I’m a happy and contented with my new will
Clare has done everything I could have wished for. She offered advice that hopefully leads to a smooth outcome. I could not have wished for better guidance.
Many thanks.

First time buying helped by this firm

Sue was very efficient and professional. I was kept informed of progress and she had the patience to deal with a slow and unresponsive firm on the other side. A good experience and Sue is someone I'm happy to recommend.

Property sale

1st class service from start to finish. Sue Lloyd assisted with Henry Gordon managed the exchange and completion of my property extremely effectively under a tight timescale and with numerous queries raised buy side. I would not hesitate to recommend their services and will certainly be using them in the future.

Thank You

I had been putting off making a Will for years for various personal reasons and I was still very apprehensive when I made an appointment to see Clare at Hansells Solicitors. However, I should not have worried as from our very first meeting Clare was calm, kind and understanding, she took great care in helping me write my Will and I felt that I could speak to her in confidence. It was actually a very simple process and Clare explained that I can add notes to be kept with my Will in the future. I feel relieved and happy that something I dreaded doing is now done and it wasn’t scary at all. Clare also helped making LPA’s and they are now being registered. Another very important job now ticked off.
My grateful thanks to Annmarie also as she showed kindness and understanding when I wanted to change something in both my Will and the LPA’s, I hope I wasn’t a nuisance and you were always patient. You gave me confidence in changing a couple of details. I cannot praise or thank Clare and Annmarie enough. I feel that I can approach them anytime in the future without worry. Peace of mind.

Just had a very poor experience with Hansells. I've been using them on a regular basis to complete guarantee forms and certificate of confirmation, including as recently as 3-4 weeks ago. I proceed to use them again for the same service today with the meeting all set up. I attend the meeting and am told the fees have now increased by 67%! No advance notice beforehand so I'm at least prepared and subsequently can make an informed choice. They had a whole week to tell me. Not good customer service. The price they paid is no further business with me including today (I walked out disgusted) and hopefully other people reading this will mean they decide to use a different solicitor.

I have been involved with the team at Hansells for a number of months now, and can truly say its been an absolute privilege!
Every team member I have had the pleasure to meet or be in their presence are really something quite special. Their approach to life, work and inspiring others is uplifting, and stands out for their genuine approach.
From a personal perspective I'm inspired by them all every time I'm in thier company and by their amazing work ethic.
Keep up the great work guys, and thank you 😊
