Review update - 5 Stars
If I have been impressed with a business I do take the time to write a review but only the one.
I am so impressed with the consistently high level of service I have received from Nash & Co that I am now submitting my third review!
Over the years I have used Nash & Co for Wills, probate, selling a house, buying a house, selling my shares in a business and most recently, inheritance.
In particular, I would highly recommend David Cornelius and Amy Douch. Their professionalism, knowledge, skill, interest, friendliness plus availability is outstanding. At no time have I felt hurried and I have always felt confident to ask for clarification when things were not clear to me.
As I previously wrote, this is my third review and I have taken time to write it because I wanted to highlight the consistently high standard of service - thank you David and Amy.
When I use Nash & Co I am confident that my matter is in the best (and safe) hands. (I am not related to any member of staff!)

First class service
The time had come to review the wills David and Claire had prepared for us four years ago. What a pleasure to be able to have a pleasant and easy going conversation and expert advice, in plain English, from the same highly professional team, followed up by prompt action and dispatch of our now updated wills. Many thanks.

Probate & House Repossession Issue
My family were actually advised to contact Nash & Co via another Solicitors firm and we are grateful for the recommendation. We were given full advice on how to proceed with our issue in a professional yet friendly manner.
In particular we would like to express our thanks to David Cornelius, he had to explain some very complex issues in laymen's terms so that we could fully understand our options.
He liaised with other agencies to ensure he had a full understanding of our situation so that he could advise us on the best possible way forward whilst also explaining the positives and negatives of each option. This allowed my family to make a fully fact provided decision on a rather difficult situation.
I would happily advise anyone who has need of either Probate or Disputes with companies related to this particular especially if like us they are in the situation of an intestate will. Equally should we need any further guidance we will contact them in the future.
Thank you David for all of your help it is very, very much appreciated.

Probate
A thoroughly professional and very friendly service. There was always someone on the end of the phone and advice and help was always forthcoming. I would recommend Nash and Co if asked.

Sale of my late mother's property
Nash & Co Solicitors have recently handled the sale of my late mother's property. A distressing time, but the staff at Nash were superb, understanding and helped me no end. I couldn't have got through it all without their support. David and his team were superb, as was the conveyancing team.

A pleasure to deal with
A friend recommended Nash & Co to me, and I�m so pleased that they did & it now gives me the deepest pleasure to write this Review. The transaction was expertly handled by David Cornelius whose professionalism & expertise went far beyond my expectations. What impressed me most was their amazing efficiency in responding to all communications, both to myself and my wife, to reach a satisfactory conclusion. Added to which their charges were very reasonable indeed & exceptionally fair. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending the Private Client team and David Cornelius who provided us with the highest level of professional service, yet at the same time, dealt with everything else - their services are second to none.

Could not fault the process
I�m writing regarding the sale of Hatt Farm in September 2020, with the conveyance done by Austin Blackburn. I could not fault how Austin handled the sale. He was always quick to reply on any query I had, explained issues very clearly, was courteous and often with a sense of humour! All conveyancers should follow his example! Very happy! I have used Nash and Co for some years now. David Cornelius organised our Wills , Julia�Ludlow has done some conveyancing for me, and is currently doing one for my daughter and son in law, so have every confidence in the firm and� those who work in it, and will continue to instruct the firm for other legal matters in the future.
