Where there is a Will

The making of a new will is obviously not something you do every day and having lost my husband dealing with all the legal side of things was somewhat daunting. Having a solicitor who understood and was both sympathetic and kind and who made everything clear and straight forward was certainly appreciated at such difficult time. I would recommend Boys and Maughan to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation and cannot praise them highly enough. Thank you.

Redundancy settlement

George was highly professional walking me through the settlement agreement proposed by my employer. Following our initial consultation George was able to reach out to the relevant HR representative and complete the agreement in an efficient manner.

Absolutely brilliant solicitors. Communicated throughout the process of the sale of my property. I needed a quick sale and they were more than happy to accommodate. I even sold my property sooner than I expected!

Richard Robinson was appointed to help sell my flat. I knew starting that it wasn’t going to be a simple process as a similar flat in the same development had been going through the sale process starting around 9 months earlier and had not completed.

Richard was very good a giving me regular updates, replying to emails and calls and explaining what the technical terms meant. We did run into significant road blocks along a way around a unresponsive management company where both myself and Richard chased up managing to get the required information where the other mentioned flat was not able to.

This would’ve been a 5 star review however after exchange and the day before completion Richard informed me that the help to buy equity loan side had been overlooked and not completed. I was able to get a valuation carried out the next day and Richard chased help to buy customer service as was able to complete just a day late. Richard was very apologetic and reduce my legals fees by a fair amount in compensation unprompted.

As an estate agent of 24 years I can honestly say Richard Durrant of Boys and Maughan is the best conveyancing solicitor In the industry by a country mile! I have worked with him on both a personal and professional level. His dedication to his clients and resolving issues that other solicitors would give up on is unrivalled. If you want your home sale or purchase to complete with as little stress as possible then Richard is your man. Thanks again Richard first class job as always.
