Sale of lock-up garage

5

Although a little unusual, GWL made the legal aspects of the sale of a lock-up garage snag free.

Absolutely first class

A wonderful experience. Mark and Sharon made the purchase of our property so simple and easy. They were responsive, clear and dealt with enquiries in a friendly, positive and timely manner. Would totally recommend and will be using them again to sell our old property.

I have used Mark Broughton and his conveyancing team at GWL in Heswall for many years and have always been impressed by their prompt, professional and friendly service.

I would have no hesitation recommending family, friends and business associates to GWL in Heswall.

Excellent in all respects

We had a difficult sale and purchase But Mark Broughton at Guy Williams Layton LLP could not have been more helpful and straightforward about our options. I honestly don't know what we would have done without his professional help. I would recommend Mark to anyone buying or selling their house.

Excellent customer service

5

High quality customer service during the conveyancing process. Regular progress reports and speedy response to any questions raised. I only wish I had used GWL on previous sales/purchases as it would have helped me avoid some very disappointing experiences with other companies. I highly recommend GWL.

Very professional and effective service

5

GWL have provided two conveyancing services and two Lasting Power of Attorneys for me over the past 4 years. I have nothing but praise for the way in which all services have been undertaken on my behalf and would highly recommend them. Issues were dealt with quickly, communication was excellent and documentation was provided with a very fast turn around.

Conveyancing

5

1st class professional conveyancing services. Prompt support, assistance, advice and follow-up from the complete team. Mark Broughton is clearly very experienced in handling property which is not electronically registered in the land registry, as was the case with my conveyancing. I also considered the fee to be reasonable and value for money. I would not hesitate to highly recommend GWL.

Approached GWL and Mark Broughton to conveyance for a house purchase. Helped a lot with making the process seamless for a first time buyer and also really pushed things along to get it over the finish line.

We have used Mark Broughton at GWL Heswall for a number of years for purchase and sale of properties having also recommended him to family and friends. Cannot fault his attention to detail and "sticking" with a case. Our most recent property sale was conducted under the current difficult circumstances due to CV19 with associated delays at Land Registry. Guided through the government guidelines to a successful completion by Mark assisted by Diane Swaine. Well done all round...
