Wills can be complicated things. The young man who dealt with ours listened to our needs and responded in an efficient and timely manner. It took a couple of drafts and a face-time meeting to get them sorted. We were happy with his attention to detail and his efficiency.

These amateur briefs have just tried to bribe me into removing the 100% truthful, honest and accurate review. " it's not a refund, it's a 'payment' to you to remove any dishonest review"
The review below is 100% honest factual and accurate.
BEWARE KIRKLANDS LLP ROMSEY
DO NOT USE.
Slade, their top conveyancer lies to clients about contract law. Slade should be struck off for telling me completing occurs when 'they' have the funds, not me, the seller. As I corrected you, Slade; the contract is between buyer and seller, not the conveyancers so the contract is NOT complete untill funds are cleared in the sellers bank, not yours matey. You are a devious liar, Slade, and your employee Michelle is incompetent at best, useless, I'd say. I had to answer questions from my buyer that's what I oay you for!! Refund my fee you differ not do yput work. Michelle 'found a letter in her pile' after a week, what a joke!
Funny though after standing my ground, refusing to vacate, the funds cleared in my bank 15 minutes later, so kirklands had MY MONEY all the time! Again Slade lied.
Michelle also ignores instructions and ploughs on regardless. I wanted complete and exchange on same day, requested this in almost every email to her; she replied, "Thank you for your instruction." lol then why was there a week in between?
Michelle is a liar, too.
This firm is dangerous, with no regard for clients instructions.

Would not recommend for a young first time buyer. Found them not very helpful or friendly. I was often left talking and chasing the shared ownership team (I was buying from) myself a lot of the time. Would not use again.
