First Class Service

5

As first time buyers Stephen took time to explain the process to us and was very prompt at replying to any questions we had. He was very knowledgable and kept us up to date at every stage of the process. We have recommended him to a number of friends and family and would not hesitate to use him again.

Great service buying and selling property

5

Stephen and Rachael have provided us with great service over the last few years. We have bought and sold a few properties via Meaby and Co. Their responses are always quick and helpful, and they have progressed things as fast as possible for us on a couple of purchases/ sales. Stephen has been a great help dredging up old paper work for me, as my record keeping didn't keep on top of all documents. Many thanks to you both, it's always a pleasure to work with you both, and nice to get back in touch with familiar people. We will be back if the need arises again down the line.

Excellent experience

5

Stephen was very helpful. This was not a straightforward matter as the seller died just between exchange and completion. Stephen was calm and reassuring.

House sale.

5

I went to Stephen at Meaby & Co. as a result of a recommendation.
What should have been a straight forward transaction slowly but surely became more and more complicated. Stephen kept me informed every step of the way and advised me accordingly. I felt that Stephen had my best interest at heart at all times.

I have used Meaby and Co on 3 occasions now and have been very impressed with the level of service as well as the ongoing advice throughout the process. On each sale there were specific challenges which had to be overcome. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this firm for property transactions.

Conveyancing

Stephen Carr has dealt with many property items for me and i found him to be very straightforward and easy to deal with. He is also very quick to return any calls and messages. I would not hesitate to recommend him and will always use him in the future. I also had a lot of dealings with Giselle who again was also very nice and helpful. Overall the service from Stephen and everyone i dealt with at Meaby & Co was extremely good.

Stephen and team worked super efficiently in the conveyancing of my house purchase. The responses to email queries were fast, unlike my previous few solicitors who took ages to respond and conveyancing work was progressed at a leisurely pace. This solicitor company is definitely one of the best I have used. Their customer service and work is highly commendable.

Stephen and the team were first class. Kept me informed on my house purchase throughout, were ruthlessly efficient and offered clear, concise advice.

Highly recommend.

I have been really happy with the experience I had with Meaby & Co. Stephen Carr was my solicitor and Rachel Cobb the Legal Executive. They helped me at every step of the way thorough a challenging and drawn out newbuild property purchase, their support was much appreciated. Rachel was extremely responsive on emails and phone and had answers to all my questions at all stages.
Thank you again.

Stephen Carr was exceptional in our recent house purchase. The vendors were using particularly incompetent solicitors and Stephen went above and beyond to ensure our purchase went through. Stephen pays particular attention to detail and made sure that everything was in place for our protection whilst we live in the property and for when we sell it in the future. I’d highly recommend Stephen & Meaby and co.

Meaby and Co dealt with the conveyancing process for my property purchase in Dorking. I found them to be very professional and thorough, dealing with a number of complicated issues.
They kept me well informed with excellent communications and I will employ them again. Rachael was approachable and a delight to deal with.
Thank you Meaby & CO
