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.

Very professional and swift service

Someone who has never been through the redundancy process or had to seek a solicitor, my experience was very positive from sourcing BG Solicitor to meeting and speaking with Leah. My case was dealt with the up most professionalism and compassion. Leah explained everything to me very clearly and also highlighted to me what was missing and referred back to my previous employer with changes that should be made. I was very happy with my experience at BG Solicitors LLP and would be very happy to referring anyone who is seeking a Solicitor. Thank you for everything, it is much appreciated.

Excellent service from BG solicitors LLP

From day one both Micheal and Darcie have been excellent. They will take time to talk you through the process, they also make themselves available to assist you. One example Micheal was on a weeks holiday and yet he still took time to answer are questions that we had, plus he always keeps us up-to-date with how the case was going. They are both very friendly people and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal advice.

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. .

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!
