From start to finish I was kept in the loop with regular updates. Amy & Emma made my experience with the firm easy. They were friendly, approachable and knowledgeable.

We have used BSG now for a few years in relation to purchase of property, arranging an Easement and dealing with a complicated Probate …our main contacts have been Emma Edwards and Rose Metcalfe…both excellent to deal with.

Excellent experience concerning wills and trusts

5

I consulted Emma at BSG to see if we needed new wills and whether to put an investment into trust for our daughters. Emma was so approachable and immediately put me at my ease. She was wonderful and her advice invaluable which allowed me to make my decisions.
Emma is extremely pleasant, professional and knowledgeable and I can’t praise her enough.
She made the whole process easy for me and I’ll highly recommend Emma to family and friends for her excellent service.

Thank you Emma

Very clear explanations were given of the process and timescales. Complex issues regarding Trust fund and severance of joint tenancy moving to tenants in common, were issues we could not have handled without Emma's advice. Thoroughly happy with her service.
