    Lease extension

    I asked Emma to represent me in a lease extension. She was helpful, responsive and proactive in dealing with the other side, who were particularly unresponsive. I have used BG several times in the past but it was the first time I had dealt with Emma. I can recommend her.

    The property sale process was very comfortable. Communication was excellent and the portal used for sending information was easy to use. The task was effectively shared between two members of staff but it was still a seamless process.

    I would like to express our sincere thanks to Emma Hudson and Brad Whiteley at BG Solicitors in Grimsby. It was always going to be a fraught transaction due to the timescale that we had to work to. In addition to this, the onerous requirements of other parties. However Emma was calm and persevered to enable a successful completion on the deadline. Thankyou so much.

    A house move is potentially the most stressful time of our lives. Trying to beat the labour deadline for an increase in stamp duty just triples that. But Helen Kent and her team, phenomenal. I had a hiccup at the start where I missed some paperwork requests, but that was no problem at all. You chased me, and everyone involved and ensured we were in time for the deadline, and kept me in the loop right up until I had the keys in my hand. Thanks so much!

    Many thanks to solicitor Miss Loise Holmes for taking as much time as needed to gather all the required information, following it up and advising in the best possible way. She showed me she truely cares about it and really puts the efforts into sorting it out!

    TERRIBLE. Avoid this firm. Unhelpful and unresponsive staff who don't even follow their own formal complaints procedure, and when they do, only say what they need to to cover their backs if the SRA got involved. I was given a new solicitor and didn't even know their name for 2 and a half months, it wasn't until I mentioned pulling out of the sale that they got in touch. Weird! The negative reviews do not lie.

      Supportive

      Where we were originally turned away by 3 solicitors, Michael gave us a voice. With great determination, has shown immense advocation for our cause. Extremely supportive, communicative, I have been kept informed of any progress and couldn't be any more thankful for the representation he offers. So glad I wasn't put off as I found the best solicitor to represent my need.

      The best

      Micheal was a last resort in our case as we had been failed by other solicitors. We couldnt be more thankful for the support and determination he has put into us and our case even working outside regular hours to keep us updated in every piece of information he gets. I would definitely highly recommend him to anyone who needs a solicitor.

      We used BG solicitors for will writing (Miriam) & conveyancing (Bradley & James) received great advice and outstanding service from everyone. I've moved house several times and never had a solicitor so responsive. Any questions were answered same day, there was a portal to keep up to date with progress. When things got sticky enquiries were made promptly. With our will writing everything is fully explained and any questions answered. I am fully confident we now have the right protections for our family. Fees are competitive, there are 5 office across the Hunber region Hessle, Barton, Scunthorpe, Grimsby and Louth so easy to pop in for appointnents or to drop off/collect. I would highly recommend
