Some good and some bad
First of all - gaining probate is just the first step. There are many steps after which require legal council. To be fair, the solicitor managed to get probate in a very timely matter, and within price, however wasn't interested in providing guidance on the next steps. I was actually told to speak with other solicitors. To make matters even more frustrating I had to chase for the return of documents I supplied relating to the case. My lasting impression is that clients are very much "just another number" and the firm has seen an easy way to make money from supplying probate as opposed to advising and supporting clients throughout their journey.

Thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear that you did not feel that you received the full service that you required. We aim to provide a comprehensive service so that our clients receive all the support that they need. We do offer a full estate administration service for clients who do not wish to deal with the post grant administration themselves or where further guidance is needed once the Grant of Probate is received. We advise clients to speak to other Solicitors in relation to probate property sales as we do not offer conveyancing services. We have contacted you directly to see if we may be of further assistance.
