Executry

Longmore's handling of this matter has been highly satisfactory, and here I must highlight the efforts of Tina Pizzey, whose efforts have gone well above the call of duty.
She was confronted by a wall of falsehoods from National Savings & Investments, who would tell her they had transferred my late wife's holdings to my account but it was untrue and I could prove it.
Showing great patience with my frustration at the situation, she burrowed away and did eventually speak to someone at NS&I, who was surprisingly frank about the NS&I's procedural shortcomings.
Through her huge and tactful efforts, and using this new knowledge, she untangled the situation and (after weeks and months) the NS&I website was at last correctly updated.
For all this, Tina Pizzey deserves recognition.

She was confronted by a wall of falsehoods from National Savings & Investments, who would tell her they had transferred my late wife's holdings to my account but it was untrue and I could prove it, which Tina Pizzey saw, accepted and tirelessly acted upon.

Thank you

I found myself needing legal advice and guidance for the first time which I found very daunting and worrying. Luckily I found Hayley at Longmores Solicitors. From the initial phone call and during our meeting and correspondence, I felt very reassured and confident I had found exactly the right solicitor for me. Hayley is extremely professional yet friendly and approachable. She has an extensive knowledge of the law but was able to simplify and explain the way forward. She is understanding but most importantly for me was very empathetic towards the situation I found myself in and how it was making me feel. I am very confident to recommend Hayley to my friends and family knowing that they will be in the best and safest hands.

Conveyancing review

Louise Beaumont is a very good conveyancing solicitor. I had several questions for her and she always answered them swiftly and always rang me back if I rang the office and she wasn't there at that time. She also rang me back once on her day off work and again on the morning she was going on holiday as she knew I was worried about one particular issue. We had a short chain, only two of us, but the whole process from engaging her to completion only took eight weeks and Louise was excellent throughout.

I have just completed the sale of my property assisted by Longmores who handled the conveyancing process on my behalf. From start to finish communication and correspondence was efficient and well managed. Any discussions I needed to have were straight forward and with best advice given. Their fees were fair and reasonable for the conveyance, the process was speedy and as a result I am very happy to recommend their business very favourably. Nick

We instructed Longmores following referral from our industry governing body to assist with a Director's shareholder dispute. Longmores, John Wiblin in particular was informative, robust and aggressive in asserting our position resulting in a better result than anticipated. There is no doubt without their support our position and indeed settlement will have been much more onerous. Whilst expensive, the old adage 'you get what you pay for' is appropriate. My business partner and I are very satisfied to have the matter fairly settled and behind us.

Hope we don't need to face similar in future, but will be back if we do! Thanks

Longmores were excellent. Nat Young was very good at quickly understanding a very complex situation and acting while being mindful of costs. As things progressed as I was pleased to be supported by John Wiblin who supported me through a very challenging resolution.

Always very pleased with the service.
