Great experience!

The biggest thank you for all John’s help throughout the process of me being a house, he made a very scary experience as a first time buyer, super easy for me and I appreciate it! You hear horror stories about solicitors when buying a house but I had very quick responses and so much help! I highly recommend Milners Solicitors to anyone! Thanks again!!

Excellent conveyancing

John Robson, assisted by his colleagues, was incredibly painstaking throughout the whole conveyancing period of buying a flat in London. I’d found him through my union Equity and his costs were very reasonable for a lot of work! Not only was John very friendly, his attention to detail was excellent, particularly with things which weren’t completely straightforward, so we felt in very safe hands throughout. We would definitely recommend him and Milners.

Milners have provided us with an excellent service on a number of sales and purchases. They are always on the ball and turn things around very quickly. They are very professional in their approach and pragmatic, but without ignoring the deails. It was a pleasure dealing with Milners. They deserve top marks for just handling a sale for us in 21 days from being instructed to completion. Not many lawyers can do that.

I can’t recommend Milners - Close Thornton Solicitors highly enough! They provided an outstanding service when helping my 18-year-old son purchase his first home, taking him from offer to completion in just 11 weeks! From the very beginning, their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive. They kept us informed at every stage, explained everything clearly, and were always quick to respond to any questions we had. What really stood out was how smoothly they managed the entire process—something that can often feel overwhelming, especially for a first-time buyer. They made my son feel confident and reassured throughout, which meant a lot as this was such a big milestone for him. Their dedication and attention to detail ensured everything stayed on track and completed within an impressive timeframe. We’re extremely grateful for their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and proactive solicitor. Thank you for making this such a positive and stress-free experience!

I have been using Andrew for a number of years now and I have always found him to be extremely helpful, professional and easy to deal with. His communication is excellent – he explains things clearly and keeps you well informed throughout the process. Everything is handled promptly and within agreed timeframes, which gives real peace of mind. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a reliable and approachable solicitor.

We recently worked with Donna on the sale of our house and couldn’t be happier with the service we received. From start to finish, they were incredibly efficient, responsive, and always on the ball. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble! What really stood out to us was the level of reassurance and support we were given, especially during times when things slowed down or felt uncertain. Donna was always there to explain, chase things up when needed, and keep us informed, which made a huge difference to our peace of mind. We’re so grateful for the clear communication throughout the whole process. We’re now working with Donna again on the purchase of our new home and feel completely happy and relaxed knowing we’re in such good hands. Would recommend to anyone looking for a solicitor you can trust to get the job done smoothly and with care!

John completed our conveyancing when we sold our property. It was never going to be simple as we live in Canada and secondly it was a listed building but throughout John has dealt with the whole process with total professionalism. Communication & advise were on the ball even when I’m sure we drove him up the wall with our constant flow of emails and questions, but he got us there in the end Thank you and would highly recommend
