I would like to thank Michelle Pepper and her team for their work on my behalf. I have had total confidence in their handling of the transaction, and have no hesitation in using Gard & Co in the future and recommending them.

James Bedford of Gard and Co has dealt with my injury case for the past few years, whilst it has been difficult during COVID delaying proceedings. His attention to detail, hard work and persistence is second to none. A professional at the very top of his game, professional, honest, hard working and more importantly down to earth. Gard and Co as a whole are an extremely helpful professional law firm and couldnt recomend them enough.

February 2022 Max Pulston has just completed the successful sale of a property for me totally stress free very professional and the minimum of fuss. I would highly recommend Gard & Co with all legal services

Buying a house is stressful enough but we did it in a pandemic! Michelle Pepper has been fantastic at keeping me sane as she kept in contact. We had quick responses from herself and her team. Emails were answered and calls were answered which all helped to calm our stressful and very long journey of buying our house!

We instructed Gard & Co to represent us in relation to our house move and found them to be extremely thorough, easily contactable and very professional. A couple of issues had arisen in relation to the purchase and these were dealt with resolutely and with our best interests in mind. As the purchasers of a fairly expensive property, this was very important to us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karen and her legal secretary Charlotte, and we wouldn't hesitate to ask them to act on our behalf again. Jamie and Clare-Marie

Efficient and professional, yet friendly service. Max Puleston went the extra mile to complete my property transaction to a successful conclusion. Will definitely use the firm next time.

My buyer used Guard and Co when purchasing my property, his solicitor was Karen McCormick. She made the whole process stressful and was absolutely useless, we had to arrange three different completion dates before she was ready, she even suggested an earlier date before the final completion actually happened. She was not ready to exchange after having plenty of warning and even took the day off work.

We ended up exchanging and completing on the same day which made the day so stressful as I wasn't even sure I was going to move that morning. I would never use Guard and Co even if I was paid too!

I have recently used Gard & Co (Karen McCormick) for my property conveyancing and found Karen and the firm to be highly professional, extremely helpful and attentive at all times. Quick to respond to queries, incredibly thorough with their enquiries and a speedy turnaround has helped to make a very stressful time much easier. Whilst my property purchase has sadly not gone ahead due to problems identified through the searches and buildings survey, I will not hesitate to use Karen again when I find my next property. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough especially with their "No Move, No Fee" conveyancing policy.

We recently used Gard & Co to purchase a house, both Karen and Charlotte in the conveyancing department were brilliant. They were very professional and explained everything in detail and yet in an easy to understand way. Thank you both for completing this house purchase so quickly and efficiently.

We have recently used Gard & Co Solicitors to look after the purchase of a property. Our contact was Natalie Barham, one of the partners, and she was brilliant. Due to the current situation we had to use Zoom which was interesting. Natalie has this great knack of creating a relaxed atmosphere and explaining things clearly without being at all patronising, a rare gift.

I was also impressed with her ability to identify possible concerns, which I didn't spot, and get them resolved swiftly. We had a hard deadline for completion and we made it with time to spare. In short, with Natalie Barham you are in safe hands, friendly, professional and very competent. Highly recommended.

Natalie was very helpful in the process of buying my house. Thank you also to Katie who managed to see us when Natalie was busy. Made it very easy and explained everything.

I used them to purchase my home and it was a great decision, I had to do very little because they had it all covered. What's more is they offer discount to military personnel. Great firm.

Karen McCormick was fantastic at explaining the processes involved in purchasing our garage. We came across many difficulties and Karen kept us up to date regarding developments and ensured we understood any implications before advising us how to proceed. She ensured where there was the need we were insured against potential future implications so we had peace of mind to exchange and complete. Thank you Gard and Co for providing a superb service!
