You are a local Firm
You are a local firm who supported with my parents estate, so I felt confident in approaching you for my needs.
I felt heard and respected the process was clearly explained with space given for my questions and clarification.
The meeting place in the office that was most suited to me for which I am grateful.

I had a consult with Nicole Power yesterday concerning working through probate. Nicole went above and beyond to answer any questions I had, printed off some forms that would be useful and was extremely transparent in the services she could offer. What a great experience and she is someone who obviously loves what she does!

As part of a property transaction that I was purchasing via my company, my lender required that I obtained independent legal advice on the conditions of the mortgage. Having had the appointment with Harriet, my other solicitors dealing with the transaction then informed me that the wrong form had been completed (not Harriet’s fault). I was informed about this a month after we’d sent the document and the afternoon before we were due to complete on the transaction!
I rang Gould and Swayne to explain the situation. They were fantastic, and managed to fit me in the following day so I could still complete on the property on time.
Harriet is very friendly and accommodating - they really helped me out!
Thank you ever so much, your efforts were really appreciated.

I work for a housing developer and we use Gould and Swayne for all our transactions (both industrial and residential). They have always offered an exceptional service. Jason Legg in particular is one of the most conscientious Solicitors you could instruct although all the staff are very helpful. I would definitely recommend them 100%.
A representative from Gould & Swayne Limited responded to this review on 06 December, 2023:
Dear Sara, Thank you for taking the time to leave such positive feedback! We're so pleased to hear that you would recommend Jason, Gian and the team, and we look forward to continue working with you.

I have had many dealings with Gould & Swyane (Wells), usually for conveyancing and commercial leases. I have mostly corresponded with Jason Legg and Gian Floris. Both are knowledgeable and have dealt with matters in a very efficient and timely manner. I find their pricing competitive and will continue to use Gould & Swayne in the future as we have built up a great business relationship.
A representative from Gould & Swayne Limited responded to this review on 06 December, 2023:
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Nikki, A great review for Jason , Gian and the Wells team - it is greatly appreciated! We look forward to working with you again in the future.
