I haven’t got a bad word to say about the service Kate and Andy of Leonard Gray provided during the sale of my mothers house. They performed all the viewings, dealt with the potential purchasers, offers and negotiations. Once an offer was accepted they provided updates on progress after having spoken to purchaser and solicitors. They made a potentially stressful process as painless as it could be.

Very glad to have engaged with Leonard Gray Estate agents on the purchase of my first home. Kate Green was especially helpful in making sure I was aware of every detail, in answering all of my many questions, and in keeping me informed at all times. Process completed smoothly in just under two months.

My husband and I used Leonard Gray LLP to write our Wills. Clive Burrell and his team are extremely professional, helpful and friendly. Clive took time to explain everything and was happy to answer our numerous questions during our meetings. I would highly recommend this Solicitors practice.

We have used Leonard Gray for Conveyancing on two occasions - both experiences have been first class. Gill Henderson kept us informed throughout the process and always returned calls and emails promptly. Gill was easy to liaise with regarding any queries and always friendly - really happy with the service.

We used Leonard Gray 10 years ago to handle our Wills and needed new updated Wills. Again, impressed with the professional but relaxed manner and expert advice given throughout the whole process.

I can honestly only say that the experience I had with Leonard Gray was a first class service from start to finish and a special mentioned and thanks to Maria who I only have praise for. A very professional service from Maria and her knowledge was of the highest level and a friendly voice that I would use again without doubt.

Leonary Gray were absolutely outstanding in our move, they chased down every problem, went above and beyond and communicated brilliantly. Without them, it wouldn't have happened. Have no hesitation in recommending them.

I have been so glad we chose Leonard Gray to sell our house.
From Day One, Kate and Andy have been extremely helpful, at every stage of the sale.
Despite selling during the Covid 19 pandemic, we were kept regularly and fully informed as to how each stage of the sale was progressing. Any queries were immediately answered by such an efficient, sincere and genuinely caring team.
The Solicitors too, were extremely helpful and efficient at all stages of sale. I'm so glad we made the right choice to sell through Leonard Gray and wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.

Kate and Andy at Leonard Grey estate agents were both just AMAZING! I would never use anyone else to sell my property. They always kept us in the loop and were so honest from start to finish. Kate was instrumental in making sure our sale got through to the exchange stage. Both of them would always call you back and just went above and beyond on every occasion. So professional and totally faultless.
Kirsty at the solicitors was also so polite and helpful and always gave her honest advice.
Thoroughly recommend the solicitors and estate agents.

Diabolical service it’s no wonder they have such a terrible reputation. Ashley the receptionist shouting down the phone and when I asked to make a complaint Barbara the practice manager said “let’s move on from that we won’t deal with that now” and reused to log a formal complaint despite me reminding her it’s a legal obligation (surely they’d know… this) she then hung up on me.
Eventually when Ashley answered again and I explained I would share my review she threatened me by trying to “remind me that they are solicitors and would deal with
