Worked with Martin & Laura who were both efficient in their dealings in bringing the transaction to a smooth finish. Would highly recommend RIAA.

Martin Alfreds and the team have been exceptional. Steering my husband and I through what was a truly draining process. Martin was always available to speak to us, giving reassurance where needed and honest advice throughout. Martin’s humour shone through and was always a light relief when stress levels were elevated. Highly recommend instructing Martin and the conveyancing team at RIAA Barker Gillette.

Martin went above an beyond to deal with both difficult matters on my side as well as our counterparts. He made what would have been an extremely stressful series of events manageable keeping me informed at every step of the way.

Exceptional.
Our experience with RIAA Barker Gillette has quite frankly nothing short of exceptional. Martin Alfreds led as Solicitor for the purchase of our property. Efficient, proactive, responsive, diligent, everything you could hope and want from a Solicitor - but with the bonus of being a thoroughly pleasant personality to deal with. Martin was recommended to us by the Estate Agent, and we could not be more grateful. Faultless from start to finish.

I could not have been happier with the service provided by Martin. He went above and beyond throughout our property sale and purchase. During what was a very tricky time, Martin was our saviour! Professional, committed and positive at all times, I couldn't recommend Martin and RIAABG more. I shall certainly be using the firm again.
