Jagruti and her team helped us buy our first house ever and we had an amazing experience! Any questions we had were answered promptly and the whole process was made seamless (And we never felt they were too busy to deal with our stupid/basic legal questions). Thank you Jagruti, Jeremy and Michelle for your support!

For a second time, we engaged Jagruti & Jeremy to deal with the sale of a house for us. This one was a probate sale. They are both exceedingly professional, helpful and efficient. The telephone is answered without fail, as are emails. They made the process easy for us. They are a pleasure to deal with and we highly recommend them. We went back to them because they were so good the first time.

Having dealt with Collins@Hoy for probate and house sale and purchase I found the customer service to be "excellent, " a rare commodity at present. If you are looking for a solicitor, at a fair price that keeps you well informed. Look no further.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness It is impossible to get in contact. I had to call daily for weeks and threaten to leave before getting response. A case which could have been complete in a year took 3 years and its still not complete. My advice is look elsewhere.

Fantastic service from Jagruti and Jeremy in line with my house purchase. They have been diligent, responsive and explained exactly what was required at every step of the way and kept me informed throughout. I would not hesitate to refer them on to friends and family. Thank you again!

Having dealt with Collins and Hoy solicitors I have to call out the professionalism and responsiveness of Ms. Rawal - she has supported me on two of my property purchases and it's always done to a high quality. Very pleased with the service. Thank you.

I would not recommend this firm to anyone. They will waste your time, use up all your savings and exhaust you before encouraging you to take out a private loan from a firm that they recommend to continue with legal proceedings. It may appear professional at first and to your benefit initially but you will then eventually realise that they're just there to generate more business out of you. My sincere advice, please think twice before considering this firm.
