Fast & Efficient

Su was a breath of fresh air, very knowledgeable and supportive and communicative. We went in to do our wills and she made the whole process simple, efficient and we had our wills back within 10 days. We are now working together on another matter and as with the wills, we are in safe hands.

First Visit to a New Firm

It was a pleasure to meet a very approachable professional who put one at ease very quickly. The work involving both amendment wills and appointment of new donors for Lasting Powers of Attorney, was carried out by discussion and agreement within the intended time. Very satisfactory.

Would never use again

A legacy has been passed between Pengelly Rylands and Morlands for over 2 years with nobody taking responsibility. No reply to emails led me to complain to the senior partner - no reply from him either. This is rude, unprofessional and displays a lack of competence.

Sale of my late mothers property.

I have recently completed on selling my mothers house. This has been complex and taken time as it was a shared ownership. P & G solicitors have acted on our behalf . I was pleased with their diligence and approachability in dealing with this matter.

To update my Wills made with Bailey and Cogger

This review is for a different branch.

I have always had an excellent help and support from solicitors since I first used the firm and Mr Graham Beach acted for the sale of my house in Maidstone and the purchase of my house in Tonbridge. The copy of my updated Will enabled me to write the draft that I required and I submitted with my letter requesting the draft of this new will. I have used the firm three times!

I recently employed Pengelly and Rylands to sell my father's apartment as executor of his estate. Despite being a very complex sale with challenging aspects, Sally Oatridge was exceptional at dealing with the issues relating to the sale and the service she provided. Her communication was excellent, she showed empathy for the difficult situation, and her knowledge and speed at which she was able to manage complex conveyancing legal matters was exemplary. I highly recommend the conveyancing services at their Tenterden office.
