Having just completed our sale, I found Gilroy Steel to be very helpful and communicated with us every step of the way. In particular we dealt with Donna Walker who was at all times polite and kept us updated through the process. Highly recommended.

After being recommended by our financial advisor we checked these solicitors reviews and were concerned at the seemingly low rating however we couldn't be more wrong. From the home visit to completion we cannot fault this company with their service. Dealt with queries promptly very polite staff. we take this opportunity to thank Harriett and her staff for dealing with our affairs in a such a professional manner and we would not hesitate to recommend this company to others

Gilroy Steel (Northampton) provided a first-class service on my recent property purchase. They exceeded my expectations by providing an efficient service where precision, good judgement and excellent organisation were all paramount. They also gave me advice and support on issues relating to the market, protections and even insurance, which took their client-care to the next level.
Samantha Thomson has been such a warm, calm and attentive solicitor amidst what is a very busy time for conveyancing solicitors (given stamp duty holidays etc). I am delighted they are continuing to help me in my endeavours
