Very pleased with the service. I was not that familiar with modern LPAs but Cliona explained the ins and outs very well.

I contacted Chris to utilise his services to assist GBC with a lease surrender which was complicated by the fact it was a doctors surgery with 7 parties ( doctors) who had fallen out leftthepractice and disapaered. With the services provided by Chris and Team, we were able over time to trace all the psrties, oick up with each and explain the situation around liabilieis and potential monies owed. It took a while, but there was sucessful reslution. Chris was very quick to respind , offered very good advise around atrastegy / direction and overall very effiecent. Great service , would def use again and recomend,

Residential Conveyancing
Our mother's flat was sold following her move to a residential home and subsequent death just 6 months in and following our brother's death 6 weeks earlier to hers. WHM handled our case very sensitively and thoroughly. All the team were amenable and reassuring especially as the buyer was quite 'trying' on a number of occasions. My sister and I came through unscathed thanks to Charlotte. Thank you WHM.
A representative from Whitehead Monckton Limited responded to this review on 27 May, 2025:
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're deeply sorry for your losses and glad that Charlotte was able to support you sensitively and thoroughly during such a difficult time. Your kind words mean a lot to the team.

Making a will
Andrea and her team were good, efficient and making a will was made quite easy even though there was a lot of paperwork to fill in before the first appointment.
The only problem I encountered was getting an appointment to finalise and sign my will with Andrea.
I wasn’t told that Andrea was on holiday for 2 weeks so my expectations of getting an appointment wasn’t met.
Then when I finally got an appointment it was cancelled which did not please me at all!
So to summarise Andrea and her staff were good but the service was not.

Working with Eclipse HR has been a good decision for our charity. Our contact, Veronica, is utterly professional and answers all our queries in a timely manner.
Eclipse HR use their HR expertise but also their knowledge of us as an organisation when assisting, a truly personalised service.
Eclipse HR have met all our needs and have also provided us with up to date employment law when we didn't even know we needed it!
We highly recommend.

The team at Whitehead Monckton were fantastic in dealing with a very complex case of mine.
I was specifically dealing with Melissa Markham, whom was extremely professional, knowledgeable and reassuring... Melissa acted in a very timely manner and kept me in the loop 100% of the journey. I couldn't have been more pleased.
I would highly recommend this company, and specifically Melissa.
Thank you all at WM.

There’s no one more professional than Veronica Fox at Eclipse HR. Over the years she has helped me as an employee and more recently as an employer. Her advice is always calm, considered and there is no one else I would use or recommend
