Conveyancing Review
This is the second time in 2 years I have used Jodie Stafford and her team at Gard and Co.
Both times we came across sticking points but she overcame them all promptly and kept me updated at all times.
I would fully recommend her and the team and will without doubt use again in the future.

Excellent Support and Service
I chose Gard and Co to complete the conveyancing for my house purchase as they gave a complete order on costs from the start. During the house purchase process, I felt valued and protected being provided with clear advice to guide me in any decisions I needed to make. I felt that I was in professional hands and that I would be kept aware of progress and any potential pitfalls along the way. Jodie and Michelle were approachable and it was a pleasure to work with them. I would heartily recommend Gard and Co.
A representative from Gard & Co responded to this review on 24 March, 2025:
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Christopher. We're delighted to hear you had a positive experience with Jodie, Michelle, and the team. We appreciate your recommendation and are glad we could guide you through the process smoothly.

Genuinely the most efficient property solicitors I’ve ever used (have unfortunately had to use 7 for various reasons in the last year). Can highly recommend Michelle & her amazing assistant Iolanda. They never missed a beat, were extremely thorough, efficient & communicative & didn’t waste any time. They were also the best priced quote out of 12 so don’t let that put you off! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. *****

A pretty good firm of solicitors in Plymouth but they have lost the best staff due to illness replacements are not in the same league remember if you want a top solicitor my advice is to get a man 5 to 10 years from retirement age they have the knowledge experience and intellect to help and advise and get you the best outcome after 50 years of finding out the hard way best advice I can give .....

My Wife and I instructed Gard & Co in relation to updating our Wills.
The process was swift and professional and Ruben Bakcsi attention to detail was exceptional.
We would highly recommend their services for anyone looking to secure their wills or power of attorney.
