Lease Extensions
Victoria,

I instructed the Hassocks team (Gareth Collins) for my lease extension after a tricky time trying to resolve this independently. He knew exactly what he was doing, took all the stress and got the job done. I was trying to sell simultaneously and he didn't seem to mind my chasing for land reg updates. I have since instructed him for the conveyancing of my sale as he just cracks on, rather than requiring constant input from me. Exactly what you need from a good solicitor. I had direct comms for the whole process, rather than being pushed through a call centre and had a direct email to him. A refreshing approach.
A representative from GoodLaw Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 15 April, 2025:
Hi Victoria, Thanks so much for the great feedback of Gareth Collins! We're glad Gareth and the team could make things easier for you and keep the process stress-free. It's great to hear our direct approach made a difference. Wishing you all the best and thanks for choosing GoodLaw Solicitors!

I had a positive experience with Good Law. The team was professional, efficient and straightforward, which I appreciated. However the service was a bit pricey and I felt the response times could have been more flexible. Overall, a solid job and I would recommend for your expertise, though it comes at a premium

Given the abundance of subpar solicitors, it was a relief to find Goodlaw (special mention to Gareth). Timely, quality and professional advice that could be understood in plain English. Highly appreciated for what turned out to be a rather complex case.

We used goodlaw for our conveyancing.
Gareth Collins has been amazing throughout the whole process and could not have been more helpful.
Gareth and his team have been extremely responsive, answering all our questions quickly and answered my many, many calls without making me feel like I was pestering them (even though I likely was - sorry!!!).
Gareth knew our situation and that we were on a tight deadline to compelte before the stamp duty relief deadline. He ensured he did everything possible to make this happen and I’m so pleased that his hard work has paid off and we have exchanged today (after many issues that Gareth had to overcome).
The professionalism shown throughout has been second to none. I was particularly impressed with the advice I recieved and the time taken to explain things to me.
I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for us Gareth and would not hesitate to use you again, and will certainly recommend you to everyone!!
Thanks again, you have made the whole process less stressful, and pushed things on when they could’ve caused us to miss out on the relief.
A representative from GoodLaw Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 24 September, 2021:
Thank you for your great review Abigail of Gareth Collins. We are overjoyed to see that Gareth's service to you was responsive and took immense stress off your moving process. We hope to hear from you or friends and family in the near future.

We’ve had an excellent experience with GoodLaw, with Gareth providing a service above and beyond for our conveyancing. Gareth was always available via telephone and email. The buyers of our property used a rogue conveyancer but Gareth took it all in his stride and did everything possible to get our move complete. Gareth brought levity to what would have otherwise been a stressful situation. Could not recommend them more.The value was excellent and we’ll always use GoodLaw!
