No hassle dealing with this company

Really happy with Grey Smith Legal on the second time using this company. House purchase was handled very smoothly, then a renovation mortgage was required. On both occasions the communication was perfect and everything was done to the chosen timeline.

Excellent Service at a very difficult time...

We instructed Victoria Fidgeon in November 2023 following the death of our Dad, to arrange a Court of protection for our Mam, Margaret Grey who was suffering with Dementia. Sadly the Court of Protection application took that long, due to the nature of it, not because of the actions of Victoria, that it was due to be dealt with in court and the court disbursement fee had been cashed(it was that close to being completed) when sadly Mam passed away.(May 24th 2024). So now we had to apply for Grant of Probate. Victoria dealt with this immediately for us and she had an acknowledgement on 24th July to confirm they had received the application, less that a week later on 30th July the Grant of Probate had been received with Victoria. She phoned me immediately to give us the great news as she thought it was going to take 16 weeks.
This Solicitors firm is a local town centre based firm and it has provided me with excellent service at a very emotional time. The lady on reception Lynne, is a very warm lady and I felt like she genuinely cared about my situation and me, and at a very emotional time she was able to offer a shoulder to cry on and the support I needed, and I thank her for that from the bottom of my heart. Lynne and Victoria were very friendly and approachable yet professional.

Sale of 2 properties

Recently sold 2 properties with Dawn in the Billingham office. Really smooth on-line service backed up with Dawn only a phone call away. Had excellent advice all the way through the processes and I’m now in the middle of the purchase of my new build, again handled by Dawn. Really happy with everything so far and would not hesitate to use again in the future!

Billingham office Property purchase

I used the services of Grey Smith Legal and Kate Harker was my case handler for a residential property purchase. From the very beginning Kate demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise and dedication to a successful completion of my property. The communication was excellent and Kate kept me updated at every step of the way. To top it all, the case was handled promptly and completed earlier than anticipated. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone needing legal services and Kate Harker is highly recommended
From the Ijaz family.

What an amazing service

We used the Billingham office for the sale of our property- Dawn Holliday is absolutely amazing
. This is the first solicitor we have used that have been quick and timely with her responses not just to us but with other parties involved. We are so impressed with how Dawn has handled everything without us have to chase her for anything. We had total faith that if we asked for some information we didn’t have to ask twice. Dawn is a person that we have and will continue recommend to people.

Simply the best

The first time I walked through the door i was met with a lovely smiling and very helpful receptionist who I've got to know very well through my many visits and i have to say she has always been helpful friendly and very informative.
My solicitor was Jo Grey who helped me with a power of attorney document aswell as a few other small issues I needed help with. Her professionalism knowledge and understanding of what I required resulted in my experience being a very satisfying one.
Nothing was too much which made it an absolute pleasure dealing with Jo an exellent solicitor but also a lovely person.

Very poor service. If they show the same level of incompetence with criminal cases as they have with a probate issue it is understandable why the prisons are full.

I can't praise Grey- Smith enough. They navigated me through a sale of a house and a purchase of a house. Very good communication throughout. I would highly recommend Grey-Smith to anyone looking for conveyencing.
Big thanks to Sarah & Dawn. They were both brilliant. Thank you very much ladies. Janet & Bobby
