Excellent service

I used Goughs to deal with the sale of my house. They were extremely professional and kept me informed all the way though the process. I would highly recommend them. Amy was brilliant and I cannot fault the service I received.

Sarah was friendly, helpful and very professional. I was pleased we asked her to help us instead of attempting to do it ourselves as she pointed out a number of things we wouldn’t have thought of.

I went to Goughs in Melksham to get a cetified copy of our LPoA requested by Wiltshire Council. I had the original with me, issued by the Office of Public Guardian. They refused to do it as they hadn't done the LPoA with us. Surprised at their response and disappointed!

Exceptional service. I used the firm's online form to send a query re certification of documents & witnessing a declaration at the Melksham branch office on Sunday evening. I received a phone call just after opening on Monday and had an appointment for the same afternoon. Outstanding service thank you.

Excellent service

It was an absolute pleasure talking with Caoimhe today. There was a calm and understanding tone in her voice despite the conversation being quite tricky and personal. This pleasant conversation was further bolstered by clear, helpful and insightful legal advice. I was so very grateful of the diligent service and the outcome, even with an initial consultation being short. I would highly recommend Caoimhe as a solicitor.

Excellent service. I used Goughs when my solicitor went bust. The quality of Sophie Laird's work was excellent. Conveyancing is never an easy process, but a good solicitor is worth their weight in gold. Would definitely use again.
