Great Service

Carla was on top of the process right from the start and then all the way through to completion. She was prompt with her communication and always available for updates and answer questions.

I was very happy with the first class service I received from Larcomes.

Thank you for everything

I just wanted to personally thank you for everything you did throughout the entire sale. I honestly think the sale wouldn't have happened without you working unstintingly to achieve a successful result, whilst also making sure that I was protected against litigation. As I said, I felt like you were holding my hand throughout the process: you were so kind and had so much empathy. My mother sadly died on 12th September, and I am glad that at least now I don't have to worry about the prospect of applying for probate to complete the sale of her house.

Julian was recommended by a friend and was exceptional from start to finish. A man with years of experience who was easy to talk to, he provided information in layman's terms when the jargon got too much and simplified what was required to administer my fathers estate. The process was smooth from start to finish and since then i’ve had the odd query and he’s responded right away with the information I required.

This is the worst solicitor office in Portsmouth. If you want to get things done quickly and with less hassle then I strongly advise you to keep away from this office. They don’t even stand by your side. You constantly get asked unnecessarily questions which will drag everything and you can’t go anywhere with this firm.
