My experience at AJP was fantastic. The service was professional but friendly, knowledgeable and informative, efficient and thorough. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Excellent, Rigorous and Friendly Service

I am very pleased with the excellent conveyancing work carried out by my solicitor at Allan Jay Paine Limited. For various reasons, the process encountered unexpected challenges but my solicitor kept me informed with regular updates and advice. Throughout the process, I felt confident that I was in ‘safe hands’ due to the thorough and rigorous work carried out by my solicitor and which, happily, ended in a very satisfactory outcome for me.

Highly Recommended!

I would have no hesitation in recommending Allan Jay Paine for any conveyancing work. Mandy Bird has acted on our behalf now on three occasions and the team is always highly professional and efficient. Mandy is very thorough but also understands the time-sensitive nature of many transactions and acts with all due speed and care. She also takes the time to explain technical legal issues in plain language.

House Sale following a bereavement

A difficult situation in continuing a house sale after the loss of our sister who had started the process. It was a long 16months with letters of administration being sought by a different solicitor and a few unintended surprises that caused delays but we got there in the end with Jonathan Szeto and Harry Lownds being our team - really great to work with them both

AMAZING.....

Having worked in the property industry for many years, I knew exactly what I needed when it came to selling my own home. I chose Jonathan Zelto, and I couldn't be happier with that decision.

Jonathan stands out for his exemplary service. We had a tight deadline from exchange to completion, and he handled everything with calmness, meticulous attention to detail, and absolute professionalism. His expertise went above and beyond what one would expect from a conveyancing solicitor—he truly sets the standard for how things should be done.

I cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough, and we will definitely be using him again for our next sale. Thank you, Jonathan—you have been an absolute star!

Highly recommend!

Mandy was recommended to us by a family friend and was absolutely fantastic in helping us purchase our first home. From start to finish Mandy was extremely helpful, responsive, and professional. The whole process was very smooth and we felt supported throughout. We are so grateful for all of her help and we couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone buying a home.

Bungalow Conveyance

I am very satisfied at the speedy trouble free conveyance of my inherited bungalow. The bungalow situated in a quiet backwater of Essex was not an easy sale as it was in need of some modernisation but as soon as we had a potential buyer Mandy Bird of Allan Jay Paine steered us through the complexities very professionally. I can thoroughly recomment the Company.

I used Allan Jay Paine Limited for purchasing a property. I chose their services after researching local companies with high rankings and reading client reviews.

Before making my decision, I had contacted several other recommended companies. However, I was dissatisfied with how long it took them to provide a quote. What made me choose Allan Jay Paine Limited was their prompt response and punctuality- I received a quote within a day or two. Additionally, their pricing was much more reasonable compared to other offers I had obtained.

I was promptly advised on the necessary documents to submit. My purchase turned out to be quite challenging as it was privately arranged, and there was a lack of consistent communication with the vendor and their solicitor. The process dragged on for months, but Mr. Szeto (my assigned solicitor) handled everything with professionalism and patience. He was always available to answer my questions, and whenever I called the office, my call was promptly answered. I was never given false expectations regarding the completion process.

It was a long journey, but it was handled exceptionally well. I highly recommend their services and will not hesitate to use them again in the future.

I just recently sold my flat— Mandy Bird was the solicitor. I could not be happier. I looked at several law firms. The best advice I got is this is one of the biggest transactions you will do in your life. Allan Jay Paine were competitively priced but on the slightly higher end. It’s 100% worth it— the level of knowledge that Mandy has, the speed at which she works is truly phenomenal. A bad solicitor can cost you your sale. For the sake of a few hundred pounds, it’s worth it. She was super prompt, even contacting me after hours one weekend. When things started to go wrong, she got it back on track. I could not be more pleased. Thank you Mandy and the whole team! A++ experience, I will now not use anyone else.

Fantastic service from start to finish.
Allen Jay Paine were recommended to us by our estate agent and they didn't disappoint. They made it easy from initial instruction, their communication was second to none, and both our sale and purchase were a breeze!
I'm an ex-mortgage broker and I've seen hundreds of conveyancing solicitors in my time. Mandy Bird is the best I've come across and it was an absolute pleasure dealing with her and her team at Allan Jay Paine.
Would definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

This was my 1st dealing with Allan Jay Paine. From day 1, we liaised with Alpa Patel (Solicitor). I’m pleased that our paths crossed. Alpa and the team have been fabulous. The purchase of the property took over 6 months due to the delays from sellers side. Alpa kept us up-to-date on regular basis, shared all the documents and correspondence. This made the entire legal process very transparent & easy to understand. Alpa was prompt in reviewing the artefacts, responding back and clearly articulating the challenges faced.

I’m very happy with the overall service provided to us and I highly recommend Allan Jay Paine solicitors.
