Sale of lock-up garage

Although a little unusual, GWL made the legal aspects of the sale of a lock-up garage snag free.

Exceptional Service

Wendy Rintoul did the conveyancing for a property we were selling. She was extremely professional, quick to respond to messages and calm and reassuring when there were delays. The wider GWL team were efficient and polite.

I would strongly recommend this company, indeed, other family members are already employing GWL.

Absolutely first class

A wonderful experience. Mark and Sharon made the purchase of our property so simple and easy. They were responsive, clear and dealt with enquiries in a friendly, positive and timely manner. Would totally recommend and will be using them again to sell our old property.

Thank you Wendy for all the hard work you put into selling our property. Your calm presence and professionalism made a great deal of difference to a latterly stressful sale.

A Service Second to None

I have used Mark Broughton and his conveyancing team at GWL in Heswall for many years and have always been impressed by their prompt, professional and friendly service.

I would have no hesitation recommending family, friends and business associates to GWL in Heswall.

Excellent in all respects

We had a difficult sale and purchase But Mark Broughton at Guy Williams Layton LLP could not have been more helpful and straightforward about our options. I honestly don't know what we would have done without his professional help. I would recommend Mark to anyone buying or selling their house.

Excellent customer service

High quality customer service during the conveyancing process. Regular progress reports and speedy response to any questions raised. I only wish I had used GWL on previous sales/purchases as it would have helped me avoid some very disappointing experiences with other companies. I highly recommend GWL.

Have used them for conveyancing of two property sales now and both times was glad of the responsiveness and thoroughness compared to poor experience elsewhere. Very happy with the service and would definitely use again. Special thanks to Wendy - you're a star!

Looking for a Solicitors who offers value for money and a high level of professionalism they look no further! The service provided by Wendy and the team was exceptional, eg. Always returned my calls, never had to call back, always friendly. Will be using again if the need arises. 5*
