Vikki was absolutely what I was looking for to help me with the giant mess I had made. When you just want to do the right thing but feel like you cannot figure out the path, Vikki is the perfect person to help you make a plan and make the right and lawful decisions. I felt supported and relieved.

This is the second time in just over 12 months that we have used Merritts for conveyancing and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Charlotte and the team and would definitely use them again. From the initial quotation to completion the process was efficient and smooth. Merritts were very responsive and we felt we were kept well informed of progress throughout. Whilst we mostly communicated via email (which worked well for us) we did have a few calls with Charlotte and she was really friendly and a pleasure to work with.

Shahn did the legal work around the sale of a property for us which completed in February. The whole process of working with Shahn and the firm was very easy, we were kept updated regularly and everything went smoothly. We'd happily recommend the firm and Shahn to anyone who requires this kind of service.

The conveyancing experience is at times a slow and frustrating one however Shahn has kept up the momentum and provided timely and appropriate updates regarding progress. Am very happy with his professional handling of the case and is a pleasure to deal with.

Bought and sold through Merritts in Yarm, having sold and bought many times, this has been the most stress free of them all. Charlotte and the team supporting her have been brilliant. Efficient and quick, sorted out any little glitches without drama and was always cheery on the phone and in person. Great communication, I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone, if only more were like her!!

Shahn completed the sale side of a property sale involving selling a part of three titles and combining them into one with access rights in just over 5 weeks. Excellent service and look forward to working with Shahn again.

Throughout the process she was extremely helpful, reliable and clear with every step and kept me upto date which was helpful as I haven’t had that with other firms.
Will definitely use again if the time comes.
Thanks Lucy

Trust me when you read this - use anyone but Merritts for your house sale/purchase. We’re so mentally exhausted from the experience that we can’t even bring ourselves to write a full review. In summary -
- Zero proactive communication: we didn’t hear from our solicitor for the first two weeks, and after that it took on average 3 emails before we got a reply. Many of our questions were unanswered.
- Professionalism: everyone at Merritts that we dealt with, seemed like they couldn’t get rid of you quickly enough. Replies bordered on rude, and despite multiple promises to have a call back from our solicitor ‘as a matter of urgency’, she claimed to have never been advised this.
- Had to do alot of the work ourselves to keep the process moving, including taking it upon ourselves to get our searches returned early, despite being told this wouldn’t be possible. This was made more difficult by the fact that we were given the wrong company name to chase.
Strongly advise looking for alternatives. Please read the other reviews of Merritts before considering using them.

I regret to state that my experience with your firm has been thoroughly disappointing and unsatisfactory. I strongly advise against engaging your services.
Based on the solicitor assigned to my case, I found myself in a position where I wished I had never entrusted you with my legal matters. Your firm’s response times were excessively long, necessitating repeated follow-ups.
I raised an issue with the contract, which I was assured would be rectified at a later stage. However, this assurance proved to be unfounded, and subsequent requests for assistance have been met with silence. As a result, I am now deprived of funds that rightfully should have been mine.
In my experience with numerous solicitors, your firm has unequivocally been the worst. This is a matter of severe concern and negligence, which has had a direct adverse financial impact on me.
