Fantastic Service From Georgina - Wills

I cannot recommend Georgina Vanden Berghe and the team at Martin Tolhurst highly enough. We were on a very tight timeline to get our wills completed, and despite being busy, it felt like she dropped everything to make sure our deadlines were met. Although our wills themselves were fairly straightforward, the Inheritance Tax (IHT) implications were much more complex. Over the course of two meetings and numerous emails, she took the time to meticulously collate all the necessary data and present her findings in a clear, accessible way. She broke down complex legal and tax terms effortlessly. I have never dealt with a solicitor who was so down-to-earth, open, honest, and approachable. Her assistant was also incredibly friendly and efficient, ensuring the entire process ran seamlessly. An outstanding, stress-free experience from start to finish.

Handling my parents Estate

We used Martin Tolhurst Solicitors in Longfield Kent. They sorted out my late parents estate after we moved from another local solicitors. Nothing was too much trouble, they kept us informed and updated regularly. Sarah Begley and her Team were absolutely fantastic even when things were not straight forward their professionalism was amazing. They also arranged with their other branch the conveyancing of the sale of my parents property. Every hiccup (there were a few along the way) was dealt with to the highest standard. I would 100 percent recommend them.

I have used Martin Tolhurst for many years for my families Will, Trusts etc. On this occasion I required a deed of variation. This was completed quickly and efficiently from my first phone call to the office and completion of the document by Sarah Begley. She was easy to talk to but also professional.

Lucy Benning dealt with a re-write of our original wills that Martin Tolhurst first done over 40yrs ago. Naturally the price is far more than at that time, but we thought it better to go back to our original solicitors to carry this out. Lucy sat with us and got to the point of true reflection to our wishes. Thank you.

Having had a previous bad experience with Martin Tolhurst, we were reluctant to use them, but our Estate Agent selling our parents property through probate assured us that they had a great long working relationship with this solicitor, so against our better judgement we agreed to us them. The solicitor we were allocated at the start of the process made us realise why we had reservations about using Martin Tolhurst in the first place, we found ourselves constantly chasing her for information, we would leave telephone messages which she never returned and emails which she ignored until Friday just as she was leaving for the weekend which meant we could not contact her again until the Monday. Nearing the end of the conveyancing we were contacted by a different solicitor within the firm who informed us that the previous person had left that day and that she was now taking over, the new person was actually efficient in her duties and the sale completed without any issues. Because of our experience with the first solicitor we can not give Martin Tolhurst a great review and should we require a solicitor in the future we certainly would not choose Martin Tolhurst.

A representative from Martin Tolhurst Partnership LLP responded to this review

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review, David and I’m sorry to hear how frustrating the earlier part of your experience was. We understand how important clear communication and timely updates are, particularly during a probate sale and it’s disappointing to read that you felt you had to repeatedly chase for responses and were left without the support you should have received. We do appreciate you recognising that matters improved once the file was reassigned and that the transaction then completed smoothly. We’d welcome the opportunity to look into what happened and learn from it. If you’re willing, please contact us with the property address (or the best reference you have) and the name of the fee earner(s) involved, so we can review the file and respond properly. You can reach us via our main office contact details or send a message with your preferred contact number and we’ll arrange a call. Thank you again for your feedback, it’s taken seriously and we’re sorry we didn’t get it right from the start. Sam Martin Tolhurst Solicitors Online Team

Very pleased

Gemma and the team helped with the sale of my late Father-in-law house. They came recommended through the estate agents who were absolutely dire and complete charlatans. So it was a pleasant surprise the solicitors they recommended were stars. thank you so much for being the only decent people in this process.

Conveying My Complete Satisfaction

Abbie Oswald is a complete professional. Not only is she an expert in her field, but she actually answers the phone! With her expert guidance (and patience!), we completed on the purchase of our new home in 8 weeks, and thanks to Abbie, it went as smoothly as is possible. I would highly recommend Abbie Oswald from Martin Tolhurst Solicitors, Ashford office.
