Faultless sale

Approached Manak Solicitors as they have recently taken on another firm who is handling a probate matter for me. It seemed sensible to also use them to sell a house that formed part of the estate. They were professional from the outset. Excellent service from Lorna, Rebecca and George who handled this case. There was much correspondence between them and the sellers solicitors which was handled well. In many cases when I thought that things had stalled, they were quietly getting on with the job. Recommended.

I recently visited Manak Solicitors for my deed poll, which was signed by Adella Thomas, and I honestly could not be happier with the service I received. From the moment I arrived, the receptionists were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the whole team made me feel truly seen, heard, and supported throughout the process. Everyone was so genuine, professional, and compassionate, which made a huge difference to me personally. I really appreciated how much they genuinely wanted to help and ensure everything was handled smoothly. Their kindness, professionalism, and exceptional service made what could have been a stressful experience feel comfortable and reassuring. Thank you so much to Adella Thomas and the entire team at Manak Solicitors — I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for supportive, professional, and genuinely caring legal services.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Simran Bahia at Manak Solicitors in Gravesend, who assisted my elderly parents with the conveyancing of their new bungalow. From start to finish, Simran provided an exceptional level of service that truly made a potentially stressful process feel smooth, clear, and manageable. Her patience and clarity in explaining every stage of the conveyancing process were especially appreciated. She took the time to ensure we fully understood what was happening at each step, which meant a great deal to my parents — particularly as English is not their first language. Her ability to communicate matters in a simple and reassuring way was invaluable. Simran was also incredibly thorough in conducting all the necessary enquiries and searches. At the same time, she worked efficiently to ensure everything progressed in a timely manner, always maintaining the highest level of professionalism and dedication to completing the purchase as quickly as possible. One of the standout aspects of her service was her consistent communication. Her regular updates and clear, concise explanations gave my parents great peace of mind throughout the entire process. We always felt informed and supported. Above all, her advice during a particularly challenging period—when my parents had to travel abroad towards the closure of the purchase—was beyond reassuring. She handled everything with such care and expertise that we felt completely confident the matter was in safe hands. Her guidance during this time was truly invaluable, and we cannot thank her enough. Manak Solicitors came highly recommended to us, particularly by our estate agents, and we can confidently say that their glowing reputation is absolutely deserved. Simran’s professionalism, kindness, and dedication reflect the very best of the firm. We cannot recommend Manak Solicitors highly enough—especially Simran Bahia. We wish her and the entire team continued success in the future.

GOOD TO KNOW. PENNY PINCHING EXSPENSIVE MISTAKE We are almost 80 years of age and have a pending inheritance of almost 4 million pounds. Our personal assets are at least 3 million. I called Manak Solicitors Orpington on 19 November 2024 at 14.02 and spoke to a lady to arranged a brief introductionary chat to discuss probate of the deceased,his wifes unfinished probate plus wills, trusts, LPA and future probate for us. I was advised 30 minutes would cost 150 pounds plus I presume vat. I hesitated and was advised in a no uncertain manner that everyone charges now. I contacted Kings Court Trust, they sent a rep to OUR HOUSE FREE. We instructed them. UPDATE, BELOW IS THERE REPLY TO MY REVIEW ON TRUSTPILOT Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent enquiry with us. We note that your comments reflect your experience of a preliminary telephone inquiry and not of our services or the experience of instructing us / meeting with one of our fully qualified and accredited Solicitors. At Manak Solicitors, we strive to provide high-quality, personalised legal advice. Our initial consultations are designed to give potential clients direct access to a qualified Solicitor who can provide expert, actionable guidance tailored to their specific needs. Our fee of £150 (plus VAT) for a 30-minute consultation reflects the professionalism, expertise, and depth of knowledge our Solicitors bring to each matter. We believe this offers excellent value for the high standard of service we provide. While we respect your decision to explore alternative options, we hope you appreciate that our pricing structure ensures we can continue to deliver the outstanding service our clients expect and deserve. Should you ever wish to revisit our services in the future, we would be pleased to provide the expert and comprehensive legal support for which we are known. We wish you all the best in resolving your current matters MY REPLY TO THERE POST Thanks for your comprehensive flowery indepth reply but i believe you have managed to certainly not enchanced your professions dubious fee charging reputation. Firstly you have insulted me to believe I'm nieve and stupid enough to believe this unjustified bull s, do you treat all your clients like this? I suggest the person who wrote this pathetic reply should be severely reprimanded Which world do you live in, you would moan at a fiver for cup of coffee but feel quite justified to charge me 300 pounds an hour to introduce me to your business. Talk about added value, i cant imagine the penny pinching extras that also may be added to a case. What makes your profession so different to any other skilled job justifying taking these outrageous liberties? Non i repeat non of the work i required was in any way specialised, some if not all i can do myself if i wanted, its run of the mill  lpa. trusts and probates which should come as second nature to you. I cant fix a car but local a mechanic can but they dont take me to ransom. No wonder the boss had a new Aston Martin

Working in the property industry, I know how crucial a proactive solicitor is to keeping a transaction together. Manak Solicitors consistently deliver an outstanding service. Simran Bahia is my absolute go-to solicitor. Her professionalism, sharp attention to detail, and clear communication make every transaction seamless. I have recommended Manak Solicitors to several of my clients and will continue to do so without hesitation.

Fare Evasion Case

I can't begin to thank Holly, Samir and Sarah for their help throughout the case. I was caught using the wrong card and if I'm being honest that card was a high value card so I almost certain I'd be convicted. However, I put my trust in the team and the reassured me they would try their best to get the outcome I wanted and rest assured that's what they did. This morning I received the news that I have only been issued a warning. What I appreciated most was that they did not sugar coat anything, I was aware of the seriousness of this case but they kept me calm and explored my mitigating factors. Thank you to everyone at Manak once again!

Thank you for sharing your review. Fare evasion matters involving high-value discrepancies carry significant legal weight, and navigating them requires a realistic assessment of the case alongside robust representation. We are exceptionally pleased that Holly, Samir, and Sarah delivered the candid advice, strategic calmness, and focus on mitigating circumstances necessary to secure an out-of-court resolution. Achieving a warning rather than a conviction is a highly successful outcome, and your kind words have been proudly shared with the team and the firm's leadership at Manak Solicitors.

I am so pleased that I was recommended Manak Solicitors for my recent house move, and would not hesitate to use them again. All emails, phone calls and queries were answered promptly with diligence and care every single time, and any delay in the chain (of which there are usually many during a house move), were never due to lack of effort on Manaks part. I would like to single out Simran Bahia for praise especially, who was our case handler during our purchase, chain collapse, and purchase again of a different property. Throughout, she was always available, always thorough, and utterly professional. A first class service and a credit to her company and industry.

I had an excellent experience with Manak Solicitors when purchasing my first property, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. A special thank you to Margaret, who was my conveyancer throughout the purchase. She was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The whole process was smooth, efficient, and progressed quickly, and Margaret kept me informed every step of the way, always explaining what was happening and what the next steps would be. Her communication was exceptional—she responded to emails incredibly quickly, was always helpful, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. The quality of service she provided was outstanding and made what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and well managed. Manak Solicitors came highly recommended to me, and I’m so glad I chose them. Their pricing is fair, their service is exceptional, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Margaret and the whole team to anyone looking for a reliable, professional conveyancing solicitor.
