"Having recently used Woodstock Legal Services for the purchase of a property I found them to be very professional, friendly to deal with, easy to communicate with and extremely efficient in all aspects of dealing with my property purchase. Consequently, I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Woodstock Legal Services to others."
"Thank you so much for all your discretion, class and wicked humour these past few months!!! You were a very reassuring calm voice at the end of our phone/email. We are so grateful and happy to have had you as our solicitor - you are brilliant."
"George Gilpin came highly recommended by Strutt & Parker who we used when selling our home in Scotland. George was absolutely superb in guiding us on the complexities of purchasing our dream grade 2* home. His professionalism and knowledge of listed buildings was first-class. With that, he had a wonderful way of destressing what could have easily been a high-stress situation. Best of all, his fee was more than fair when you consider his wonderful advice enabled us to negotiate a six-figure reduction on our purchase! George was a delight to work with and we couldn't recommend him more highly as a true expert in his field."
"George and the team at Woodstock Legal were fantastic to work with, quick to respond and very knowledgeable. They helped make the purchase of a property go through quickly as requested. Recommended"!
