A test of endurance!

We were selling my late Aunt’s retirement flat and the sale dragged on for over 10 months. Gurjit and her team are so professional and they did all they could to get the sale to completion through dealing with a difficult chain above our sale. I cannot speak highly enough for the work undertaken.

Relative Estate Closure

Professional and courteous. The process was completed successfully, although it took longer than I’d anticipated. I appreciate that some delays may have been outside the firm’s control. That said, I would have appreciated more regular updates on the status and likely timelines to help with planning, as I often felt I had to chase for progress. With that in mind, the service was professional and knowledgeable overall, and I would still recommend them.

Exceptional customer service over past 7+ yrs to myself and close family members. Can't praise enough for comsistently high standards of client care. Reasonably priced LLP offering an enviably wide range of services. Local, fairly priced. (What's not to like, er... possibly location can be tricky at peak rush hrs?) RECOMMEND.

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 for taking the time to leave a review. It means a lot to us that you chose to return to the firm to handle the sale of your mother’s house — we’re glad we could support you again. If we can assist with anything further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

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!

The service from Gill at Machins was excellent. She communicated well throughout the process, and on one occasion when she was concerned about a decision I was making, telephoned to discuss with me. Excellent service at a good price. 100% recommend

Fantastic Lawyer

I was referred to Joe for his expertise in Family Law. I had a somewhat complex case which various local authorities were involved with. Joe got the order I wanted in place at our very first hearing - say no more. Joe is kind, understanding, compassionate and is most of all supportive and a great communicator. Kudos to his team too.

The service, professionalism and communication from Jackie has been outstanding. She dealt with our sale and purchase with such care and grace. She really puts you at ease and is always willing to answer questions, no matter how big or small. Cannot recommend her highly enough. We feel very lucky she dealt with our case, and we hope Machins know how lucky they are to have her. Now to pop open a bottle and celebrate! Thank you so much Jackie, we are eternally grateful.
