuring we received the payment from a client without having to go to court. Communication was clear and quick as is always the case with the team. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to my clients or friends.

House selling experience.

I found Lydia's work with regards to the conveyancing of my sale to be extremely professional, efficient, and easy to get in touch with when it mattered. I would have no hesitation in recommending her. I cannot think of a better conveyancing experience in the many houses i have bought and sold over the years.

Fantastic job

We cannot recommend Lydia Brandreth highly enough. She was extremely helpful in both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one. There were some complications along the way that she managed professionally and managed to maintained focus on getting all in the chain ready to exchange in time for completion on our original proposed date. Without her support I am sure we would still be in our old house!

Asif has been great!

Asif has been brilliant so far! He is always straight to the point, very clear with me, explains all of the jargon and is very responsive over email and phone! Throughout my case he has listened carefully and been lead by me, with a nice balance of guidance too. He always remembers the details, and I have never felt he is unprepared or doesn't have time for me. 5* service so far, but we still have a long way to go in my case! I will do another review at the end :)

Excellent!

Really, I can’t thank them enough. Helped me to go through probably the most difficult time of my life, like divorce, selling the house and purchasing property. At once!
Special thanks to Megan and Lydia, who worked on my case.

The service that we received from Francis George Solicitors was excellent. From start to completion of our property purchase we felt that we were in capable hands. Lydia was always approachable and helpful regarding any enquiries we had. We would definitely use them again.

I would highly recommend FGS although they did not represent me, they gave me a One Hour Free of charge consultation, in which Mr Robani explained to me what to do and how, as well as explaining to me where I had gone wrong and also certain factors that my previous solictors had missed !!! His advice alone saved me thousands of pounds . Very throrough and specfic advice.

I really cannot recommend Ross Peters enough. Throughout my custody battle he was there to answer any question no matter how small and replied instantly with anything I needed. Communication was fantastic throughout and he guided me through everything. In court, he helped me to reach a final conclusion quickly and I came out with a better result than I ever thought I would have. Thanks to Ross, I can now enjoy regular contact with my children. Should any further issues arise in future, I will not hesitate to get in touch with Ross straight away.

I received excellent advice from one of the directors, Asif Robbani, on a sub-contracting issue. Asif was very quick to respond to all my questions and explained everything very clearly. I particularly appreciated his clear and friendly communication style and made the whole issue understandable for someone like me without legal training or knowledge. I strongly recommend Asif and this company.

Friendly, efficient and fast service - was not a big job but they took it on and completed quickly.
A great "can do" attitude - sadly lacking in other businesses of the same ilk.
