Smooth and painless house sale

Emma and her team were great communicators, very friendly and supportive during the sale of our home. I felt we had excellent value and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emma to anyone.

Two house sales and purchase

I cannot recommend Matthew and Matthew highly enough. They have recently dealt with two house sales and purchase for us, and the service throughout has been exceptional. Buying and selling property can be stressful, with so many things to coordinate, but they made the whole process feel much easier. They were professional, knowledgeable and extremely efficient, while also being friendly, approachable and always willing to help. Communication was excellent throughout. We were kept informed at every stage, questions were answered promptly. What really stood out was how approachable and responsive they were, especially Emma King and Sara Jones. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they took the time to explain things clearly and make sure we understood everything. Even when things became complicated or there were delays outside of their control, they remained on top of everything and kept us updated. Having used them for sales and purchases, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. It is reassuring to have a solicitor you can trust when dealing with such important transactions. Thank you to the whole team for all your hard work and for making what could have been a very stressful process so much easier. We would definitely use you again.

Emma and the team are fantastic!

Matthew & Matthew were my solicitors for both a property sale and purchase. Emma and the team are fantastic, very thorough, and always on hand to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a more personalised, friendly service. Thank you all!

PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS! We used M&M as they're local to where we live but it is the worst decision we could have made. We had multiple problems and serious breach of our personal and financial information to the estate agent working for the other party who used this against us in negotiations. They gave out or mortgage information which breached GDPR but we dealt David who works as a director for the business and he couldn't care less. He was quite frankly rude and insulting. We also had to chase Mathew & Mathew to updates multiple times and it took us 6 months for a simple house purchase! Also we had transferred a large amount of money to Mathew & Mathew and before exchanging the called wanting the amount again, they didn't even check if the funds were with them! A lot of local estate agents get commission for referring them to you, so they believe they can charge you a premium amount for terrible service that breaches GDPR. Please avoid and don't make the same mistake as us, its been an stressful and awful experience.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that you feel this way about your experience on this occasion. We take GDPR compliance extremely seriously. As you are aware, we have had correspondence relating to this and it has been reviewed internally as required. We are concerned that some details in your review do not reflect the truth. We do not pay any commission for work and indeed have acted for you on multiple occasions where you have instructed us as a repeat client. We understand that buying a property can be stressful, and we always aim to provide clear communication and support throughout. You are aware that you were in a chain which involved a newbuild and which caused the delay for exchange and completion. Whilst we were ready to proceed to exchange for you, we could not do so until the rest of the chain could. Our team work hard for every client and sometimes this can be clouded by the rest of the chain. It is unfortunate that our professional relationship has broken down after so many years and we wish you well for the future.

We recently used Emma King to both sell our property & buy our new home. We received excellent service from start to finish. Emma is super quick & we had great communication throughout. I’d highly recommend her & the team.

Thank you so much for the review Kara, it means a lot to the team. We hope you will be very happy in your new home and we look forward to supporting your friends and family in the future.

This is the 3rd time we have used Matthew & Matthew to buy and sell and once again we received an amazing service. Megan was a star in getting us through quite a stressful process and was so quick responding to emails and concerns and was always there to help. The whole team were friendly and efficient and so excited for us when we finally completed. We really can’t praise them enough and would highly recommend them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review and we are so pleased to hear that you had a 5 star experience. We are very lucky with the team we have here at M&M and we look forward to acting for your friends and family in the future!

I highly recommend Matthew and Matthew Solicitors of Southbourne. From the moment we contacted them to deal with the buying and selling of properties they were really helpful, friendly and informative, and were stress free. Special mentions to Emma and Tina, who were absolutely brilliant! They kept us informed of the progress from the moment we contacted them. Thank you

Thank you so much for your positive review, which is much appreciated by the team! We look forward to assisting you, your family and friends in the future!

Matthew and Matthew set up a trust in my late mother's name for me and they were amazing. Special thanks to Paul and Shadihah, who were always there to answer questions and if not available when I phoned always phoned back the same day. They kept me up to date with what was happening at all times.

Caroline Cake assisted with my Grandfathers will in his words ‘Caroline was extremely helpful, she did a great job, very friendly and polite and a pleasure to deal with’ - Mr J Langston Caroline was very helpful with my Grandfather who is hard of hearing. They chatted about football, and she built up a lovely rapport with him, although he found a lot of the information jargon, Caroline was able to explain everything to him in a way that he would understand. Everyone else at Matthew & Matthew also seemed very polite and helpful! Thank you so much 😁
