Outstanding

Recently we worked with Higgs for the conveyancing on our house sale and very pleased with the service. From the start, they were professional and also incredibly accommodating to our specific needs. Understanding that autism can sometimes bring additional challenges, Samantha made reasonable adjustments that really helped to keep the process smooth and stress-free.

Communication was excellent throughout, always keeping us informed of each step and explaining complex details in a straightforward, approachable manner. It made a real difference knowing we had someone friendly and patient on our side, especially when navigating decisions that can feel overwhelming.

We felt confident that they were always on top of things, handling paperwork and liaising with all parties involved. Higgs made a world of difference for our family, Thank you.

I found that John and his team took us through the whole process with as much ease as possible given the difficult time restraints trying to get the sale through before the budget. At times it was intense for both parties, but Higgs remained professional and patient at all times.
A great job well done and they executed the project within the demanding time scales
Thank you

Sale of GYM

Great experience with the team. Worked well on our behalf and made sure relevant things were included for us. Rachael Watkins was good with communication throughout and Katie Willems was also helpful on completion day. The only thing stopping a 5 star rating was a few queries on price. I believe we had an initial estimate but as this changed quite a bit from our initial quote it would have been good to have been informed about what level of communication would have prompted an increase in price prior to the instructions. Being a first sale there were also lots of terms to understand. I think Rachael did a good job of making things clear. It would be good to speak in more ley terms generally for greater understanding.

RTA Injury Claim

I was involved in a serious car accident. Simon and his team were introduced to us through the hospital. Following an initial visit at our home Simon and his team secured assistance for Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Psycotherapy, Driver Rehabilitation whilst also pursuing the financial compensation route, all this was done with a calm methodical friendly approach. We have been so pleased with the service Simon and his colleagues have given that we are now completing our wills through Higgs. Thank you Mark & Sarah

Working with Philip Barnsley and Rhian Grey from the divorce team has been very reassuring and supportive. Advice has been first class recognising my personal issues and emotional needs , advising me in such away that matters were dealt with in as smooth away as possible. any questions/ concerns I might have were responded to in a timely matter with my best interests at heart and to ensure the best outcome possible.
I would happily recommend them .
I have not answered any of the questions in this review regarding costs etc as the whole divorce has taken over 25yrs and I have forgotten what the cost have been regarding Higgs LLP. What I can say is that all matters regarding costs I incurred with Higgs LLP have been agreed in advance and that there were also choices as to how I wished to pay for their services subject to how matters were progressing etc.
