We made the mistake of using Gaby Hardwicke in 2014 and found out years later that we were entitled to stamp duty relief on our purchase as the property had an annexe(separate dwelling)! They did not inform us of this, even though they are supposedly the “professionals” so when we heard of it through a friend and tried to reclaim the £9000 it was too late so they gave us a mere £2000 as compensation. Then this year when we sold the property our solicitor was thorough enough to discover that part of “our” garden was still registered to the previous owner! This incompetence from Gaby Hardwicke delayed our house move and cost us a further £1000 in fees and charges!

The reviews here are extremely mixed for GH, but perhaps that's to be expected with firms of solicitors where the quality of individual solicitors varies.
My father buys and sells property regularly, and the recently purchased a property with Melanie Verth as his solicitor. I knew then that if I moved again I would ask Ms Verth to handle the sale and purchase. The time came, and the move was complex due to various issues with the apartments at each end of the move, combined with a short timescale mandated by the purchaser (two months from offer to completion) and a slow-acting purchasing solicitor.
The quality of Melanie's technical advice was extremely strong, she was personable, diligent, as tenacious as a lobster and, above all else, a pragmatist and flexible; put otherwise, I felt strongly that Ms Verth was focused on finding solutions to the many problems we faced rather than simply stating the legal position and letting the cards fall as they might.
The fees were more than some others, but in the specific case of Ms Verth, if you've a complex sale, difficult solicitors on the other side, tight timescales or something else you fear may be a major problem, I suggest consulting Ms Verth.

As an employer facing a discrimination claim, turning to the expertise of Gaby Hardwicke prevented a lengthy employment tribunal. Matthew Grant, our solicitor handled our case with the confidence and ensured we understood the process and were kept fully aware at every stage. The situation had the potential to cause a lot of worry and stress, however the great legal knowledge and communication reduced this significantly. We have no doubt that we won our case having trusted Matthew and Gaby Hardwicke.

I have used Gabys recently for two big things in my life (sorting out an adoption and getting wills written) and i could not have been happier with the service I received. Every communication with the firm has been professional and friendly and I feel complete trust in their service.

We have used Gaby Hardwicke on several occasions over the last 10 years - for family law, commercial law and for a medical negligence case. They have seen us through various personal and business changes, challenges and issues. They have always been absolutely trustworthy, willing to listen, genuinely caring, measured, knowledgable and honest. It has always been a relief to have the team at Gaby's on our side when things have been tough or just to give us the professional guidance and direction we needed. We really felt they understood the issues and gave us clarity through those. Also, having used various other solicitors in the past, Gaby Hardwicke are the firm we have most confidence in and who we have - in ten years - never had a bad or questionable experience with.
We would recommend them wholeheartedly - in particular Mark Williams, Jeremy Laws and (in Bexhill) Iona Smith.

Following a recommendation I used Gaby Hardwick for the conveyancing on a recent purchase, I was very impressed with their speed of response and the level and quality of communication. I will undoubtedly use them for future services and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking a quality legal firm.

I have been a client of Gaby Hardwicke for over 25 years requiring their expertise for numerous different types of legal services. Gaby Hardwicke have always provided an excellent service, on this occasion from Andrew Tress based at the Hailsham office. Andrew has always been available to speak to on the telephone, he answers emails very quickly and has kept me informed throughout. I would recommend his services without hesitation.
