Nicola and the team at Hay & Kilner have assisted me with a number of property transactions of varying sizes and complexity, often to very tight deadlines.  As a rapidly growing business we do tend to put our advisors under a lot of pressure to meet the needs of the business and Nicola has never failed to deliver as promised and always does so in a very professional and customer focused manner.  I have been impressed with the breadth of knowledge of the team at Hay & Kilner and am pleased to be working with Nicola on property matters.

I have known Nicola since the mid 1990s and used her and your firm’s legal services ever since, as both a commercial finance broker and a care home operator. She is professionalism personified, works very long hours whatever the day of the week and is incredibly committed. She has a vast knowledge of commercial property title law and is my ‘go to’ person for anything title-related, especially our own stock, which she knows with the efficiency of a search engine! She is also kind, highly personable, good fun and my wife and I consider her a friend, comfortable in her company even after long gaps between meets, a true sign. I would recommend her to anyone considering using legal services.

Nicola Tiffen is the best commercial property lawyer in the North.
