Remortgage Case

EMG Solicitors was recommended to me by my broker and honestly speaking I have received an excellent service.
My case Handler, Shannon Skilling is amazing and excellent professional Solicitor. She worked within very strict time lines navigating through a complex remortgage offer.

I will recommended EMG Solicitors to anyone that needs them. If you have Shannon as you case Handler, you relax and know it will be well.

First Class Service

From our first contact with Claire French at EMG Solicitors to receiving our final documentation, they have been extremely professional and pleasant to deal with.

All staff have been very approachable and only too happy to answer any queries we’ve had along way.

We’ve been only too happy to recommend EMG Solicitors to others.

Very good at what they do, detailed and strong communication. Only mark down sis that whilst strong, the frequency of communication and them calling when they say they will is below expectations

Whilst staff were pleasant there were often delays responding. The house we were purchasing fell through (not helped that the seller sent an email in the morning needing a response by 10am the following day). This email wasn’t forwarded to us until close of business that day the seller then withdrew from the sale. We didn’t feel supported by our solicitor in regard to a building query with the property
