excellent service
Adam was professional and knowledgable.
He provided clear advice and went above and beyond, when additional papers required signing at the last minute to enable me to meet an international deadline.

Thank you for your feedback, Katie. We're thrilled to hear Adam provided such excellent service and went the extra mile to meet your deadline.

Fantastic for a first time buyer
Karen Coffin and Tina Turner were amazing.
As first time buyers Karen made us feel at comfortable and at ease with the whole process.
She took the time to explain everything to us, and listened to any of the worries we had along the way.
Karen made buying my first house a lovely and stress free experience, and I cant thank her enough.
Tina was always at the other end of the phone if I had any questions and always promptly responded to emails. Tina was a pleasure to speak to and an asset to the team.

I could not have asked for a more efficient and friendly service. House selling and purchasing is often described as “stressful” it wasn’t with Sophie from Biscoes.

Swift professional service, time after time!
We have bought a number of rental properties with the assistance of Biscoes Law Ltd, and every time the service has been personal, professional and impeccable, even when deadlines have been tight (twice they have helped us achieve completion in under 4 weeks!). That's why we come back to them time and again, and intend to continue doing so.

We used biscoes to help buy our first home and the service was amazing. We had a few complications near the end of the completion date and they stayed on top of the issue, Their consistent communication gave us peace of mind, and we never had any doubt throughout the process we can not thank Sam and Karen enough!

Having to deal with Biscoes solicitors (Stephanie Bellchambers) I have found them to be most unhelpful when asking for clarification and unprofessional.

About this branch
Description
Historically, the longserving Portsmouth based firms of Biscoe Smith, Heather and Bellinger, Cousins Burbidge & Connor and Lyndhurst Groves merged in 1994 to form Biscoes Cousins Groves. In 2004 in the Firm's 150th year, Biscoes absorbed Wilkinson & Co and merged with King and Franckeiss, both well respected local firms. Subsequently in 2005 a merger with Covers added a Petersfield office to an already impressive list of locations, which was closely followed by the opening of an office in Gosport. In 2006 a Portchester branch was created following the link up with the long established practice of Barry Swanton & Co. In 2018 Biscoes merged with Gurney Champion & Co & Heyes Saumuel in Ryde, Isle of Wight. Biscoes continues to move confidently into the 21st Century, whilst remaining steadfastly committed to the provision of a traditional and locally based legal service. Located in offices close to you. Emergency and home appointments are available in certain cases. We are here to help you with all your legal requirements and offer a comprehensive range of legal services. We pride ourselves in providing a professional approach in a friendly environment.
