Not knowing what was required to get married in India, I found Neil’s help invaluable. He explained everything I needed to do clearly and made the whole process straightforward. He was professional, knowledgeable, and very informative throughout. The office is in a great location in Hull, and the service was very affordable. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing assistance.

I had to get some documents and ID certified for my mum, whilst dealing with probate, changing the Deed title and registration change of ownership with Land Registry. Neil was very easy to deal with after I reached out to him, to see if he could help me by email. He got back to me the following day to say he could help. I arranged appointment at his premises for following week. At our appointment Neil greeted us, and took us into his office, where he photocopied mums ID and documents then signed and certified them, then put seal on each one. Neil came across very professional and friendly too, my mum is very happy with the service she got. Thank you
