Purchase of unit 7, Shrewsbury
This was my first experience purchasing a commercial unit so I chose mfg solicitors from a recommendation of the sales agent TSR. The solicitor recommended was David Raymont. An estimate was offered and was I quickly sent an App for secure information transfer.
One small annoyance is I was immediately passed over to another solicitor called Rachel who became my main contact. This should have been explained on the off-set as I was very confused at the beginning why I wasn't dealing with David. I soon realized that David only became involved with more pressing matters. I can confirm that both Rachel and David dealt with some serious issues in a very professional manner and I have no complaints here.
The second point was the final cost was considerably more than the estimate. There were some issues with a lease and old mezzanine without building regs, but I was surprised by the extra hours that I was charged for dealing with these issues. I think what is included in the estimate and what is extra cost is not clear enough in the estimate. I recommend giving some examples that are not standard and could require extra hours.
Would I use mfg solicitors again? Absolutely. Both Rachel Raybould-Dear and David were excellent, and Rachel particularly was excellent with communication during the process. So well done to the team.

First class service
I needed a new lease to be prepared for my commercial property and it was urgent owing to a licence that also had to be transferred. I contacted MFG on a Monday morning and gave instructions. I was given a maximum price for the preparation of the document. The draft lease was emailed to me the following afternoon! It was agreed and I attended the offices where the document was signed and witnessed. I received the invoice for the work on Friday and it was nearly 50% cheaper than the price I was given. I will definitely use the services of MFG again

As always, Rachel and the team at mfg completed our requirements with speed and efficiency.
Rachel was informative and quick to answer any queries we had.
We've worked with mfg for assistance in a number of legal tasks over the years; home purchases, sales and also letting contracts, we wouldn't go anywhere else for our legal needs.
