fast efficient conveyancing.

After selling our house, I began searching for local solicitors to obtain a quote. Gard & Co called me straight away and was immediately professional, providing an instant quote. We chose Karen as our conveyancer, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has been incredibly efficient in everything she has done, promptly responding whenever we had questions. Despite living a couple of hours away, the distance was never an issue, as everything was managed seamlessly via email and post. I would not hesitate to use their services again for any legal matters in the future. A huge thank you to Karen and the team for doing such a fantastic job! I managed to complete the process in around 2 months, whereas the average is currently 3 to 4 months. I am thrilled!
Fantastic work!!!

After some stalled attempts to purchase a house Gard & Co have proven to be professional and helpful every step of the way. Despite having to start over with our mortgage and numerous other issues that came up, Karen McCormick and Charlotte Bonney at Gard & Co had our back and represented us very well.

We would certainly recommend them!

My solicitor was efficient, friendly and very knowledgeable. My instructions were carried out quickly and well done. Advice was exceptional - I am a first time buyer so everything was new but explained in detail and Karen advised me so well. Bought my house it was an easy and stress-free experience. I was recommended to Gard & Co by a friend who said they sorted a work dispute out. I wasn't disappointed so would recommend myself.

You were very clear on all matters concerning me buying a bungalow. I would recommend you. As a ninety plus year old I could follow all conversations on all aspects of buying a bungalow. I have been very pleased with all your work carried out, Karen with all her knowledge had gone through any problems that appeared and was all sorted out, everything was explained to me (95 year old) and I could follow all she was saying. I thank everyone concerned and I am absolutely pleased with the property I have bought. I'm settled for the rest of my days, thanks

I can’t recommend Gard & Co enough. Karen and Charlotte have been amazing and super efficient. The communication speed is incredible and Karen keeps you up to date throughout the process. We now have the keys to our new home after only 6 weeks 😃 My dad has used Karen to sell and now buy again, and I have recommended Karen to my daughter also for her purchase. Thank you so much we really appreciate all your hard work.

My partner and I used Gard & Co for the recent purchase of our first house. Karen and Charlotte made the process easy and kept us informed at each stage of the process and would respond quickly to any queries we had, reducing the stress of the process!

Karen McCormick and Charlotte Bonney are excellent. They are reliable, thorough and efficient. Karen provides excellent legal advice and we are so glad to have chosen Gard and Co for my dad’s house sale. The sale process was smooth and Karen and Charlotte work in a timely, efficient way. My dad is now purchasing a flat which is proving to be a complex process due to unforeseen issues with the lease. Karen has been honest and transparent with us and has explained things in layman’s terms for us to understand. Highly recommended if you need a trustworthy conveyancing team.

I used Karen from Gard & Co to sell and buy my house. I had no idea what to expect but Karen and her team talked me through everything nothing was to much trouble.
The sell and purchase went through with out any issues. When we moved into our new house the previous owners had left a number of items, Karen was quick to contact their solicitor and the goods were removed within a couple of days.
Thankyou very much for your time and support to make the process less stressful
