The service was excellent, comprehensive and showed great patience and understanding when we were unable to respond for an extended period due to family issues. We have already placed further business with the company.

The fees were set out upfront so we could make the best decision on the service we needed. Kirsty and Jess were quick to respond and actioned everything quickly for us. Our house sale needed to be done within the probate and Kirsty was able to get the probate through very quickly for us to allow this to happen, thank you so much.

We were very impressed with the service we received from Whitehead Monckton. Initially their website was very helpful in deciding what service we required and what it might cost. Thereafter, all the staff were very approachable and professional. The whole process was very simple and straightforward and went at the pace we wanted. We are very happy with the outcome and the cost.
