    Purchase of bungalow

    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".

    A resilient conveyancer.

    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.

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.

    Naeem,

    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.

    from Merritts Solicitors LLP

    Dear Naeem. Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Selina delivered such efficient support and helped complete your commercial property purchase in a remarkably short timeframe.

    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!

      Dealt with Charlotte for a simple buy to let cash purchase. Over a period of weeks, there was No reply to emails and no reply to telephone messages. I even attended the office(albeit without an appointment) and waited in the reception area for 1 minute of her time. She emailed the secretary to say she didn’t have 1 minute to meet me, but would get round to looking at my file (!) Typing the email to the secretary would have taken longer than meeting me and answering the query I had.

      We used Merritt’s Solicitors in Yarm to handle both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one, and we were very pleased with the service. Communication was excellent throughout, and we were kept well informed at every stage. We never felt the need to chase for updates, which made the whole process much less stressful. Everything was handled professionally and efficiently, and we always felt that things were under control. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Merritt’s Solicitors to anyone looking for a friendly and professional service.

      I have had Louise Wilson working on 2 property acquisitions for the last 8 months and she has been incredibly professional through the whole experience. She has been on top of both cases and has helped me complete a very challenging purchase with lots of moving parts. Her communication is excellent and she has simplified the complex legalities to a level where I fully understood and make informed decisions throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend Merritts and will be using them for future purchases.
