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

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.

Legal Advice- Home sale & Declaration of Trust

I recently used Ben at BG Solicitors LLP for legal advice regarding a complex declaration of trust with an ex-partner, as well as securing a fair split of our joint property sale. Over the course of 6 months, Ben provided exceptional service, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first meeting, Ben demonstrated a high level of knowledge that immediately put my mind at ease during a stressful time. He provided clear, honest advice and was always a great communicator, keeping me updated at every stage. I am happy with the final split, especially since I initially worried I might end up with an amount less than what was fair. The entire matter was handled in a professional yet friendly manner. Ben was incredibly timely and proactive, ensuring everything progressed smoothly to protect my interests. Thanks to his dedication, I achieved a fantastic outcome. I would highly recommend Ben and BG Solicitors LLP to anyone needing expert legal assistance.

Efficient Friendly Service

Brad helped us with a purchase which we thought would be a complicated and lengthy process. However, from the start we have received a very friendly and efficient service with excellent communication throughout. Elements of the purchase process which we didn’t understand were explained and we guided through to ensure we did everything correctly. We are very happy with our experience with Brad and BG Solicitors. .

Emma Provided a great service from start to finish.

Emma was acting on my behalf on a purchase of a BTL property, Although a few delays on the way, Emma kept on top of things, and I was kept up to date at all times. Very Happy with the great service received brom Emma @ BG Solicitors, It's the fist time Emma has acted on behalf of myself, but I have been using BG Solicitors for over 30 years, and I find the firm outstanding.

Great efficient service

High recommend. Brad handled the purchase of our freehold with professionalism and expertise throughout. From the outset, he clearly explained what was required, what to expect, and the steps involved, ensuring we were fully informed at every stage. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and prompt responses whenever needed. His thorough approach and attention to detail made what could have been a complex process straightforward and easy to understand. Brad guided us through each stage with confidence, making the transaction smooth and stress-free. I would not hesitate to recommend Brad to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and professional service.

BG solicitors as conveyancers

Second to none. Was dreading buying a house due to the image of how complicated it seemed in my head. It was a nice surprise when throughout the entire process, BG Solicitors made what I thought would be a headache very easy and straightforward with constant and timely correspondence. I feared hidden fees too, but I was only charged for what was done, and they were very upfront about the costs, and I was happy with the price. If you want to buy a house without any drama, go with BG solicitors.

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!
