Brilliant & would recommend to anyone

I couldn’t recommend this firm of solicitors enough, particularly my solicitor Jason Legg, who facilitated my purchase involving a complex leasehold arrangement in London, as a first time buyer. I was buying my property while working out of the country in a difficult environment and Jason was across every detail, always proactive and communicative, and pushing things forward with the other side who were dragging their heels, to ensure the purchase completed by the time I was moving back to the UK. He always spoke in plain English, talking me through the complexities of the conveyancing involved in my particular purchase clearly, and was always responsive and approachable. I’ll be recommending Jason and this firm to my friends and family. Thank you again, Jason!

Responsive and personable

I recently used this conveyancing solicitor for my property sale and couldn’t be more pleased with the service I received. From start to finish, the process was handled efficiently, professionally, and with great attention to detail. Communication was excellent throughout, everything was explained clearly, and I was kept informed at every stage of the transaction. Any questions I had were answered promptly, which really helped reduce the stress that often comes with selling a property. The whole process was completed within the expected timeframe, and I felt confident that my case was being managed thoroughly and competently. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a reliable and proactive conveyancing solicitor. Thank you for making what can be a complicated process feel straightforward and well-managed.

As part of a property transaction that I was purchasing via my company, my lender required that I obtained independent legal advice on the conditions of the mortgage. Having had the appointment with Harriet, my other solicitors dealing with the transaction then informed me that the wrong form had been completed (not Harriet’s fault). I was informed about this a month after we’d sent the document and the afternoon before we were due to complete on the transaction! I rang Gould and Swayne to explain the situation. They were fantastic, and managed to fit me in the following day so I could still complete on the property on time. Harriet is very friendly and accommodating - they really helped me out! Thank you ever so much, your efforts were really appreciated.

I work for a housing developer and we use Gould and Swayne for all our transactions (both industrial and residential). They have always offered an exceptional service. Jason Legg in particular is one of the most conscientious Solicitors you could instruct although all the staff are very helpful. I would definitely recommend them 100%.

I have had many dealings with Gould & Swyane (Wells), usually for conveyancing and commercial leases. I have mostly corresponded with Jason Legg and Gian Floris. Both are knowledgeable and have dealt with matters in a very efficient and timely manner. I find their pricing competitive and will continue to use Gould & Swayne in the future as we have built up a great business relationship.

We used Gould & Swayne for selling/buying and cannot fault Hollie and Jackie for being so efficient and helpful. Considering this was during the peak of the covid busy period and having to wait for probate, we were kept in the loop at all times and had responses to any questions in a timely manner. I would 100% recommend Hollie and the team to anyone looking to sell/buy as they made the process easy and as stress free as possible.

A representative from Gould & Swayne Limited responded to this review

Hi Kim, Thank you so much for leaving a review of the service you received from us. We were happy we could help. Kindest regards.

We recently made new wills using the "Free Wills" process available in conjunction with various charities. After the initial visit we unexpectedly had an urgent need to complete and sign the new wills very rapidly. After calling the office to ask if there was any possibility of this, I had a return call the same day to say they had been able to get everything done and ready for signing. We were so grateful for the efficiency and kindness of everyone here, especially Mike Burgess who went out of his way to get things completed. It meant a great deal to us at a very difficult time.

A representative from Gould & Swayne Limited responded to this review

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that our team, especially Mike Burgess, was able to assist you promptly and efficiently during such a critical time. Your appreciation means a lot to us, and we're glad we could provide the support needed. If there's anything further we can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you all the best.
