Cannot recommend enough!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Emily Turner and Cameron Cini. Emily handled our purchase and sale and could not have given us more confidence. The property we purchased had a few complications and Emily handled every single one perfectly, absolutely nothing was too much and we felt so certain throughout the transaction that everything would be okay. Emily came as a recommendation through a colleague and I will recommend her going forward - an absolutely incredible solicitor. Additionally, the estate agents handling the transactions and aftersales teams at the estate agents all spoke so highly of Ellisons & Emily - saying they were a "breath of fresh air". To finalise, Emily and the Ellisons team have been absolutely perfect throughout the whole transaction and I truly cannot thank them enough. I highly recommend.

Re-mortgage

Very happy to recommend Marion to anyone needing to re-mortgage. This was the second occasion that Marion has dealt with the legal side of a re-mortgage for me. I found her and her team to be very professional and efficient throughout.

Transfer of Title Deeds - Land Registry

I have had connections with Ellisons for many years, mainly regarding my Will, but this is the first time I’ve had anything to do with Land Registry. My husband died last year leaving two properties to me and his two brothers and it felt like quite a complicated process to have to consider! Emily dealt with this whole procedure incredibly efficiently Right from our first interaction I felt reassured by her professionalism and expertise. She kept us all clearly informed every step of the way, was friendly and approachable, and her communication was excellent! Nothing seemed too much trouble and I can’t thank her enough for all she did during such an emotional time.

Victoria Crawford looked after our conveyancing in what turned out to be a particularly challenging purchase. I cannot recommend her enough. She went above and beyond at all stages and her communication skills are second to none. We always knew that our best interests were being looked after and we trusted her judgment and advice implicitly. Vicki has acted for dozens of my clients and i receive nothing but positive feedback and am now very pleased to be able to endorse her whole-heartedly as a client myself. Would thoroughly recommend to anybody buying/selling, she is outstanding.

Hi Henry, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate it.

Audrey McKenna and Ellisons were exemplary when it came to the sale of our house, from start to finish. Everything was dealt with efficiently and politely, and completely business-like. We would hapily recommend Ellisons, and Audrey in particular, for conveyancing purposes

I was very grateful that Hart Brown chose to represent us on our case. Other solicitors would not and gave little explanation as to why. Hart Brown then kept us informed throughout the process with frequent letters and calls. We were very pleased with the final outcome of our case. Many thanks.

I would like to thank Emily for her very professional and thoughtful attitude throughout the sale of our home. In a world that at times lacks the very human qualities that make the world a better place. Emily showed you can be professional, efficient and kind.

0 Stars isn't an option. Absolutely dreadful - did not perform the task they were paid to do then ran up billable hours on things I hadn't approved. Funds on account was used up on pointless tasks (that I'd already paid someone else to do) and successfully wasted 6 months on a time sensitive matter. Asked for justification of billing and was told in was in her (Lauren's) notes but were unable/willing to provide anything that would be considered "legally admissible" to support this - I was asked to attend a meeting but the requestee didn't turn up; I was asked to communicate through a specific email address but never received a response, instead their comm's came from a different address that i didn't know about and hadn't approved into my inbox. They are obliged to work in the best interest of the client but I have nothing that supports this. Avoid at all costs. Matter now with the Legal Ombudsman and the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

We are sorry to read your comments. This matter has been thoroughly reviewed through our formal complaints process, including independent assessment. As a regulated firm, we take all concerns seriously and follow established procedures to ensure they are addressed fairly.

My brother and I can't thank Shah enough for seeing our late father's probate sale through to completion. He was patient, efficient and always on point, ensuring we were always ahead of the game. No matter how many obstacles our buyers solicitors put in the way, Shah's wealth of experience shone through. Ellisons not only dealt with the sale, but their Private Client team also handled the probate in a very timely and efficient manner. Great service all round.

My wife and I had our Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney prepared by Amy and her team, and we highly recommend Ellisons as a go-to law firm for wills, LPAs and inheritance tax advice. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable, taking the time to clearly explain each step of the will writing and Lasting Power of Attorney process and providing helpful guidance on inheritance tax planning. The entire experience was professional, efficient and incredibly smooth from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ellisons to anyone looking for reliable solicitors for wills, inheritance tax advice and LPAs.
