Very good experience
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.
A representative from Machins Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 02 July, 2025:
Dear John, Thank you for your kind feedback. We're pleased Holly, Sheree, and their teams provided professional and transparent service on both occasions. We look forward to assisting you again in the future. Best regards, Machins Solicitors

We cannot fault the work by Mr Nigel Gibson-Birch on our Mother's estate. It was reassuring to know that we felt in very safe hands and that the work was undertaken quickly and efficiently.

Reena vendara domestic abuse
I can not give enough praise to Reena family law with what had to be the worst experience in my life to have my 2 babies removed from my care due to domestic abuse.
I was in an awful state and Reena walked me through it all I was facing them being adopted by the authorities Reena was available at any time to me even contacting me out of hours and going over and above for me.
The staff at reception were all so lovely and welcoming I am emotional and will be for done time I can’t give her enough thanks she is a great solicitor and knows her job.
Machins are blessed to have her thank you again
A representative from Machins Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 16 June, 2025:
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Kirby. We’re truly touched by your kind words and glad that Reena and the team could support you during such a difficult time.

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.

Thank you Machins! Radha was so helpful and went out of her way to help me with a seemingly small and insignificant task. She was so kind and so understanding of my needs. I had a very different interaction with another firm a matter of hours before speaking with her & her professionalism shone through - she really was a breath of fresh air. Will highly recommend going forward!
