Merritts Solicitors LLP

The solicitor that dealt with the purchase was Charlotte Fairfax. We received an email on 1st June 2026 with the client care package to start the process once we had viewed the property and a price agreed via the estate agent. We completed on 31st July 2026, 9 weeks later. Admittedly the property was vacant and we had nothing to sell, so, no chain as such. But still, very impressed with Charlotte and the team at Merritts Solicitors to "get the job done".

We approached Charlotte Fairfax at Merritts Solicitors in Yarm on recommendation. From our experience Charlotte has provided us with a super efficient and friendly service throughout the selling process. She has gone above and beyond at times which we have truly appreciated. Many thanks.

We have had the best experience when dealing with Samantha. She has kept us updated throughout the entire process and has dealt with everything in a timely and efficient manner. We can not recommend her enough and will not hesitate to use again in the future! Thank you once again for all of your hard work.

We use Victoria for our commercial business and she always gives great advice and steers us in the right direction for our business.

Shahn picked up my case after months of delay and engaged with me almost immediately, troubleshooting and finding solutions. He is knowledgeable, patient and easy to talk to. His resilience and patience helped make a difficult process easy at the end. He is a valuable asset to his firm.

Would highly recommend using this company. I recently purchased a property and Louise and Ruby dealt with it. Louise explained things thoroughly and kept in touch regularly with updates. Really easy to talk to. Really smooth process with know complications. Highly recommend

Merritt Solicitors were recommended to me by my Estate Agent. Louise and Ruby handled the sale of my house very professionally. Responding to my queries and making sure all the paperwork was in place. This meant the sale went through smoothly without any complications and within the time limit I wanted. I really appreciated their help and would recommend them to anyone.

Selina provided an excellent level of service. She was highly professional, efficient, and always quick to respond to any queries. Communication was clear and consistent throughout, which made the whole process much less stressful. The transaction itself was completed very quickly, and it was evident that Selina is extremely organised and knowledgeable in her work. I really appreciated her proactive approach and attention to detail. Overall, despite the slightly rocky start, I’m very pleased with the outcome and the service I received from Selina. I would definitely recommend her to others.

I cannot recommend Selina highly enough for her incredible work on my recent commercial property purchase. In an industry where these transactions typically take months, Selina managed to get everything across the finish line in just 14 days. From the moment we started, her efficiency was unmatched. If you need a solicitor who is sharp, tenacious, and capable of delivering under extreme time pressure, look no further than Selina. She turned what could have been a high-stress sprint into a seamless success. Would also like to extend my thanks to Helen Baxter on behalf of my father Mohammad, for helping at the start of this process too.

We recently used Merritts to complete our remortgage after experiencing ongoing delays and issues with a previous firm which caused huge amounts of stress. From the outset, Charlotte and her secretary Eleanor were professional, responsive, and efficient. They quickly picked up our case and ensured everything moved forward without any further unnecessary delays. Charlotte was able to swiftly and efficiently rectify an outstanding matter that the previous solicitor had failed to sort and that was preventing us from moving forward. They kept us informed throughout and Eleanor was also great at responding to any questions we had and kept us updated. After a matter of weeks, the remortgage was closed and completed successfully. We couldn't be more thankful to Charlotte and the team for getting this resolved so quickly and efficiently for us after all our earlier issues. Thank you!
