We recently sold our bungalow through Haighs. The staff who mainly dealt with our sale, Sally and Julie were friendly, helpful, efficient and easy to communicate with. I would have no hesitation in using Haighs again in the future.

Akbar handled the purchase of our property. He was very professional and communication was fantastic, he was swift at answering any queries we had and nothing was too much trouble. Great service and would definitely recommend to others.

Would not use these solicitors! Absolutely disgusting service. Completion of house sale was set to be 3rd Feb, received no funds, kept chasing and chasing like begging for your own money. Process kept being delayed!! Avoid at all costs.

Absolutely disgusting service by Haigh Solicitors. Sale fallen through due our buyer who have used Haigh Solicitors. Caused delays and due to their incompetency our solicitors have been unable to process the sale of the purchase of our property. No accountability and empathy. Will be seeking compensation due to all the stress, additional costs incurred and inconvenience.

I used Haighs solicitors for my recent house move and I was really impressed. Akbar managed my case and was friendly and approachable as well as doing a great job. He was very supportive when things got rocky towards the end. I have dealt with a few solicitors over the years and friendly and supportive are not words I would normally use about them (most wouldn't even get a "great job!" rating!). I would definitely use Haighs again and recommend them to any of my friends.
