First time buyers!
We completed on our first home in August and couldn’t recommend Rosie enough. From day one, she was professional, friendly, and incredibly supportive, making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Rosie explained everything clearly, kept us updated at every stage, and was always quick to respond to our questions—no matter how small. Thanks to her attention to detail we were able to move into our new home without any unexpected hiccups. We love our new home so much already! Thank you, Rosie!
A representative from Machins Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 13 August, 2025:
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Ophelia. We’re delighted Rosie made your first home purchase a smooth and positive experience. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her, and we wish you many happy years in your new home.

If it was possible to give 0 stars…
This place is horrible and very intrusive for the wrong reasons, the solicitor Jennifer and Reena along with the manager Sarah are very unprofessional hence why I had to go through three firm members just to represent my case properly. This place is a charity and if you want good representation it’s worth going somewhere where your not left feeling empty.

The property team at Machins recently helped me with the sale of my late mother's house. From the initial call to through to the completion of the sale, my experience was very good. Gill and her colleagues handled everything diligently and professionally, explaining the process and ensuring all the paperwork was completed and ready. They kept me updated throughout and were very responsive at all times. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for property conveyancing.

From an estate agent perspective - they come highly recommended. I dealt with Gurjit throughout a transaction as one of my clients was using her. She is exactly what you want to help you through the stress of buying/selling a property. Constant updates, if anything needed chasing, she was quick to respond. A testament to the company - highly recommended!
A representative from Machins Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 19 June, 2025:
Thank you for your review. We're pleased to hear that your experience working with Gurjit was a positive one. We understand how important clear communication and responsiveness are during property transactions, and it's great to know that this was reflected in your dealings with us. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to working with you again in the future.

When our mother died they were helpful in supplying her will, so we went back to them when selling her house. We were not disappointed, as they were very efficient, keeping us informed at each step and working quickly with the sale.

Over the last 8 years Eugene Pritchard at Machins has helped me buy two homes and sell one. I wouldn't want to work with anyone else. Knowledgable, diligent, responsive and reassuring. I have already recommended Machins to several friends.
