Extremely Easy 100% recommended

Julia and her colleagues always responded quickly to our emails, the documentation was clear and I would recommend Gaines & Wilkinson 100%. They were not the cheapest quote I received for the services I searched for, but they responded immediately by phone to my request and the initial summary information for what we wanted (a little complicated) was correct - 2 others obviously didn't read and quoted us for things we didn't ask for. Very happy overall with what we paid, and it lessened the stress of moving for us quite a lot. Thanks Julia & Co
Not sure if they have control over this but we found the online Gateway to be a little clunky and not completely intuitive - e.g. it would have been nice to be able to immediately download our forms in .pdf format at the end of filling them in. I did find them eventually though after a bit of a search!

Gets the job done for reasonable fees

The team at Gaines & Wilkinson were very helpful and detailed the process clearly. It’s sometimes difficult to communicate other than via email with them and calls we’re not returned after leaving by messages, however they still tended to respond promptly and in most cases the same or next day.

Their patience was appreciated.

Gaines and Wilkinson kept me informed all the way through, keeping one step ahead of all parties concerned. The office staff were friendly and keen to help me with everything I felt unsure of or concerned about. Thank you especially to the solicitorJulia and administrator Jackie who showed patience with me, as at times I know I can be a little pedantic. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
