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.

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!

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!

Finally, a conveyancing firm we would highly recommend!

5

Having bought and sold many houses, and also asked friends and family for recommendations, Gemma and the team at Glover Priest were the first firm we have found that people were glad to recommend.
I am so glad we acted on the recommendation, as the service we received from start to finish was excellent.
They acted in a timely manner, communicated clearly, kept their promises and worked hard to speed up our transaction when other firms in the chain were making it difficult.
I would particularly like to mention Cerys Joel, who acted as our point of contact, she was professional, on the ball, thorough, and it never felt like too much trouble when we asked questions.
We will definitely bring our return business to the firm, and will be recommending to others.
Thank you to the team for doing whatever they could to make a very stressful time as smooth as possible.

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.
