11 reviews (3/5) and information for Humphreys & Co, Bristol

We have now used Humphreys in the last two years for two sales and one purchase - the service has been excellent on all occasions. This last sale has been ongoing for many months (chain issues below us), and during that time they have been patient, up to speed when necessary and always focused. Our solicitor there changed during the process but to another equally as good. They were proactive - chasing the others in the chain, without my having to ask and were instrumental in the chain finally completing. Have also recommended them to others who have been equally happy - would use them again without hesitation.

My brother and I used Humphreys and Co for sale of a shared ownership stake in London that we jointly owned. Worth noting that we had a pretty woeful experience with a different solicitor during the purchase (recommended via the shared ownership website) so were hoping for a better experience with the sale. My partner was selling her own shared ownership at the same time which allowed me to compare the differences with a third solicitor firm.
Humphreys were streets ahead of the others. Right at the start they provided a lengthy email detailing the process, steps, and timelines. None of the others did, and it immediately meant we were better informed. The timelines inevitably slipped (they were a little optimistic from the start) but as far as I could tell, not because of Humphreys. Indeed, I think it was our solicitor keeping the pressure up on the buyers that meant we got the sale through. Our solicitor did change mid-way through, but we found Bonny to be even more responsive and helpful than her predecessor. She responded very promptly to emails, and when we didn't understand something she took the time to explain. Honestly she made the process a lot smoother than it could otherwise have been, and for that I am immensely grateful.
Clearly can't speak for the whole firm, but would very highly recommend Bonny, and would definitely use Humphreys again.

For nearly three years I was embroiled in a particularly stressful case of construction law where my wife and I were the claimants.

I am not at liberty to discuss the matter through confidentiality agreements but can confirm that yesterday at an official mediation attended by 10 participants including the mediator, the matter was fully resolved to our expectation.

This was a complicated matter and even although I have been a relatively successful businessman for over 45 years with various companies still under my belt, nothing would have prepared me for the barrage of untruthful statements the defendants were claiming as true to defend themselves.

I knew that I wanted a firm that had a specialist construction department and Humphreys were that ideal firm. They held our hands throughout and their expertise was exceptional. Throughout this long matter which was dragged out by the defendants insurers, they kept us sane and focused.

They will now be our solicitors of choice for the foreseeable future (for all of their different areas of expertise) and I would like to take this opportunity to thank their partners, Paul Wong and Robert Humphreys for their ultimate knowledge and patience eventually leading to our success. A brilliant team.

The service from the first interaction up to the completion of the sale was absolutly 1st class. Proatvicely updating at every stage, patient with every query. There were no hidden costs - what they quoted was what we paid. The price was very competitive. We were first time buyers and our experience with Humpherys & Co was great. 100% recommend.

I haven't actually instructed them to take on my case yet, but I would like to say that Mr Siddons, the Partner, has been extremely helpful for my initial enquiries on two occasions now regarding contentious probate and giving me some useful tips and advice over the phone that I needed to follow up before I know what to do next. I haven't actually paid them anything yet because they are not local to me, but if I do need a firm to take up my case officially I would seriously consider choosing them.
