Fantastic service
A big thank you to McHale and Co, and especially to Nimish Patel, for the professional handling of my case.
The email and phone communication with Mr. Patel was excellent — he was always helpful and answered all my questions.
He handled my case brilliantly, so once again, a huge thank you.

Outstanding service
Stephanie managed our house move which was just before the rise in stamp duty earlier this year, so became really high pressured towards the end with a tight deadline. Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure everything was in place to make sure we moved on the planned date. Her communication with us and with the rest of the chain was the driving force behind keeping the move on track and I can't thank her enough for efforts on the day of our move. I would highly recommend Stephanie.
A representative from McHale & Co Solicitors responded to this review on 07 July, 2025:
Thank you for your wonderful review, Charlotte. We're delighted Stephanie could support you through such a high-pressure move — your recommendation means a great deal to us.

Outstanding Service and Communication – Highly Recommended!
I had the pleasure of purchasing a property with Luke once again. He is a highly competent solicitor, and communication with him is excellent. I was always kept informed about the stage of the process we were in. I can’t imagine using the services of any other solicitor.
A representative from McHale & Co Solicitors responded to this review on 04 July, 2025:
Dear Jakub, Thank you for your kind words and continued trust. We're thrilled to hear Luke provided such consistent, clear, and professional service throughout your property purchase. Best Regards, McHale & Co Solicitors

Amazing service
Steph was truly excellent for our house sale and onward purchase. She was diligent, hard working and very efficient. Steph kept the whole process moving and it honestly wouldn't have gone as smoothly without her!
She kept us updated regular and was incredibly quick to act with issues caused by others in the chain. We've used Steph for our two house moves and would have absolutely no hesitation with using her again.
A representative from McHale & Co Solicitors responded to this review on 03 July, 2025:
Dear Oliver, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re thrilled Steph provided such diligent and efficient support for both your house moves. Your continued trust means a lot to us. Best Regards, McHale & Co

McHale & Co provided excellent service at a difficult time
McHale & Co, in particuar Olivia Hulme and Nicola Nolan, helped me with the sale of my house and the distribution of funds after the sale between myself and the estate of my late partner. During quite a lengthy process I received an excellent service and was kept informed of all procedings in a timely and professional manner. i would have no hesitation in using them again in the future.

I worked with Susie at McHale and Co over a power of attorney and making a Will. The service she provided was exceptional. She was professional, kind, patient, and explained everything in detail; answering my endless questions. I felt fully informed, heard, and that my estate planning reflects my true wishes. I would highly recommend Susie to anyone looking to make a Will or plan for their estate future.

Even before I instructed McHale & Co. on the sale of my property, I had previous contact with Marta Grzelak over a couple of different legal issues to which she responded with no obligation.
Not only was Marta knowledgeable and extremely professional, she was always friendly and very quick to respond which made my choice of conveyancing solicitor an easy one to make.
Buying and selling houses can be really stressful but I would like to thank Marta for her part in making my own experience very simple and straightforward. She is highly recommended.
A representative from McHale & Co Solicitors responded to this review on 06 May, 2025:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Alexandra! We’re delighted to hear that Marta’s professionalism, knowledge, and responsiveness made your experience smoother and more straightforward. It’s great to know that her friendly approach helped ease the stress of buying and selling. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are grateful for the trust you placed in Marta. If you need any assistance in the future, we’re always here to help!
