Home to Hertfordshire

Our first house was in Hertfordshire eventually leading to the present, but in the moves we also moved to a large London firm of solicitors. Now retired we have moved the battlelines back to Hertfordshire and are delighted with the help we have received from Longmores with our estate. The experience has encouraged us to move our accounts and book keeping closer to home as well and that also is proving most successful. Tired of London maybe, but not tired of Life

Excellent experience

The sale of our house went smoothly and quickly after engaging Longmores. Both my sister and I were impressed by Uzma's friendly professionalism. I would use Longmores again and would recommend them.

Amazing from beginning to end.

Uzma was very helpful from the very start of the moving process. Uzma was always around to answer any questions that we had, and kept us updated every step of the way. They took the stress away from us completely, and we can’t fault the whole process.

Exceptional service & support during sale & purchase of properties

We recently completed both the sale of our property and the purchase of a new home, and we couldn’t have navigated the complexities of both transactions without the exceptional support of Uzma Saleem at Longmores Solicitors. Both transactions presented unique challenges, but Uzma's expertise, experience and support ensured we successfully completed them both. Throughout the entire process, her clear and consistent communication made a world of difference, particularly during the more difficult moments. Uzma was always available to answer our calls, providing regular updates and taking the time to walk us through each step, helping us fully understand the details and complexities involved. We are incredibly grateful to Uzma and her team for their dedication and hard work in helping us get to our new home. Thank you for everything!

House sale and purchase

We would like to thank Uzma and the rest of the team at Longmores for all their help and support during our recent move. Despite problems both up and down the chain, she kept us informed and helped progress the sale and purchase through to completion. The estate agents for both of sale and purchase commented on how excellent she had been and and easy to communicate with. We would thoroughly recommend and would use both her and Longmores again for any future property transactions.

Efficient service offering helpful advice.

I was pleased to meet Richard again when he recently arranged to set up a new discretionary trust. He has a professional approach whilst being able to explain the procedure in a manner that was easy to understand. Apart from covering the legal aspects of the agreement, I also appreciated his advice when options became available.
I would have no hesitation in recommending his services.

Good advice and great service

From our first meeting with Richard Horwood we realised writing our Wills would not be as complicated as we had anticipated. We heeded the great advice offered and are satisfied that our wishes are fully covered in the final documents. We are confident that Richard and his team will ultimately guide our executor and carry out trustee duties to the highest standard.

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.
