Their patience was appreciated.
Gaines and Wilkinson kept me informed all the way through, keeping one step ahead of all parties concerned. The office staff were friendly and keen to help me with everything I felt unsure of or concerned about. Thank you especially to the solicitorJulia and administrator Jackie who showed patience with me, as at times I know I can be a little pedantic. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Property transfer
My wife and I have used Gaines and Wilkinson for several years now and the reason we go back time after time is because they always deliver and go beyond my expectations. I suffer from anxiety and they put me at ease the staff are friendly and always willing to listen . I am not the easiest person to deal with but Julia and her colleagues really helped me and answered all my questions . I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone needing conveyancing services.
