Residential conveyancing review

Montpellier handled my property purchase and sale separately. They were quick, responsive, proactive and very pleasant to deal with.

Couldn't recommend highly enough

We completed our house on 23rd June. Simon, Luke & the team were exceptional in their service. Polite, attentive and expedient. I've recommended them widely to friends and family.

Simon, Ollia and Hope were fantastic in taking the reins when we discovered that we needed to change solicitors while in the process of buying our first home. Every step of the way, they were communicative, speedy, informative and personable, as well as ensuring that we understood what we were getting ourselves into! They were instrumental in getting our purchase over the line before our mortgage application expired, for which we are hugely grateful. When the time comes for us to buy a house again in the future (or sell this one, for that matter!), we will absolutely choose to work with them. Absolutely brilliant.

The journey of buying a house with this team is so easy!! Simon's Team have been amazing - there has been plenty of communication throughout the whole process. Such a professional team. I cannot recommend enough, much better to use a local firm you can talk to than a faceless online only firm.

I recently used Montpellier Legal for the purchase of my property and was over the moon with the service I received from Simon, Lucy, Liam & Eloise. Every query we had was dealt with almost instantly and we were provided with regular and comprehensive updates throughout the process. The service was both professional and personable and I cant recommend them enough.
