The Government is suspending HIPS from 21st May 2010. There will be many lawyers thinking about time too.

HIPS were viewed by many as yet another tax to swell the Governments coffers without helping most ordinary people with moving house.

The downside is that many thosands of jobs may be lost as a result.

Client feedback

Winston’s were well reviewed when I was searching for a solicitors to use for my first house purchase. As a first time buyer I had little knowledge of the process but Michelle at Winston’s was excellent and helped me through every step of the way. I would highly recommend Winston’s to anyone looking for solicitors for a house move!

Michelle was brilliant. During a time that can be stressful (buying a house), Michelle continually kept me updated, she responded to any emails very quickly and was very thorough. I’d highly recommend Michelle I will definitely be using Winston Solicitors again.

I dealt with Emily regarding my will; she was professional and a pleasure to work with.

My husband and I finally got around to having wills written via the charity scheme (St Gemma's). Emily was great at talking us through the options, answering our queries and setting this up professionally, personably and in a timely manner. I would recommend Winstones to others and would use them again for any legal work we may require in the future.

My situation is fairly straightforward with a couple of areas on which I needed a bit of advice. The solicitor was very helpful at explaining the possible options. The process was thorough and executed in a timely way.
