House Completion.

An experience, got there in the end, took longer than I was hoping for and it felt like things were taking forever and I was always calling up with questions. If I’m honest, i didn’t like the fact that I was dealing with the Witney branch when I specifically said Swindon and it felt like I was going around the houses with the same questions. Having completed on a property my property in December, I discovered that the boiler wasn’t working and on the paper work it said it was so I needed a new boiler. Since December, my house is getting there! Would I use you guys again, absolutely because even though it took longer than I expected, I could see you were conducting business in a professional manner and you were helping me so thank you.

Efficient will writing experience

We visited to make mirror wills and were very happy with the service we received. The initial appointment was made quickly and easily and Sian was very helpful. After the initial appointment, we were sent drafts quickly, then had a followup to firm things up. All in all, very happy with the experience.

Very professional

About 18months ago, I broke up with my husband and knew I needed good, solid professional advice. Enter Sian, from Francis George Solicitors (Witney office). My ex-husband threw up many excuses for not paying me what I was legally entitled to. But Sian was like a terrier in my corner - grasping each excuse and battering them down, but doing so with a cool, calm, positive approach so that no voices or tempers were raised. It was a quiet victory when everything was finalised. Although Sian was the mainstay in the proceedings, I would like to convey my thanks to the whole team at Francis George, Witney. Very professional.

Great work

All the team that dealt with my house sale were all fantastic. They made all the stresses go away and dealt with it all. The overall team deserves credit not just one individual.
Highly recommend the service

Great support in the most difficult of times

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.
