Gemma Tyrrell Probate

5

Due to a family dynamic that wasnt pleasant I handed over the reins of dealling with the probate and winding up of my late partners estate, as it was also only fitting as Eric Robinson were responsible for drawing up her Last Will and testament.
Gemma was all ways ready to answer any questions or qureies and kept me up to date with the progress on winding up of the estate. Once everything was in place Gemma was able to finalise the everything very quicly and efficiently
Many thanks

Ben is an absolute pleasure to deal with.
He’s professional, kind & caring - and he really went ‘that extra mile’ at every stage of my sale and purchase.

Ben was brilliant throughout the whole process. He kept us up to date and answered any questions we had even out of office hours. Ben continued to chase and check things for us until the sale was complete.

Exceptional service for development finance conveyancing

5

To whom it may concern,

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Michala, Ben, and her team. Their attention to detail and guidance throughout the entire process of securing development finance have been second to none. Michala's patience, especially when I was uncertain about legal matters related to conveyancing for development finance, has been greatly appreciated, particularly given that this was my first experience pursuing such a venture.

I would thoroughly recommend her services for their speed, attentiveness, and meticulous attention to detail. Similarly, I would not hesitate to recommend the Lymington office to any friends or family, and Eric Robinson as a whole.

House Purchase

5

Ben Smith has been aiding my efforts to buy a house for the past 2 years. (I kept get cold feet about which city to buy in!) Finally I have bought a lovely house in the south of the UK and he was with me every step of the way. He was very good with his communication and the searches, exchange and completion all ran like clockwork. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him going forward

I recently employed Eric Robinson Solicitors to help me with my house sale, Ben Smith was my associate Solicitor and he was fantastic throughout. The whole process was simple and Ben was available to speak anytime I called.

Ben Smith is delightful and so easy to deal with. He managed to deal with the sale of our property well within 3 months from our acceptance of the buyer's offer to the completion date. Thank you Ben and also to Ben Morgan who covered for Ben while he was on annual leave during this time.
