Testimonials:

"Excellent advice given by Tom Bell - easy to understand, proactive and commercial."

"Tom was recommended to me to deal with a complex conveyancing matter involving multiple parties and a complicated set of requirements. He immediately understood my additional requirement of minimising my stress levels and providing good levels of communication on progress throughout the process. He has been immensely helpful in that regard and I immediately felt that my affairs were in safe hands, that my interests would be protected, and that I would finally be able to move forward after a very difficult few years. I would have no hesitation in recommending him."

"Totally professional and extremely helpful with their very prompt replies."

"Deed of Easement. Excellent Service. Superb Advice. A quick response to all communications and a healthy outcome."

"Efficiently-handled Gift Transfer. This is the second case Tom has handled for us, via mfg Solicitors in Worcester. Both cases have been marked out by Tom's professionalism, approachability, diligence and speed. The last of these, in particular, we have found to be quite a rare attribute in the professional world. We have been most impressed and grateful, at every turn, for Tom's hard work, and are of the opinion that this reflects an over-arching ethos at mfg Solicitors generally."

"Gas line easement agreements. mfg were recommended to me by a company who uses them for conveyancing etc., to do the lease and easement agreements relating to the installation of a main gas pipeline. mfg's staff were very professional, helpful and approachable. The standard agreement, normally issued by NG's solicitors, had to be further negotiated to incorporate specific site requirements. Despite the extra time required for the additional negotiations the work was kept within the budget allowed by NG under the Heads of Terms agreement."

"I found Tom Bell highly efficient, proactive and diligent in the work that he undertook for me. I have been very impressed with the service offered to me by mfg solicitors."

"I cannot recommend mfg highly enough. Tom from mfg was highly professional & approachable at all times during the sale of our old home & the purchase of our new home. The only delays were due to the other side’s Solicitors which Tom dealt with in a highly professional and timely manner. Many thanks to Tom and the team at mfg for making a very stressful time go without a hitch. Many, many thanks again."
