Exceptional Professionalism & Guidance

As a first time property seller acting as an attorney of an LPA, i was overwhelmed by the whole process and needed to find a firm that i could work with Foskett Marr Gadsby & Head LLP, and i am so glad i did. From first contact with Dorothy i felt assured they were the right people for the job. I was advised every step of the way by Dorothy and her knowledge and experience proved invaluable. They made a daunting experience for me very comfortable and the speed and proactiveness from them was exemplary. I will not hesitate to use the firm agin in the future.

A truly professional service

I have recently used the company for a long drawn out transaction. the service I Received was absolutely first class. I was kept well informed at all stages and has great personal contact at all times. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. They are large enough to punch well above their weight, and yet small enough to care about you as an individual.

I wasn't passed around from one to the other, but kept the same person as my contact throughout a year long process. This is a serious Law firm.

Would recommend!

Bob and Grace were both great during what was a very difficult transaction involving one of the worst solicitors I have ever encountered. Although our initial purchase fell through Bob managed to get everything done for our second attempt under huge time pressure and before the stamp duty holiday.

Always very friendly and approachable by phone and email, I would recommend Foskett but absolutely have no intention of moving again soon!

Excellent from start to finish

The sale of our property was not the most simple of tasks being a grade II listed cottage but being in the very capable hands of Dorothy Purday filled you with confidence that things would be done.

Other legal professionals within the process were making a complete mess of things whilst Dorothy went above and beyond the scope of her role to fix the errors that others were making and supported us throughout. Nothing was ever much bother for Dorothy as she chased up people and had the process moving in a forward direction when others were just standing still.

Dorothy is exceptional and is definitely the best we have come across when it comes to knowledge and experience and I doubt the process would have gone as successfully as it did without Dorothy in our corner. Special mention to Laura for drafting up an excellent overage agreement that had all bases covered and to Kayley who sorted out the financial elements of the process.

We will always be using Dorothy for any house purchase or sale in the future as to us there is nobody better placed so thank you Dorothy for what was a tough sale but thanks to you it was made all the more easier. Ian & Ivana

Tara O’Donnell - Exceptional. Recommend without a doubt.

Tara was extremely clear, helpful, and approachable in my property purchase. She updated me throughout the process and was a pleasure to work with. However, this is not the only reason why I am recommending Tara. Tara was EXCEPTIONAL in taking ownership of my complex transaction. She handled all unexpected events, last minute changes and new sudden documentation with utmost professionalism and calmness.

Property transactions can be incredibly stressful so if you want a trusted and knowledgeable partner who will see the completion through to the end then you want Tara by your side.

Quick and Great service

We recently used Foskett Marr Gadsby & Head LLP to buy our first home and would recommend to anyone. Grace Brown in particular was extremely helpful and approachable throughout the process. As first time buyers, she took the time to explain specific documentation and was key to pushing the process forward.

Would use them again to sell/buy our next home.

Kind and Professional

I used FMGH to help me with my executor duties regarding the estate of my closest friend. This was obviously a sad and difficult time for me and I was so grateful for all the assistance I received. Chantal Percival was kind and professional, prompt in all matters and made everything run smoothly. There was complete transparency regarding fees which were completely reasonable for the service I required. I would have no hesitation in recommending FMGH and in particular Ms Percival.

Superb Conveyancer - Tara O'Donnell ar FMGH

We had a long wait for our new build apartment but Tara made the whole process extremely simple. Superb communication, very quick to respond to our queries and the summary document prepared to guide us through the contract was excellent.

We have moved house many times and this conveyancing experience with Tara was exceptional.

if its Conveyances...do not use their Senior Conveyancing Executive

We have recently moved into our new house...but the conveyancer for Foskett Marr Gadsby & Head is by far the worst and quite frankly i am still surprised he is in employment.
