“VAT and property is so complicated we need specialist support. Melanie Lord has helped us since 1999 give best client advice so they avoid problems and get the best answer. As a result we all look good – no hesitation in recommending her.”

Terry Fendt

Partner & Head of Commercial Property at Sherrards Solicitors LLP

“The easy to understand and explanations in layman’s terms of some of the complex VAT issues. A very personal service, understanding of client’s needs.”

Neil Aitken

“Very clear communication of an intrinsically difficult and complex subject ie VAT.”

Victoria Logue

Guiting Manor Amenity Trust

“I worked with Melanie Lord on a complex VAT issue for a mutual client. Her ability to take difficult and technical issues and explain them in a way which the clients (and even their simple lawyer!) could understand was outstanding. She very quickly grasped what the clients were trying to achieve commercially and worked tenaciously to come up with a solution that worked. Melanie is, in addition, an absolute pleasure to work with.”

Derek Rodgers

Managing Partner, Gardner Leader Solicitors

“I have been very pleased indeed with the service provided by AVS which has been responsive, clear, provided speedily and in a friendly manner and enabled me to respond to my clients' needs when required. AVS have been extremely pleasant to deal with. I would recommend their services.”

Charles Hodder

Sherrards Solicitors LLP

“Melanie Lord is a very gifted specialist in VAT matters, and will if it is at all possible find a way out of difficulties, at a reasonable cost. Highly recommended.”

Les Breathwick

Commercial property client

“We would like to express our appreciation to Melanie Lord at AVS. Due to a warehouse purchase, we had a rather large refund to apply for from HMRC. Due to recent business changes and complications, this was complicated and carried the risk of possible failure which we could not risk. Melanie explained, reassured and guided us through the minefield that is VAT, and dealt with our solicitors too. We can not recommend her highly enough. Lovely lady and very easy to talk to.”

Alison and Scott Harris

Harris Trucking Storage

“AVS always take time to understand the issues and reply in a clear and understandable format. Will not hesitate to use again in the future.”
