Daniel more than merits the 5 stars for his extreme patience and understanding in dealing with me and my new will, especially in relation to clarifying the IHT position regarding cash gifts. It is a massive relief that now it's all done and dusted. Thank you Daniel.

House Purchase

Ben Smith has been aiding my efforts to buy a house for the past 2 years. (I kept get cold feet about which city to buy in!) Finally I have bought a lovely house in the south of the UK and he was with me every step of the way. He was very good with his communication and the searches, exchange and completion all ran like clockwork. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him going forward

Family Will Trust

Over the last year or so I've had to make several changes to a family will trust. I previously used a different firm in the town, but found them difficult to get hold of, slow in responding to my communications (although very quick when it came to issuing invoices) and far from nice to deal with.

I'm so glad I changed solicitor. Daniel is approachable, very knowledgable, explains things clearly, responds quickly and does what he says he's going to do. He has been a pleasure to deal with.

Michala was conveyancing on a sale of a flat that proved difficult to sell in the leasehold housing market downturn of 2023. I was kept fully up to date with progress on all the "sale agreeds" , and I believe on the final sale she acted most promptly responding to a raft of buyers solicitors questions/queries, thus enabling this sale to get through to completition.

Smooth move!

Michala was very professional and made our move as smooth as possible - it’s not the easiest thing to do and she made it effortless.
She went the full extra mile to ensure we was always up to date with updates from others which meant we moved quickly into our forever home.
We had some challenges along the way with our buyers and sellers and she took care of it all and moved to our deadline.

Revision of two Wills and registration of Lasting Powers of Attorney.

My wife and I send our sincere thanks to Daniel for his considerable help with revising our Wills, and the registration of our Lasting Powers of Attorney. He patiently took us through both processes giving clear advice throughout, at no time did we feel we were receiving anything but the very best service. Cannot forget to thank the admin team.

My wife has already told Daniel that we will be asking for his further help on new revisions to our Wills following a family bereavement.

I recently employed Eric Robinson Solicitors to help me with my house sale, Ben Smith was my associate Solicitor and he was fantastic throughout. The whole process was simple and Ben was available to speak anytime I called.

I'm sure I will use them again in the future!

Michala Was my solicitor for my first property. As this was something knew to me she made sure to have everything in order and explained everything in detail. She was also a phone call away if I needed something. There was a couple issues from the other party but Michala was quick to act, allowing for a fast and smooth process. I was very happy with the service i received and I’ll be recommend Michala highly to everyone.
