She literally held our hand!!!

Jessica was absolutely amazing during the house buying process. As this was my partner and I’s first property; we were pretty nervous and anxious going into the whole ‘house buying process’.
We couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor to help guide us through the torrent of getting on the property ladder (AT LAST)!
She honestly went above and beyond in her role chasing up any queries we presented to her, keeping us up to date with the process as it happens (no messing at all) and not just working for us, but working with us to ensure we understood exactly what was happening during the buying process.
As buyers, she made us excited during the process and we got the feeling she was excited for us; which is exactly what you want, an actual human to help you through the whole process, not just a corporate robot!
Thank you for your amazing service Jessica, we will definitely be coming back to you once we upscale to our mansion!

Property Conveyance (Sale of House)

In under two months Jessica (as our solicitor) has completed the legal aspect and process of selling our previous home. Throughout this short time Jessica has been in constant contact and proactive regarding the process, culminating in exchanging contracts and completing in one day. A friendly, first class professional service throughout. Highly recommended

Executors Sale of retirement flat

I sold through Modern Auction as the market is very low for these properties and we needed the property sold because of steep ongoing costs to the landlord FirstPort, the management company E&M and the 200% Council Tax on an unoccupied property. Martin Tolhurst solicitors were selected for me, and I found them to be very good.

Great job, very professional

Tom and Jodie were a pleasure to deal with and overall their service was excellent value for money. Our transaction was fairly complex and as a result we were very happy with how things were handled and the overall cost was extremely reasonable considering. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Conveyancing the sale of my house

For various reasons, three buyers backed out of buying my house. Alan Stevens, Caroline Brooks and Dawn Beasley took all this in their stride and remained firmly in control of the legal process throughout. They were responsive, efficient and dealt with everything immediately. I recommend using this excellent law firm.

A moving experience

A tricky moving house process ( selling, buying, one sale falling through, probate delays) was handled professionally and in a timely manner. The fees were reasonable and all the people we dealt with were friendly and efficient.

Appalling.
Mis-information.
Poor service.
Extreme lack of urgency, especially as we had a specific deadline.
Their actions, or rather lack of action cost me an additional £500.
My advice? Go elsewhere.

Used these as the estate agent recommendations, and was very happy with the service they provided me and the communications were good. I would use them again if I needed too, thank you to all the team.

We have purchased a house at the end of August 2023. We were recommended Martin Tolhurst by the agency and
we couldn’t be happier with our choice. It was a pleasure working with Anna Przytula-Pieniazek, she is very helpful, knowledgeable, professional and guided as through buying our first property. Communication with Anna and her team was very impressive. She kept us informed at all stages and we had almost instant replies by email or phone call.
We can highly recommend Martin Tolhurst and Anna and we would use them again.
