    Excellent service

    I was named the executor for my Mum who sadly passed away. I was left with the daunting task of sorting out all her finances & property. With the help of first Aimee with the will and then Helen & Julie with the property I was able to smoothly sort everything out. The staff at BG have been very caring, helpful and supportive during this process, i can't praise them enough . Thank you team

    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

    If you are leaving money in your will to friends and relatives do not use these solicitors. Do not use them as executors.Your friends and relatives will have died before they see any legacy you have left them.A snail could move faster !

    Have used BG Solicitors for years so when I purchased my new home in 2023 it was my ‘go to solicitors’ however, this time the service was poor, I had to do all the chasing, poor communication from the team involved. No face to face meetings, all correspondence conducted by email. Maybe this is normal post Covid but I was certainly not impressed with the professionalism or the customer service I am basing my review on my previous experiences with BG, felt like an inconvenience every time I called.

      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.

      So reassuring and professional

      It’s the first time that I’ve been to court and Denise contacted me prior, to walk me through the process. It made things a lot easier on the day, and I was amazed at how comfortable I felt in her hands. The file, put together by Leah Heckles, was so professional. Everything the Judge needed to know about the case was there, in order. Denise was fabulous. She did all the talking and made everything seem quite effortless. Kept to point and truth and dealt with any complication with ease. After the hearing she took me in to a room just to see how I was and make sure that I was happy with the outcome, of which I was. I would highly recommend her for your court proceedings. Really happy and it made what I thought would be a stressful experience, very comfortable. Thank you Denise!
