Just made buying our house which is normally a fairly complex stressful process really easy. Really efficient. Communication which is often not great was outstanding. Couldn’t recommend more

Quality conveyancing

I recently sold a house through Emily Hilliard, conveyancer at Terrells, and found her to be highly efficient and responsive. All of my queries and my buyer's queries were answered quickly and clearly. I wouldn't hesitate to engage Emily for future conveyancing or to recommend her to others.

FMT Solicitors

Thank you for your fantastic review, Kate! We're thrilled to hear that Emily provided efficient and responsive service throughout your house sale. We truly appreciate your trust and recommendation!

Very Swift Conveyancing

Emily Hilliard and the conveyancing team at Terrells LLP acted for us on the sale of our property. The process was extremely swift, professional and clear. The whole process up until completion only took 2 months. A very professional and friendly manner from Emily and Shabana also contributed to making this a smooth experience. I will certainly be recommending Emily at Terrells' to family and friends. With many thanks and kindest regards.

FMT Solicitors

Thank you for your feedback, Alison. We are glad to know that Emily and the team were able to assist you swiftly and clearly with your conveyancing. Your review means a lot to us.

I don’t have enough praises for Janice and Melissa at Franklins Law — they are absolutely amazing! They have been proactive and incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. Despite how stressful the transaction was due to delays and poor communication from the seller and the estate agent, they made the whole experience so much easier. I would 100% recommend them to anyone, especially first-time buyers.

Stephanie helped us through a particularly awkward sale where multiple parties caused what appeared to be insurmountable problems. The process went on forever in spite of best efforts and it seemed we would never get to exchange because of challenges outside our control. Stephanie stuck to her task and her experience and diligence finally got us over the line. Without Stephanie we may have lost our buyer and thousands of pounds. Thank you so much!

Review for Nicole Cardoso

I honestly couldn’t recommend Nicole more if I tried! After years of experiencing domestic abuse I saw no way out. Until I was recommended FMT solicitors which is where Nicole was assigned as my solicitor. She made me feel listened to, understood and most of all safe to share how I truly felt. Now my life is completely different, I’m living a life where I am free of domestic abuse and most of all happy and a lot of that I put down to the support from Nicole. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart Nicole.

I WISH ALL SOLICITORS were so professional. I have waited seventeen years to progress my appeal, and thankfully at long, long last I found these solicitors. I telephoned the office this morning. The receptionist was absolutely lovely, and re directed my call immediately to the right department for me to receive an update. The lady who I should perhaps not mention by name, (without her permission) couldn’t have been more helpful. What ever happens with my appeal case, I feel very confident that if any positive outcome can be achieved in light of substantial new facts (recently emerging) there is no solicitor that I have found, who can match this company. Thank You for your helpfulness and compassion.

This has taken me a long while to put together an honest review. I used Franklins law conveyancing for the sale of my leasehold flat and unfortunately I can’t write a positive review. I was instructed Janice Gabbott (head of conveyancing) to act on my behalf but I can’t say that was fully the case. The lack of communication couldn’t have got any worse; ignored emails, ignored calls, calls not returned and so on. I felt I was having a battle with Janice throughout the whole process and felt she didn’t want to act on my behalf but instead she just wanted an easy transaction so didn’t fight for my rights but instead just kept asking me for more unnecessary money for things that wasn’t needed. My first sale fell through as my original buyer was difficult to deal with, however Franklins did nothing to fight my corner and prevent the sale from falling through. At this point, if it had been feasible to go with another solicitor for the resale of my flat I would have but I was already at a loss with the fees built up to date with Franklins. I was never informed when Janice was on leave, therefore my file would get left for weeks as although it was ‘handed to another solicitor’ nothing ever got done during those weeks, therefore delaying my completion until Jennifer Garner took over and what a difference in service, she at least seemed to be trying. Whenever I put a complaint in or raised my concerns, Janice would get defensive and argumentative with me. Very poor professionalism as you don’t do that to a paying client who is relying on you to get the sale completed. Yes, give credit where it’s due, we had deadlines and Janice ensured the deadlines were met on time, however that wasn’t purely all down to Franklins as I did half the job myself to get to the deadlines. I was constantly chasing, I made calls to people which wasn’t down to me, I got answers and fed them back to Franklins when in actual fact that’s what I was paying them to do but I did it to try and make my life a lot less stressful as Franklins did the total opposite for me. I ended up exchanging contact numbers with my buyer and we ended up dealing with most of the sale between ourselves, chasing documents, chasing management companies and supplying legal documents to both our solicitors - that can’t be right?! And to top it all off, on completion day, Janice ‘FORGOT’ to transfer my sale proceeds meaning I had to go a whole weekend without my money or my flat and I never even got a sorry, thank goodness I was not relying on that money in my account! DO NOT use Franklins Law, if I can save even just one person from using this company, my review was worth it!
