Excellent result

So many things to praise, in the way our somewhat difficult case was handled. Difficult because of extreme and unreasonable delays from our landlord. And then a specific dispute about a particular clause, which could potentially have necessitated resorting to tribunal. This was handled by Martin Tolhurst Partnership with sufficient sensitivity and firmness to ensure an excellent outcome in the end. The process took in excess of 12 months when normally it might have been expected to take 3 maximum. All that time we never felt put on the backburner, thanks to regular updates and emails.

It always amazes me how long a sale can take. This is the second time I have used them, for the same House, buying, and then this time selling. I am assured that Martin Tolhurst kept their eye on the sale and progressed it though as I required. All was completed in my time frame. Hopefully I will not be selling again but if so I would have no hesitations in using them again.

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.

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.

Fantastic experience- Buying and Selling

Fantastic experience buying and selling a property. Our solicitor was Tom Bexhill and he and his team were brilliant through the entire process. A big thank you to the amazing legal secretary - Ameera who went above and beyond. Also Jodie who supported the completion - In the entire selling and purchasing process using Martin Tolhurst was the easiest and best decision we made. They were not the cheapest out there, but in this business you get what you pay for and that was clear with how poor the other solicitors and estate agents in our chain were. Would highly recommend and 100% use again. Thank you so much for all your hard work and fantastic communication throughout.

Couldn't have asked for a better service

The service I received from Alan Stevens from start to finish was nothing short of outstanding, I genuinely would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone else. My process of conveyancing was a long & stressful one but was without a doubt made so much easier with Alan's assistance, I didn't have to chase him once (which I know is unheard of) and he made the process as seamless as possible. Thank you so much Alan and all of your fantastic, hardworking team!
