Probate and house sale
We are so glad we appointed Heringtons to handle the estate and house sale. I cannot recommend them enough. Excellent service, no fuss and very knowledgeable.

Great service for a complex and drawn out process
I had to sell my father's house following his death. Being remote - living in Switzerland - as well as complications around my father's particular circumstances (his name differed across various records etc.) this was more difficult than a "normal" house sale. All was handled extremely well by Mary Gillard.

Professional but had the personal touch
During the most saddest/hardest time in my life due to the death of my daddy/brother I was lucky to have my solicitor Francesca Hayward and conveyancer Mary Gillard. I cannot praise my solicitor enough - helpful, kind, supportive. Nothing has been too much trouble for her or for Mary. If I wasn't sure they guided me and they are a huge asset for Heringtons. I would recommend this firm to anyone and I will be using them in the future. Professional but had the personal touch. Wouldn't have got through it without them.

My experience of Heringtons
I have used this firm over the past three years to buy and sell a flat and to make a will.
I have throughout found interaction with the team easy and reassuring. I feel supported by the staff and have confidence in them. In a word I found the team, especially Mary Gillard, excellent.

Buying and selling my home
Mary my solicitor was very supportive and encouraging throughout this long and stressful period. She always got back to me immediately she was able and offered good and sound advice. I had previously used this firm when making my will and have always found everyone to be very pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. I have no problem recommending their services.
