Used Machins on a recommendation to sell my late father’s house. The whole process was very easy with no hiccups or delays along the way.
Very professional throughout and kept informed throughout the process.

Excellent service

I have had cause to use Machins twice recently, initially I was helped by Holly Baker and her team who I found to be extremely professional, providing a clear pricing structure and keeping me up to date with progress at every stage. As a result I used Machins again, this time with Sheree Yorke and her team and once again matters were concluded with the utmost professionalism.
Would definitely use again.

Mr Gibson-Birch was incredibly professional, informative and efficient to deal with. He was extremely personable which made probate and the sale of my parents house easier. I felt very confident knowing that all paperwork was dealt with correctly.

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!

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.
