Grant of Probate

I instructed Hetts (Natalie Beech) to obtain a Grant of Probate on behalf of my family.

Natalie kept me fully informed as regards progress at all times, and was only too happy to answer my questions regarding the Grant of Probate end-to-end process.

The entire process took much less time than I had originally expected, and for this, I am gratefully to Natalie.

As a result of the first class service I’ve received in respect of the above, I am fully intending to use Hetts to sell a property included within the Grant of Probate.

Kept in the loop all the way.

This time, I used the services of Ashley for my lease extension. He went the extra mile. It was not all plain sailing due to the freeholder. I am really pleased, I now have peace of mind to live in my home for my retirement.

Lease Extension for London Local Authority Flat

I researched lots of companies before deciding on Hetts. I was very impressed with Ashley from the first email. Everything was clear and went smoothly. It took 4 months in total to extend the lease on my flat with a local authority in London.

I would highly recommend Ashley and would use them again without hesitation.

Lease Extension Central London

Hetts were recommended to me for a Lease Extension involving a local authority flat in SW1 Central London. They have experience in dealing with Local Authorities in London and the process was uncomplicated and less expensive than I had previously experienced with a locally based firm.
Communication was clear and response times were quick. Would also recommend.

Was recommended by a company from London. Was sceptical due to distance away from where I lived but everything was done professionally, promptly and queries answered in timely fashion. Very pleased.

Lease extension

I needed help with getting a more appropriate price for extending the lease on my flat than that requested by my freeholder.
Ashley Connell was my Hetts Solicitor and i would certainly recommend him. He is very professional and understanding. He dealt with my lease swiftly and knowledgeably and achieved a much reduced price. Hetts fees are also very moderate in comparison with other solicitors yet still offering an excellent service. In my opinion five stars on all counts.
