Great Solicitor

I recently worked with Socratis Komodromos at Bryan & Mercer Solicitors, who came highly recommended by my realtor at Jeremy Leaf in East Finchley, advice I fully trust. Socratis was warm, friendly, and highly professional. From our very first conversation, I knew I was in good hands. Selling a property can be incredibly stressful, but Socratis and his team made the entire process run smoothly and kept me informed every step of the way. Their support and clarity made all the difference. I thoroughly recommend Socratis Komodromos to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive solicitor.

Bryan & Mercer Ltd

Thank you so much, Perri! We're delighted to hear that Socratis and the team helped make your sale run smoothly. Selling a property can be a whirlwind, so it’s wonderful to know you felt supported every step of the way. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

Deeply unsatisfactory

I had a deeply unsatisfactory experience with Delaram Ebrat from Bryan and Mercer while purchasing a property. Communication was a major issue throughout the process. At one point, I was ignored for an entire month, with no response to my calls or emails, causing unnecessary delays and leaving me uncertain about the transaction’s status. This lack of communication affected everyone involved—both the estate agent and the seller’s solicitor also reported being ignored by Delaram when they tried to reach her. Instead of taking responsibility for the delays or her poor communication, Delaram repeatedly placed blame on the seller’s solicitors, the management company, and others involved, which felt both unprofessional and unconstructive. I expected a much higher level of service from a firm of this reputation, especially for something as critical as property conveyancing. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Delaram Ebrat or Bryan and Mercer for property transactions. Clear communication and accountability are essential in this process, and both were unfortunately lacking.

⭐ 5 Stars – Exceptional Solicitors from start to finish!! ⭐ After two failed attempts to buy our first home due to poor communication from previous conveyancers, working with Socratis and his team at Bryan & Mercer was a completely different experience. They were professional, diligent, and kept us updated at every stage. Most importantly, when they committed to a date for a document or response, they always delivered. Even when last‑minute issues arose on the seller’s side, we felt fully supported and reassured throughout. During the uncertain moments, one thing was clear: if this purchase fell through, we already knew who our solicitors would be going forward. We highly recommend Bryan & Mercer, especially if you’ve had difficult experiences elsewhere. They communicate clearly, handle challenges confidently, and genuinely have your best interests at heart. A huge thank you to Socratis Komodromos, Mary Nelson, Paulette Clarke, and all staff at Bryan and Mercer for helping us finally get onto the property ladder.

from Bryan & Mercer Ltd

Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review, James. We’re grateful you chose Bryan & Mercer and for taking the time to share your experience. It means a great deal to hear our team made such a positive difference after your earlier difficulties. Congratulations on getting onto the property ladder.

My wife and I recently commissioned Bryan & Mercer to manage two legal matters at the same time: a lease extension on a flat I owned, alongside the sale and purchase of our next property. We worked closely with Socratis across both workstreams and, despite the complexity and tight timelines involved, the service we received was outstanding. As complete laypeople going into the process, we really valued how generous Socratis was with his time. He explained everything clearly, kept us fully informed throughout, and made sure we never felt uncertain or out of the loop. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bryan & Mercer and are very grateful for the support we received.

from Bryan & Mercer Ltd

Dear Tom, Thank you for your feedback and recommendation. We’re delighted to hear that Socratis provided such outstanding support while managing both your lease extension and the sale and purchase of your new property. It’s wonderful to know that, despite the complexity and tight timelines, he took the time to explain everything clearly and guide you through the process with patience and professionalism.

Daniel and the team were brilliant with both the purchase and sale of our London flat. From start to finish they were professional, responsive and thorough, even when the sale became complicated. They kept me informed at every stage, explained things clearly, and were always quick to respond to questions (no matter how small). When issues came up, they handled them calmly and efficiently, which made a huge difference to my peace of mind. What could have been a very overwhelming process felt manageable thanks to their support and expertise. I’m so grateful for all their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them to anyone buying or selling a property.

I had an amazing experience with my solicitors during my property purchase and I truly couldn’t recommend them more. They were fast, efficient, and always quick to reply — a world of difference compared to friends whose solicitors take weeks to respond. Socratis was incredible throughout the whole process and was always available to assist me whenever I needed guidance. The whole team made everything smooth and stress-free. Don’t think twice — just go with them. I’ll be recommending them to everyone!

Sale/Purchase

We recently completed our sale and purchase and are sincerely grateful for the service that is provided through Bryan and Mercer. This is the second time we have worked with Christopher Weeks and we will continue to work with him on any future sales and purchases. His professionalism, clear communication, and pace of work has made the process 10x less stressful than it could have been. We are delighted that he has seen us through to a smooth and swift completion for the second time and would recommend his services to anyone.

Bryan & Mercer Ltd

We’re delighted to hear how smoothly everything went for your sale and purchase, Anna. It’s wonderful that Christopher’s professionalism, clear communication, and efficient handling of the process helped make things far less stressful. Your continued trust and recommendation are much appreciated.

Very professional and trustable! My first transaction was unable to completed due to the disqualified Tri-fire certificate. Mr. Komodromos gave me important advice for my choice. Following was also another bad experience with an irresponsible real estate agent, Foxt***. During the property sale process, apart from constantly pushing me to complete the transaction as quickly as possible, he would simply say that everything else was “not his responsibility” or just ignored all my enquiries. Mr. Komodromos used to standd up for me in certain situations. Even though it was only a few short remarks, I was deeply touched by the support. I knew he did not have the obligation to do so but he did it. Heartfelt appreciated.

from Bryan & Mercer Ltd

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found the service very professional and trustworthy, and that Mr Komodromos was able to provide helpful advice and support during what was a challenging process. We also appreciate your comments regarding the wider transaction experience. It is good to know that his support was reassuring to you, and we are grateful you took the time to share your experience.
