Once again an excellent service received from Michelle and her team. The stress was taken out of the selling and buying process by knowing we were in very safe hands. From start to finish GL led the way and were clear, supportive, always available for legal advice, and prompt with paperwork. Would not hesitate to recommend.

I would like to thank Michelle and Rebecca for their excellent work, professionalism, kindness (I asked some silly questions) and understanding. It took us 332 days to move, they were very patient! I would highly recommend Gardner Leader and would definitely use them again in the future! Many thanks!

Cannot say enough good things about Michelle Challis and her team, Michelle went well out of her way when dealing with my house buyers conveyors who were absolutely incompetent and that's putting it politely. Always keeping me up to date with progress and answering any questions that i had with no hesitation. Would highly recommend using these solicitors.
