Temple Bird's Sovereign Harbour Office is on the Waterfront complex, and is accessed via the chrome doors between the two parts of the Simply Italian restaurant. The door is operated via an intercom system to the left of the door. The office is upstairs and to the left; a lift is available.

The firm, which has offices in Meads, Sovereign Harbour and Haywards Heath, is owned and managed by Mrs J. Bird who has been in business for a little over ten year.

We specialise in Private Client Matters, Property and Taxation. We do not deal with Matrimonial issues, nor Crime.

Free Will Service

For those individuals over 55, the firm is able to access, free of charge, Cancer Research UK's Free Will Service. Under the Free Will Service, Cancer Research UK pays for your Will to be written free of charge. The charity asks only that you consider making a donation in your Will to the Charity, but it is not compulsory.
