We were recommended BG by family and they have been fantastic from start to finish for the selling and buying process of our current and new property. Clear advice, and kept updated throughtout the whole process. Will definitely use again for future conveyancing needs.

I had a very positive experience with Burley Geach. Rebecca Foxall has been efficient and professional throughout our conveyancing process. I would definitely use Burley Geach again for future matters.

Report
Unfortunately, I can only agree with Mr Ainsley's comments. I have been caused the utmost inconvenience and delay due to BG dragging their heels, and have also noticed a definite decline in service and customer care. I feel I have been charged a lot of money for next to no service or advice in dealing with my late mother's estate. Very disappointed.

Have used for a number of property purchase and sales in recent years and could not recommend highly enough. Through the most recent, incredibly difficult sale, I had the most incredible support where I truly felt my solicitor wanted the sale as much as me. Efficient, organised and highly professional
