Helpful, friendly and efficient. Good service.
I had changed to Hart Reade to make it easier for my husband, as we live in Meads. The added advantage was the other part of Hart Reade in Eastbourne. Both parts were helpful and staff most welcoming and efficient.
Very pleased from inception to completion – easy comfortable, but professional approach.
Pleasant and efficient service from my first contact with my local branch right through to the accountancy department. Was particularly impressed as my business had to be completed during the time of Covid 19. I will not hesitate to contact Hart Reade again should I need any help or advice in the future.
The matters, Wills and lasting powers of attorney were dealt with in a professional and competent manner and we have no hesitation in recommending this firm to other people.
For health reasons I wanted my Will prepared as soon as possible and I was pleased it was.
First class service at all times.
The update of my Will was executed in a very professional manner and within a very short-space of time.
Considering coronavirus restrictions, it all went through fairly efficiently!
Efficient and courteous service.
