Good value. We were first time buyers and needed extra help and explanations along the way. They also worked to our timescales, exchanging a whole month ebfore completion. There was a little delay around Christmas when other customers were in a rush to complete, but overall worked to our timescales and great value.

Very professional highly recommended
I went through tough breakup with my ex partner batlling for a year to get my share from family house I had to leave. All the deals proposed to me were less than im entitled and it payments over 3- 5 years. Previous firm i have contacted didnt explain much and wanted me to settle for even less than i have asked to save on legal costs. I have concontacted Francis George based on recommendation from my friend. Asif had meeting with me and throughly explained me all my options and helped me to see why the deal i was asking for is risky for me. Based on this meeting and his advices we agreed on new deal which was still a bit less than i am entitled to but more than before and more importantly paid in lump sum. Asif arranged great, profesional and strict Tolata which was send to my ex partner together with explanantion of our next steps. This made my ex partner to took professional advice and after he agreed to financial settlement in full without any additions. This despute has been settled within few weeks after a whole year battle. All thanks to Asif and his professionalism. I can onky highly recommend.
A representative from Francis George Solicitor-Advocate Limited responded to this review on 20 March, 2025:
Thank you for your review Ivana. Break ups are awful and can cause so much pain and hurt, but I'm so pleased that Asif could guide you through this tough time and get you a deal that you were happy with and resolved the issue between yourself and your ex partner. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if we can help with anything in the future.

I (unfortunately) had the need to use the services of Siân at Francis George. She has been fantastic and so helpful at every step of my process. She has communicated well, costs have been in line with what had been detailed and she has always helped me know what the options are, and what the implications may be of a cause of action. I cannot recommend Siân and her colleagues at Francis George highly enough - thank you.
