I cannot rate Barwells highly enough

When my mother died in Oct 2023, I requested that Barwells conduct Probate, Conveyancing and finalise her affairs. During the very first meeting with Barwells Stephen Ash, he quietly but assuredly laid out the what, the how and the outline costs of my instructions. Barwells then calmly and thoroughly proceeded to execute all the requirements. This included engaging with utility companies, banks, local government, completing all legal documents - the list was endless. They adroitly completed everything, coping efficiently with all the issues. Their service was faultless. Moreover, based on performance, cost and time - Barwells proved to be true value for money. I cannot rate them highly enough; they gave me total reassurance during a very difficult time.

The Service I Received Was Excellent

I am of poor heath, about to undergo major surgery. Time was of the essence. Three/four hours later following my initial consultation with Charlotte Cordell, Adam brought a draft copy of my new Will to my home for me to approve. Excellent service.
