Very speedy completion

Gemma and Cerys were really helpful with our sale and purchase. They were able to work to a very quick deadline and enable completion well within our time frame. We're delighted to be able to move so quickly and grateful to them for their hard work enabling it to happen.

POSITIVE: good telephone access with minimum waiting time for calls; always courteous and energetic response to enquiries and concerns; clear discussions and explanations.

Sometimes tricky on-line proformas for registering personal details and identities, especially installing photo IDs, and particularly some terms in this proforma.: this is partly due to slight language oddities: which suggest that the software is American.

Through a long and tricky process Gemma and Cerys not only kept the long chain together but kept us informed at every step of the way. They shared options with us and guided us to sensible decisions regarding covenants and more. We were in trustworthy, professional hands at every step of the way.

Fantastic Team

5

I was recommended to use this firm of solicitors and they did not fall short. They were extremely helpful, emails answered quickly, queries resolved, there was always someone available to speak to if I phoned and they made the whole moving experience a lot easier.

Poor telephone answering

2

Ringing brings up a machine with blah and options. Pressing following instructions simply brings up a repeat of message. Tried several times. Impossible to speak to a human being unless you have their personal direct number. Very poor interface and v impersonal service - feels more like a dysfunctional call centre than a solicitors office.
Used on suggestion of estate agent - poor advice.

Excellent service

Our moving process was a long one due to different factors.
Cerys was always available, helpful and reassuring. We were always confident that she was dealing with our move efficiently and competently.

Exceptional And Efficient From Start To Finish!

5

I have used the team at Glover Priest in the Market Harborough office many times over the last 8 years and will continue to! If you are looking for an efficient, professional and personable solicitor who will return your call or respond to your emails promptly then look no further! I am lucky to have found a local solicitor who always keeps in touch, tailors the service to my needs and are on a friendly, first name basis! A special thank you to Cerys who kept in regular contact with quick responses and updates, Gemma for getting me legally ready and Nooraine for her assistance at the beginning of the process! Thank you!

Gemma and Cerys did the conveyancing for the purchase of our house and they were absolutely brilliant. You hear so many horror stories about solicitors and the conveyancing process and we could not have had a more different experience! Communication was so quick, emails were responded to within minutes and they proactively reached out with updates throughout the process. We’ll use them again when we come to sell / buy again without question. Thank you!

I use Gemma Hales for my personal conveyancing matters, and also recommend Glover Priest to my clients in a professional capacity too. I cannot fault their service. They are the best solicitor I have dealt with and I highly recommend them. The whole team are easy to get hold of and when your sale/purchase gets to a difficult stage, this is very important.
