Excellent efficient and quick service. Reviewing my will due to changing circumstances
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased we could help update your Will promptly as your circumstances changed.
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.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review, Michael. We are delighted to hear that you found our team professional and responsive throughout the sale of the property. If you need any further assistance with any other legal matter, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Helpful and friendly team, good communication throughout and professional advice .

We have used Manak in conveyancing. Placing the house in joint names and will writing services over the last few years. We received excellent service from the respective solicitors and paralegals on all occasions. A top class service.

Whole process went smoothly and good flow of information.
Thank you for your feedback, Steve. We’re glad to hear that the process went smoothly and that you found the flow of information clear and helpful. Your comments are much appreciated. Kind regards, Manak Solicitors
Jas at Manak was extremely helpful in providing advice during an initial consultation. Jas exercised strong duty of care and redirected me to obtain tax advice first before engaging Manak in full, to ensure there were no unnecessary changes after wills were completed. That is deeply appreciated advice. We will do that and hope to re-engage in full very soon.

**Subject: Feedback on Consultation Experience with Manak Solicitors** I would like to share my recent experience with Manak Solicitors after reaching out to them regarding probate matters. As a couple nearing 80 years of age, we have a pending inheritance of nearly £4 million and personal assets of at least £3 million. On 19 November 2024, at 14:02, I called Manak Solicitors in Orpington to schedule an introductory chat. I wanted to discuss the probate of a deceased individual, the unfinished probate of his wife, as well as wills, trusts, lasting power of attorney (LPA), and future probate matters pertaining to us. During the call, I was informed that a 30-minute consultation would cost £150, plus VAT. I hesitated at this price, and the person I spoke to indicated quite assertively that all firms now charge similar fees. In search of alternative options, I reached out to Kings Court Trust, which promptly sent a representative to our home for a free consultation. We decided to instruct them for our needs instead. **Update: Response from Manak Solicitors on Trustpilot** Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent inquiry with us. We understand that your comments reflect your experience during a preliminary telephone inquiry and not our full range of services or the actual experience of working with our qualified solicitors. At Manak Solicitors, we strive to deliver high-quality, personalised legal advice. Our initial consultations are intended to provide potential clients with access to a qualified solicitor who can offer expert, actionable guidance tailored to their specific circumstances. The fee of £150 (plus VAT) for a 30-minute consultation reflects the professionalism and expertise our solicitors bring to each matter. We believe this represents excellent value for the high standard of service we provide. While we respect your decision to explore other options, we hope you understand that our pricing structure is designed to ensure we can continue to offer the outstanding service our clients expect and deserve. Should you choose to revisit our services in the future, we would be pleased to provide the expert legal support for which we are known. We wish you the best in resolving your current matters. **My Response to Their Reply** Thank you for your comprehensive and thoughtful reply; however, I believe you have failed to improve your profession's questionable reputation concerning fee-charging. First, I find your assumptions about my naivety quite insulting. Do you treat all your clients this way? I suggest the person who wrote this unsatisfactory response should be reprimanded. The way you justify charging £300 an hour for an introductory meeting is hard to understand when you would likely hesitate at the price of a cup of coffee. To me, this seems like an added-value approach. I cannot imagine the additional costs that might pile up during the course of a case. What makes your profession so different from any other skilled profession that justifies these unreasonable charges? Much of the work I needed assistance with is not specialised. I could handle some, if not all, of it myself, as the LPA, trusts, and probate matters should be second nature to you. Drafts of LPA deeds and trusts are freely available on ChatGPT. While I may not know how to fix a car, a local mechanic wouldn’t hold me to ransom for their services.
I used Manak Solicitors to obtain probate for me after the death of my father. Nosheen was very efficient, and true to her word arranged everything within 4 weeks. Excellent service.

My brother and I were very happy with service of Jas and the team at Manak Sevenoaks when selling my mother's house recently. Emails were answered quickly and any issues sorted promptly. Jas was available to give direct advice in person when needed. Excellent service all round.

I found myself in a situation I never imagined I’d be in\. Over several years, I’d fallen into a pattern of fare evasion without really appreciating just how often it had happened. When I was confronted with the evidence, I was genuinely gobsmacked.. I’ve always considered myself an honest person, but the record in front of me told a very different story. From the outset, Samir was calm, considered, confident and incredibly approachable. He took control of the entire case and made what was an extremely stressful experience feel manageable. My advice to anyone in a similar position is simple: be completely open and honest, trust Samir and trust the process. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and you’re in exceptionally good hands.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review, and for your kind words. Facing an allegation like this can be overwhelming, particularly for someone who has never been in trouble before. Your openness from the very first conversation made a real difference. It allowed us to deal with matters candidly and put forward the strongest case possible on your behalf. I am very pleased we were able to take some of the stress off your shoulders. Thank you again for your trust, and I wish you all the very best for the future.

Thank you for your fantastic review. I am pleased we were able to advise you in the best way within your timelines.
I’ve recently used Manak Solicitors to help me purchase a property, Simran who I dealt with was exceptional. She managed to get everything over the line in such a short period of time and was always on hand to help update, explain and make sure everything was covered to protect me in the whole process. I found Simran to make the whole process easier to understand each step of the way. She was Brilliant from start to completion, Simran went above and beyond to make the whole process smooth, transparent and was very supportive in every step of the process. Highly recommend her and all the Manak team was great to deal with. Will definitely be recommending her all the time going forward in the future.
Highly recommend Manak Solicitors if you are looking for conveyancing support. My solicitor Nistaran was brilliant, she was super responsive and efficient throughout. The efficiency of the team really makes all the difference when going through the house buying process, so thank you very much.

Thank you for your recommendation, Antonia. We’re delighted Nistaran and the team made your house purchase a positive experience with their efficient and responsive service.
The service provided during our house sale by Manak solicitors, and particularly Simran Bahia, who was our main point of contact, was extremely professional, diligent and proactive. The process from start to finish was handled very efficiently, and all communications were prompt and accurate. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this firm.

Could not be happier with the work done by Simran at Manak Solicitors on the sale of property. I was kept informed at various stages by email and telephone. The process went very smoothly and professionally. I would recommend using them to anyone.
