Exceptional Service & Support from our Solicitor - Samantha Marandi

Samantha Marandi was our solicitor for the selling and purchase of our new property. Right throughout Samantha would keep me updated and would respond immediately with any concerns we had. We had an exceptional case were there were issues with the solicitor at the bottom of the chain which nearly caused our chain to collapse, however if it wasn’t for Samantha going above and beyond to get these issues resolved I believe the whole chain would have collapsed. If you want an exceptional solicitor that also truly cares about her clients welfare I would highly recommend Samantha. Thank you for helping and supporting us through this stressful time.

Review for Samantha Marandi

Having dealt with Sam for the past 12 months with problems with our home ! We finally moved on Friday and she has supported me all through this process. Which was the most stressful experience of my life. She is professional in every aspect of her conveyancing but also a very caring nature to support you in this process. Which is sometimes hard to find in a solicitor these days. I would highly recommend Sam for anyone buying and selling a property
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Sam and I wish you good luck in your future xx

Probate

This review is for a different branch.

Once again Emma Gardner has worked very hard to help our family go through another probate situation. She has kept us up to date all the way through and though at times it has been difficult, Emma has made the experience easy for us. I have also used HCB for other things like buying and selling a properry and the service has been first rate on every occasion.

Update: Avoid Mortgage Services

This review is for a different branch.

Don't use their mortgage services.

They'll be extremely slow to reply and they'll let your fixed rate expire leaving you on the hook for a few months. My mortgage went from £900 to £1900 as I got put on variable rate.

They had 8 months to sort it out!

Now I'm in debt and my credit score was severely impacted!

Update: Raised a formal complaint - was sent to their "independent" complaints handling called Resolve Legal and of course I was in the wrong by not spotting their wrong dating of 1st of November. Stay safe out there, they are the law in the end.

Don't use their mortgage services.

This review is for a different branch.

I've involved them 8 months in advance to sort out my new mortgage offer before the end of my fixed rate.

They completely messed it up and it ended up costing me £1000/month more until my new mortgage offer was applied.

Poor communication and timing! I'd do a better job for sure!

Never ever ever again!

Excellent client care

This review is for a different branch.

My sister and I recently had dealings with Sharon Ferguson and Alex Martin at HCB solicitors Leigh, Sharon regarding my sisters divorce and Alexandria regarding both of our wills.
Sharon went above and beyond always returning calls from us promptly and dealing with what ever we needed efficiently, Sharon is such a friendly lady that put both my sister and myself at ease, and took her time carefully explaining everything to us, because as I've found out on my sisters behalf divorce is an intense and confusing business.
As for Alexandria she was another friendly but professionally lady that simplified the processes of writing a will for us, I did not intend to write my will, but I was impressed with Alexandria So I decided to do so.
I cannot recommend Sharon and Alexandria enough, and I will recommend their services if I know of anyone that's may need them.

Would strongly recommend

This review is for a different branch.

HCB Solicitors at Westhoughton are worth recommending. We had all the stress taken out of the selling of our house and the purchase of our apartment.
We had constant contact from them as things progressed.
We were made to feel valuable customers and could ask any questions without feeling awkward.
Mr Raja Khan personally rang us with updates and his assistant Robyn kept us informed throughout via e-mail and phone.
