Great Service and knowledge

Victoria Skelton provided outstanding support during a complex legal matter involving a former partner and a leasehold agreement. She demonstrated excellent knowledge of the legal intricacies involved and handled the situation with professionalism and clarity throughout. Her advice was always clear, practical, and well-considered, which gave me confidence during what was a stressful process. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing expert legal guidance in similar matters.

Excellent Service

This is the first time we have worked with Alex and we cannot thank Alex enough for the excellent service he and his team provided in ensuring that the transfer of property ownership to us was completed correctly, smoothly, and in line with our schedule. Alex was always on hand to objectively answer our every question, address any concerns we had, as well as to advise us on what was required. Throughout the whole journey he provided a service that far exceeded our expectations.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful feedback.

Outstanding service from Vikki

I recently instructed Vikki to assist in evicting a tenant and right from the start her prompt communication and knowledge surrounding my options has been outstanding. I'd definitely recommend Vikki if you're a landlord.

Great Service!

I’ve worked with Merritt's for several years now in my capacity as a letting agent manager, managing a sizeable rental portfolio. Their knowledge of landlord and tenant law is exceptional, they consistently provide clear, practical advice that allows me to act quickly and confidently on behalf of my landlords. In an industry where timelines, compliance are critical, with the added stresses of continuous legislation change. Their responsiveness and attention to detail make a real difference. A special mention goes to Victoria Skelton, their litigation specialist. Victoria has been outstanding in handling more complex and contentious matters. Her expertise in dispute resolution and possession proceedings is second to none. She is thorough, strategic, and always keeps me informed throughout. Most importantly, she approaches every issue with professionalism and a calm, reassuring manner that gives both me and my clients complete confidence when it’s needed most. Victoria also recently partnered with us to host a highly successful landlord event focused on the forthcoming Renters’ Reform legislation, where we combined our expertise to provide guidance and clarity on the upcoming changes. Her contribution was invaluable and extremely well received by attendees. Whether its routine tenancy matters or more challenging litigation issues, the service is efficient, reliable, and results driven. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Victoria Skelton to any landlord or property professional looking for a solicitor who truly understands the rental sector.

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.

Dealt with Louise Wilson. Great communicator, got back to my emails promptly. Rang me to update me of anything of importance. I can't really fault her service. Overall very happy. Had a deadline because buyers were going away on vacation & business. If the sale of my property had non gone through in the time required things would have been delayed by another month or potentially cancelled. I got emails outside of normal working hours to aid the sale of my property and push things forward and in the end the sale went through smoothly. Thank you.

from Merritts Solicitors LLP

Thank you for your positive review. We are delighted to hear that you were so happy with the service provided by Louise Wilson. Maintaining prompt communication and providing timely telephone updates is a priority for us, especially when working against tight deadlines involving international travel and business commitments. We are pleased Louise was able to ensure your sale went through in the required timeframe. I will be sure to share your kind feedback with her. Thank you for choosing our firm!

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.

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.

Excellent Service

I contacted Vikki over a consumer issue. After an initial telephone call, where Vikki explained my rights, she then agreed to act on my behalf. Throughout the process, Vikki has been very professional and thorough. Great communication and explains things clearly, and the best outcome for me was achieved. Can't thank her enough and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
