Services
Bird & Co Solicitors are a long-established solicitors firm with three offices in the East Midlands of the UK, both in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. The Firm's clients are based all over England and Wales, and in more than 20 other countries worldwide. Every year thousands of happy clients receive our services.
In all cases and for all clients we will carry out a detailed and thorough fact find of your individual or business circumstances in order to identify and assess the legal, personal, and commercial issues you face. Part of this initial but very important process is to be able to advise you at an early stage of all of the legal, personal and commercial options available to you.
In 1979 a small solicitor's practice was established in Grantham at the No.15 Castlegate premises. Trading proceeded with modest success for a number of years until in 1985 control of the Firm was taken over by Mr Michael Bird. Mr Bird, who was admitted as a solicitor in 1969, had been employed for a number of years at a large general practice in the city of Nottingham.
Our Grantham Solicitors office is located at 12 to 15 Castlegate, Grantham, which is conveniently situated only a stone's throw from the town centre. Our office is well positioned on the high street, being clearly visible and accessible from street level. We are also within a short two-minute walk from the County Court Baliff's Office located at St Peter's Hill.

Thank you so so much to Sebastian and Jade from Bird and Co. in Grantham. I used on recommendation from the estate agent and very happy I did. They were super quick, efficient and kept in touch to guide me through every step of the process. Highly recommend and thanks again :-

Due to an unexpected and difficult situation, I had a pleasure working with Mr Paul Hardy, from Bird & Co Solicitors, an expert Settlement Agreement Solicitor. He listened to me, helped me understand agreement jargon and make the right choice. Very friendly and trustworthy person who I highly recommend. Thank you.

I instructed this firm to handle a very simple remortgage of my tenanted property in London because the firm appeared on the panel of my mortgage company and because Bird & Co advertised themselves as providing efficient services for expats. I wish I had not. Bird & Co's conveyancing team were slow, unresponsive and did not deal efficiently at all with the matter.

The only reason I was able to complete the matter was because of the amazing service provided by my mortgage brokers. Bird & Co's service did not improve despite my sending emails to the partner in charge and they did not answer, in any substantive way, the complaint I lodged with them after my matter had completed. I would definitely not recommend this firm for any conveyancing matters.

Paul was fast, efficient, professional, friendly service. I have received great advise and support from him that lead to a smooth and fast process. I will take this occasion to thank him once again. I would certainly recommend him anytime.

Bird and Co did a fantastic job of reviewing all the search documents and querying the sellers solicitors. They did work very closely with the estate agent to resolve the open issues and made the completion smooth and hassle free. They did not prioritise my file initially, but once I started following up they were fully on it and finished it very quickly. Appreciate the entire Team Grantham and specifically Jessica and Nancy for their quick responses and doing a very good team work.

Fast, efficient and reliable. Paul was my assigned as my solicitor. He was very helpful in guiding me through the entire Settlement Agreement process. He explained terms clearly and also given me advice prior to even starting the case on how I should position myself. Really grateful for his help!

We used Bird & Co for a new build HTB flat in London and overall had a good experience. They have everything well thought-out and there's a clear picture of what each stage of the process looks like via their online portal. Our solicitor Sebastian was very knowledgeable, attentive and helpful throughout. We were recommended Bird & Co, and would be happy to recommend them again as an option for both in and out of London conveyancing.

A very smooth, easy process to buy our house. Thanks to Sebastian Thorpe and his team. We would defiantly recommend as every query we had, was answered immediately with no trouble speaking to the solicitor. Fully professional and am using again for another issue.

We can't praise Bird and Co. enough. We used them on recommendation from the estate agent to buy our first home and very pleased we did. They were super efficient, always happy to answer questions, responded rapidly and went above and beyond to ensure that all the Ts were crossed with regards to our contract and anything that the vendor needed to do. Thank you for making the process so easy Bird and Co and for getting us into our new home in time for Christmas!

I had a less-than-adequate experience while settling my HTB using Bird & Co services. I managed to settle on time but I never felt that this is achievable until it was done. The communication with my lawyer was extremely poor and every time I asked for details I felt that I am being pushed back with dry, unwelcoming answers. I had the feeling that they don't have time for me and they are doing me a favor rather than a job that I fully paid for. Did I get my job done? yes. Was it a good experience? No.

Would I use them again? Absolutely not. Value for money? No, I have actually chosen them because they had the highest charge and I assumed this meant they will give me the best service. Their sales rep was fantastic and she was the only person responding to my emails and inquiries in a timely manner. The lawyer was something else though. My case was eventually assigned to a conveyancing assistant who managed to get the job done. She and the sales rep are the only reason I am rating this as 2 stars instead of 1. Honestly, I hated every bit of this experience.

Excellent service with no effort. Customer focused, value for money and right to the point advice. No criticisms whatsoever, good response and timely service. Thank you Paul for your assistance and support to date. Took all the pressure away from the legal jargon with what could have been quite worrying. Well done.

I initially contacted Bird and Co after reading client reviews myself and I must say I am very impressed with the service offered. From my first contact with the company I had a very swift response from Paul and what was a challenging situation was made a lot easier after speaking with him. Paul is very professional and supportive and took time to really understand my case and offer me sound advice.

He is very knowledgeable and I felt like I was in safe hands. My whole case was dealt with in a matter of a few days and I would not hesitate to recommend Bird and Co and especially Paul Hardy. Thank you Paul.

Given the stamp duty holiday this was always going to be a longer process than normal. However when the required deadline was imminent Bird&Co acted swiftly and the sale was complete. During the process Bird&Co always responded and acted on instruction promptly. So much better than the other sols in this process.

Since the beginning of instructing Bird and Co, I have been impressed with the responsiveness and professionalism displayed. I especially want to pay special recommendation to Jessica. I was at times demanding and very anxious, at every turn she reassured me and worked with me. Would definitely use again.
