Superb service from start to finish

Following my mother’s death Hains and Lewis handled Probate, Land Registry and the sale of her property on behalf of myself and my brother. Throughout the process their service, diligence and communication was beyond reproach.

First class service from beginning to end!

We have utilised Lydia James (and Ally Rideout) on several occasions due to their quality service when time is of the essence. We would never consider utilising anyone else - thank you so much, once again!
