We used Garwood & Tan to complete a property purchase in August 2024. The whole team were always very polite and responsive to any questions, always providing updates as the matter progressed. Big shout out to Derrick, Glenda and Anita, thanks team for all your hard work!

Garwood and Tan were an excellent choice for conveyancing for my house sale. The whole process was brilliantly managed throughout by the team. Anita did a fantastic job and was always on hand to answer my queries and made sure I was fully updated at every step. A huge thank you to Anita, Glenda and Derrick for all of their kindness in assisting me in the last couple of months.

Excellent service

Garwood & Tan.
Well I chose them because of their great reviews and I’m glad I did.
I was interested in house sale and purchase and I phoned to enquire about costs and fees etc. A couple of weeks later I went to their offices in order to instruct them and to my surprise Derrick had already prepared all the necessary paperwork and dumped a large file on the table. How was that for prompt service……!
Anyway during the next few months there were the usual problems that always occur but Derrick and the rest of the firm were always on hand to help and would always go out of their way to do whatever was necessary to help and resolve things. We had an unusual three way sale and purchase with some interesting problems that cropped up but any queries were given their whole hearted response.
Usually Derrick or Anita would answer the phone personally, not simply be passed through various call centre operators. I never had any of other problems that other people find with their solicitors where they would say stuff like, “Why can’t my solicitor get of their asses and get things moving.” I was always made to feel that I was part of the family. I know that life isn’t always 100% and in life problems do arise, but if I was asked to recommend a firm of solicitors I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this firm.
Garwood and Tan. Keep up the good work and you will keep all your 5 star reviews.

Friendly, efficient professional service.

My apologies for not reviewing sooner, this is an excellent solicitors office where communication is excellent and the speed and efficiency is the standard that others can't manage. I instructed them that I wished to buy a house and less than 6 weeks later it happened. This is not a one off, this is the third time and all were the same, efficient and no problems that couldn't be sorted right away. Its the friendly and personal service that keeps me coming back, where you are treated as a person they care about, rather than a problem or a cash machine! Also easy to get an appointment and to park for free for an hour outside, and the reception and meeting room is downstairs so it's easily accessible. Derrick has given me the best advice and listened in such a professional and understanding manner on different legal matters that I have the pleasure of writing this honest review.

Efficient reliable local Company

I contacted several local solicitors regarding conveyancing after very unsatisfactorily using an online company previously.
Garwood& Tan were the only company to respond within 24 hours and I immediately felt confident in choosing them to handle my house purchase.
I was regularly updated with developments despite a very prolonged transaction and never had to wait for phone calls or emails to be answered. Anita particularly goes the extra mile to keep things moving along to completion.
Derek is meticulous at checking details and is familiar with the local area so understands any unusual situations which a distance firm may not.
I have since instructed this firm to act in another sale and purchase with confidence in a speedy completion.

Chalet purchase

We were recommended Derrick and his company when our offer for the purchase of a chalet was accepted.
We are delighted we followed the recommendation as Derrick and his team have masses of experience with chalets at the same location and the whole process went like clockwork.
Derrick set our exceptions well with regard timescales based other purchases he had handled and kept us well informed as things progressed.
Couldn't ask for anything more really.
