I have been very pleased with the service received from instruction to receipt of the Probate Certificate.
I am a little concerned about the length of time being taken to deal with the Land Registry issues (Transferred to your Malborough Office).
The plan submitted to us failed to show part of the land associated with Bridge House, even though it was Gardner Leader that dealt with the purchase of the original site and the subsequent purchase of the additional field.

Helped us through a difficult time by handling all of the legal matters in a respectful and diligent manner and addressing all of our questions regarding probate and associated matters after our Mother's passing. Would not hesitate to recommend.
