We were working to a very tight deadline as executors of my parents estate, and Greg went out of his way to deal with a mountain of enquieries form the buyers solicitors, and was always at the end of the telephone to help us imediately with any questions we had. Greg made the whole experience as stress free as possible.

Land registry and a tricky situation

My stepfather passed away, owning a 50% share of another property. BG Solicitors, Emma and Sam, have been able to assist me in getting the paperwork sorted to have the deeds changed into the estate and the surviving owner. They have been very polite and welcoming and answered any questions I have had along the way. Nothing was too much bother, and no question was a silly question. I would highly recommend BG solicitors who need to do anything similar. Thank you, Emma and Sam, you have both been superstars for me, and I definitely could not have done this without your assistance.

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 !

I've waited over a year to write this review as the experience and service from the branch in Barton impacted my mental health to such an extent. Executors of a family members Will, it was meant to be handled by an identified partner but transferred from Grimsby to Barton. Excessive fee considering living partner collated all the information. Wrong advice given in respect of trust money. Slow to process the paperwork, poor communication in light of a family member contesting Will. And 'person' who was executoring Will, when monies were due to be paid, didn't return call and went on holiday! By this point I just wanted it to end, nearly a year on, family divided and my Grandfather would have be furious and appalled at the service he had received from a family friends firm. It was finally settled by a solicitor in the Grimsby Branch who completed it within 24 hours and appeared to understand the level of distress the experience had caused.

Excellent service

Our case was a very complex case , Greg was our chosen solicitor in conveyancing . He was extremely knowledgable , professional at all times , always kept us fully informed and armed with excellent information on the procedure of a case like ours. It did take longer than expected but was fully informed of this at the start of the process . I would highly recommend Greg and BG solicitors and will use them for all future legal dealings

Nice place, if a little pricey. But most solicitors are these days, though these seem to be the cheapest around. Stairs are a little difficult for people with mobility issues, but they do have a disabled entrance,which is a nice touch.

from BG Solicitors LLP

We appreciate your honest thoughts on our pricing and are glad we could offer competitive rates for your matter. We also take note of your comments regarding accessibility; while our historic stairs can pose a challenge, we are pleased that our dedicated step-free entrance made your visit more comfortable. Thank you again for choosing us, Karegian, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
