For 11 months it has been a pleasure using Martin as it has been stress free for us and the communication we have received has always been excellent throughout.

Disgusting people skills dealing with bereaved family after losing mother. They were chosen as executors of my mothers will by her. I will never chose a solicitor to write a will for me, if this is how they work and deal with family members after a bereavement. It’s all about how much money they take.

I did look here before I selected T.G.Baynes
Solicitors. I wish I had never chosen them.
I only saw for one hour Camillia Kristensen,
who I was told was a Will writer. Also a receptionist. When I received the draft will.
It was unacceptable! As soon as I phoned
and told I did not want the will. I was left
for a long time with neither Camillia Kristensen, or Kully Shoker replying or
explaining the draft will. I was shocked to
received a unfair bill £199. But No
Explaination of the draft will ? I tried on the
Website to complain, but it had jargon, I did not understand!??? The small print warning
I would pay interest! Was the only reason
I reluctantly went to pay the £199. When
I almost reached there, for the first time a
Lady phoned me for about 3 mins. She said
she was Kully Shoker . KullyShoker was not
Nice, or helpful. Did not explain the draft will. Kully Shoker admitted to me they hide
from the public!!!! I was disgusted she thinks clients are public, to be hidden from.
Not in view! As she did not help, or explain.
the draft will. I had only that one
Chance I had to speak to her. I paid reluctantly. The draft will is no use
to me! It's outrageous! Very expensive.
Only seem to want to charge, as much as they can. 1 hour somehow came to £199. Charged it says every 6 mins for
e mail or phone call. But I was unanswered
after I did not accept draft will. Do not
seem to me to be honest, from my night mare experience. They hide.
Send a will writer, who was leaving the
Room most of the 1 hour . Cos she did not know what she was doing!

Throughout was has been a long and difficult four years plus, whereby for their own reasons, my siblings enlisted me as the main representative of the process between Sion Roberts and ourselves to settle our parents affairs, including clearing and selling their home, which proved to be a most difficult task.
I can only give the highest praise to Sion who has been exceptional throughout, from what may have seemed the tiniest possibly irrelevant queries, through to the larger more important issues.
His professionalism, great communication, unending knowledge, and above all his empathy have been for me so important and welcome.
In my opinion Sion went over and above throughout the whole process, when I found things overwhelming it was as if her were holding my hand and gently telling me we would get through and we did.
Sion's support of myself throughout goes beyond words and my gratitude to him goes beyond words also.
Losing a parent is devastating losing both so close together 'just five days apart' goes beyond that.
Sion understood this and his care of my feelings and sometimes total loss as to seeing an end where I felt I could finally lay everything to rest and grieve properly, has been unwavering.
I cannot recommend Sion highly enough, he is an asset to TG Baynes and should be an inspiration to you all.
Thank You Sion.

As first-time property buyers, we were a bit overwhelmed by the complexities of the purchasing process but thanks to Louisa everything went great! We had many questions, and she patiently explained every step, making the process smooth and stress-free. Her attention to detail and great communication gave us more confidence in decisions we made. We are glad we chose TG Baynes and Louisa as our solicitors.

We were recommended TG Baynes by the agent selling our property. Our previous solicitor had retired so we had no other contacts. From the start Louisa was efficient and on top of matters, answering emails outside working hours and when she was supposed to have finished for the day. At no time did we feel the sale was being held up because of any legal delay on our side. This is quite a contrast to all the other conveyancing lawyers we have dealt with, both personally and in business. These always seemed to assume the transaction would not take place, so always had to be pressed to take action or chase matters. Louisa was in complete contrast to this approach and was a pleasure to deal with, being very prompt to deal with the issues that arose and chasing the other side when required. The transaction completed at a time which suited us despite stalling tactics and odd demands from the other side.

This Solisitors should be closed down , for nearly 3 yrs they couldn’t sell my 2 flats , mr Richard Thomas at the end after 4 loss of sales x2 buyers per flat each waiting nearly 6 to 10 month gave up & called the estate agent to tell him he didn’t think they would sell again as of a problem with the head lease , I decided to change the Solisitor in the December asking to meet with the buyers arranged through the estate agent , in the 3 months tg Baynes did nothing no work at all , but in those 3 month Martin Tolhurst a industrial lease specialist sold them , I refused to pay their bill remaining of tg Baynes bill for which 2 yr later they did a ccj court against me which I didn’t know about , I have been contacting them threatening to take them to court and they said they stoped it but didn’t but now want to be paid £8800 , the cost of about £9000 as I paid about £2100 is loss of sake bills and so on , I had paid £9100 to Wade Stevens before being told to clear their bill as recomemddd by tg Baynes when Wade Stevens wasn’t experienced in lease work either , to write a lease takes knowledge and experience , to satisfy buyers and freeholders Solisitor , I was treated by mr dewar partner like a nuisance & even mr Richard Thomas went on holiday for a month they did no work at all and I lost that sale after a 10 month wait costing me £37.000 , at the end I lost over £40 to 50 k because Solisitor companies take on work they don’t know how to do , tg Baynes even the secutary of mr dewar told me to go find another solidity if I’m not happy , I replied it’s near 10 month wait and I’m after to loose £435.000 so pls do the work pls that’s all I ask , 4 weeks later I lost that amount ,
Still today they ignore my last letter where they ask me about auction offers which it should never have been at auction as nothing wrong with the lease as I was told by them their was , also a fire certificate has to be done when I was told it’s not worth doing if their never sell ,
A nasty cruel evil solisiotrs is tg Baynes , mr dewar
And Lusia said she sent the lfp1 3 x then emailed eastate agent to say looks like they didn’t receive it to send it , but they did as I got a copy and sent it to estate agent and he sent it as tg Baynes not bothering to send the lfp1 even though she call to say it’s not sent , totally lies , I even got a email from freeholder Solisitor and other proofing they sent it to her ,
They can only do easy lease work. Do not give them anything out of the ordinary, ur loose 3 yrs of ur life and about £50.000 and their bill u £9000 ,

Judging by the reviews it seems like pot luck whether you'll have a good or a bad time with these solicitors. We're having a bad time with them being our buyer's solicitor. In a sale that is five months in, the "ball has been in their court" for all but three days (our solicitor responded to queries almost instantly). Searches that were taking months miraculously appeared when the solicitor was chased, and they've been sitting on our responses to their queries for the past two months.
There's no end in sight, their communication with our sales progressor is practically non-existent (they should give their voicemail a raise), and no timescales can be given for when the queries will even be looked at. People's lives are on hold.

Took my business elsewhere.
