Excellent Service

I came to motely and hope for a first time purchase and they were fabulous from the beginning. They explained everything to me, kept me updated and made things very easy to deal with. Claire was assigned to my case and helped me throuugh every step of the way and was very considerate and kind, she was always keeping me updated and going through things with me which was really needed as a first time buyer. I would definitely recommend Motley and Hope, everyone I spoke with was lovely and they made the moving experience nice and smooth.

5 star service Highly recommend

Claire dealt with the transfer of a property to me as part of my divorce settlement and I can't recommend her highly enough. The other sides solicitors were being particularly difficult but she always gave me confidence that she was on top of it and kept me constantly updated. She made me feel like I was her only client. Top class service and a lovely person to deal with. Thank you Claire.

Brilliant and diligent company who always had my back during my sale

Led from the front by Claire Bell, the team of Sarah, Michelle & Phoebe were brilliant, outstanding and always aware and proactive.
So refreshing to find a Solicitors who really care so much about their client, which is very rare and I say that having used many solicitors for house purchases and sales.
I would recommend M&H to anyone who is considering a property transaction. They have your back the whole time
