    Estate administration of deceased relative

    Matt was responsive to enquiries and carefully steered the administration process through several unanticipated issues, including chasing up slow responses from HMRC. He understood my concerns when any were raised and was always professional and polite.

      Amazing

      From start to finish Tozers were amazing. For first time buyers which we were, with the knowledge of shared ownership - they made you feel at ease and reassured - making me so glad that we chose to use them. It’s clear that both Sarah and Jericha work in fine tune with one another and that there is clear communication between them. Thank you again.

      Excellent & would definitely go back to Tracy at Tozers again.

      Buying a house invariably a stressful experience and the one professional in the buyer's corner is your solicitor. Tracy was in my corner!! Tracy was through, responded immediately to all my emails/phone calls, gave clear professional advice, polite, supportive and kind. I have bought several homes and Tracys reports were the most comprehensive and detailed. I would defiantly ask Tracy to help me sell and buy a house again and would recommend Tracy to family, friends and anyone !! Thank you Tracy for being there for me!

      We were very happy with the service we received from Sam Reid and the team in dealing with the sale of our late mother’s house. Sam was extremely helpful throughout the process. This is the second time that I’ve used Tozers for legal services, I’d have no hesitation in using their services again.

      Mark Meleady and the team at Tozers Newton Abbot gave us outstanding service on a complex property sale in Devon and the subsequent purchase of our new home in Kent. Despite a number of obstacles, Mark & Co acted extremely professionally and showed great patience throughout. All and any queries we had were answered off fully & promptly and they made a difficult sale process so much easier. We would thoroughly recommend Mark to anyone in need of a top notch property solicitor, and we’ll have no hesitation in contacting him again if the need arises. A true 5* service…..! :-)
