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.

Deceased Estate

5

My father had been a client of Guy Williams as it was originally for about 50 years and after he passed away I asked them to deal with the business of the estate. Throughout the whole process they have been professional, helpful and easy to deal with. They also dealt with the sale of my father's property. I couldn't have asked for a better service and I would recommend them to anyone.

House sale

I have used the services of GWL twice in the last year both to sell and buy property. In all my dealings with the staff they have been professional, informative, keeping me up to date with all developments via email and phone. They have been easy to talk to and no matter how many questions I had they were dealt with efficiently and in a lovely manner.

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...
