THANK YOU!

We cannot recommend Martin Tolhurst Solicitors highly enough for making our home-buying experience smooth, efficient, and stress-free. Purchasing a property in the UK can often be a lengthy and detail-intensive process, and as first-time buyers, we were initially unfamiliar with the procedures involved.

Thankfully, with the expert guidance of Mr. Abdul Mutallip and his dedicated team, everything was handled with exceptional professionalism and care. From start to finish, the entire process was completed in just one and a half months—a truly impressive turnaround.

A heartfelt thank you to Abdul and his team for their outstanding service. We are incredibly grateful!

Amazing Service!

Had a really great experience with the team over the past couple of months.
House purchase was delayed to 6 months even though the whole process was actually over within 2 months, however during all of this, the team were really responsive, and communication wise were excellent.

Would recommend

Very Professional and Timely

I had a very great experience with the firm. Abdul's team was exceptional. Abbie was very supportive and available to clarify all my queries patiently. The team was honest, efficient, proactive, thorough, and professional from start to completion, ensuring that no details were overlooked and keeping me aware of all I needed to know. In all, the process was completed on record time.

Outstanding Service

We recently used Martin Tolhurst Solicitors for the purchase of our new home, and I honestly cannot praise them enough. From start to finish, Abdul, Abbie, and their team were incredibly professional, responsive, and above all, dedicated.

We were up against a very tight deadline due to the upcoming stamp duty increase, and the pressure was on to complete in time. Abdul, Abbie, and their team pulled out all the stops — working diligently, keeping us well-informed throughout, and pushing everything through with impressive speed and accuracy. Their hard work and commitment made what could have been a stressful experience smooth and manageable.

Thanks to their effort and efficiency, we completed just in time and saved a significant amount on stamp duty — something that would not have been possible without their support.

I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and hardworking solicitors.

I’m beyond disappointed with the service received. My property completed back in November yet as of today the Land Registry still hasn’t been updated in my name. The communication has been nothing short of chaotic. I’ve now been told two completely different reasons for the delay. First it was blamed on the Land Registry backlog. Then I was told it was due to missing documentation from the seller’s solicitor.

At no point was I kept properly informed. In fact, had I not chased this myself I wouldn’t even be aware there was an issue. The lack of transparency is staggering. Yet in a previous call I was told they’ve been chasing the matter weekly. Which is it? Because it can’t be both. I question at what point I was going to be made aware, on my last call I was told in fairness we only became aware in may so it hasn’t been a long time. It’s now July and I find this insulting. One assistant to Richard Carter claimed they had no knowledge of any delays. Richard carter is away until Wednesday the 17th so I assume I will be in limbo until
Then?

This constant contradiction and misinformation is deeply unprofessional. I have now started logging all call times and correspondence and I fully expect them to be reviewed. I paid for a professional service, not to be left in the dark for months on end.

The only person who has been honest and upfront throughout has been Melissa and that deserves recognition.

As of right now I am unsure of the issue, perhaps I would be I’ve I wasn’t told 3 separate reasons within 24 hours, so it’s difficult to trust the honesty. Which in my
Opinion shocking, should you require a conveyancer please look for one that you can trust because in this instance it shows you can’t.

This is not over. I will be pursuing this further.

A representative from Martin Tolhurst Partnership LLP responded to this review on 11 July, 2025:

We spoke with you yesterday. You completed in November and our Land Registry application was submitted in the priority period in December. Unfortunately, like all solicitors, we are experiencing lengthy delays at the Land Registry. They considered the application in May, and raised a requisition requiring a statement of truth from the seller. We requested that immediately from the sellers solicitors. They updated us yesterday to advise their client is returning this. We understand your frustration but you will appreciate the delay here is by the Land Registry and beyond our control. Your interest has been protected at the Land Registry at all times. We hope that the Land Registry will be able to complete the matter very shortly.

Expensive and prolonged when we factored in the conditions of the sale. However, they managed to get both parities to be both exchanged and completed within the agreed dates to avoid the increase in stamp duty.

A representative from Martin Tolhurst Partnership LLP responded to this review on 07 July, 2025:

Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that we were able to successfully navigate the transaction and ensure both exchange and completion occurred within the agreed dates, helping you avoid the stamp duty increase.

Excellent service. The team at Martin Tolhurst, in particular, Tom Bexhell, have been amazing with helping my mum to move home. They kept us informed at all times and were quick to respond to any concerns or queries we had. They have a wealth of experience and knowledge which is demonstrated in their handling of any conveyancing issues. I could not recommend them more. It makes such a difference to know you are in safe hands. Thank you.
