Excellent service provided

Ashley was particularly outstanding—she took the time to explain every step clearly, ensuring I understood all legal aspects without unnecessary jargon. Her attention to detail and proactive communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
What impressed me the most was their dedication to achieving the best outcome for me. They were always available to answer questions and provided timely updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend EMG Solicitors

Excellent Service

This is the third time that we have used EMG and every time we have been extremely happy with the service that we have received. They have kept us informed and are always happy to answer questions. Everyone that we have dealt with has been friendly and professional. Would certainly use them in the future and recommend them to others.

Supper efficient.

Dealt with the sale of our house and an awkward auction purchase. Manage to squeeze both in before the stamp duty increase which basically saved us their fees. Just on point with chasing up queries and sorting out the details. Kept us well informed throughout the whole process. Will use them again. Thank you.

Would highly recommend

We worked with EMG for the sale and purchase of our properties and found the whole process straightforward and stress-free, due to their professionalism and efficiency. They responded to all of our queries in a timely manner and kept us well informed. Everyone we dealt with was approachable and friendly, making it a pleasurable experience, notably Susan Cozens.
