Highly recommend
We used Teylor from Greene & Greene for the purchase of our first house and would highly recommend her.
She made the process straight forward, kept us updated regularly and acted in our best interests.
Thank you for helping us along the way!

Best solicitor I’ve ever used
My wife and I used Teylor Newman for our conveyancing and I couldn't recommend her highly enough! Having worked with multiple solicitors I can honestly say she is the best I have ever worked with. Communication throughout the entire process was proactive and spot on, do yourself a favour and use Teylor!

Conveyancing Service
As executor of my late Great Aunt's will, I needed a conveyancing solicitor to act for the sale of her house in Bury. Born in bury in 1928, she had worked as secretary for a Mr V D M Hall at Greene & Greene as a school leaver, so they were my first choice. I asked for a second quote and Greene & Greene were slightly more competitive, which was great news. Tim Fox (who remembers Mr Hall) has been a pleasure to deal with. He has acted swiftly and efficiently and answered any queries in a very timely manner. I have no hesitation in recommending Greene & Greene; Thank you Tim!

Excellent notarial services
We have used Selene Holden's services for all of our notarial requirements for a number of years, we wouldn't go anywhere else. We are always able to meet with Selene at a time and place that suits us and receive a prompt turnaround of any documents, including those which require further attestation.

We had an excellent experience with Greene and Green. Teylor Newman was our conveyancer and she could not have been more helpful, supportive or responsive to questions. She always replied to any contact within the hour and we were most impressed. We'd recommend them highly.

Actually notary service was very efficient & professional once the appointment was under way. However, appointments were only available one day per week and when I mentioned the price to friends & colleagues, they thought it quite pricey.
