    Professional Service

    I was very pleased with the Grant extraction service provided by Ellisons. Nicola Healy was professional and supportive throughout. Communication was good and the transaction was handled efficiently. I felt confident that everything was being managed properly and I would happily recommend Ellisons to others.

    Abigail was extremely helpful and understood the urgency of the situation. She controlled the situation and kept us well informed along the way. All was concluded with a few days to spare. We are completely satisfied with the service.

    ENDURANCE WON THE DAY

    This was a particularly difficult transaction due to the buyer but mainly the very poor performance of his solicitor. The continued support and tenacity of Marion and her team in getting this across the line was vitally important.

    Our Experience 2025

    From the beginning of our recent sale and purchase, we have been advised in a professional and kindly manor by Kelly McClean @ Ellisons Legal . She has been our supportive and informative guide throughout the whole process and we thank her deeply. We would recommend and use her again should the occasion arise. Our many thanks also go to her colleague ( Daniel ) and to the ladies on reception who were an absolute delight. Many thanks to you all at Ellison for your kindness and professionalism shown to us.

      Re-mortgage

      Very happy to recommend Marion to anyone needing to re-mortgage. This was the second occasion that Marion has dealt with the legal side of a re-mortgage for me. I found her and her team to be very professional and efficient throughout.

      Transfer of Title Deeds - Land Registry

      I have had connections with Ellisons for many years, mainly regarding my Will, but this is the first time I’ve had anything to do with Land Registry. My husband died last year leaving two properties to me and his two brothers and it felt like quite a complicated process to have to consider! Emily dealt with this whole procedure incredibly efficiently Right from our first interaction I felt reassured by her professionalism and expertise. She kept us all clearly informed every step of the way, was friendly and approachable, and her communication was excellent! Nothing seemed too much trouble and I can’t thank her enough for all she did during such an emotional time.

      British Citizenship Application

      I am very pleased with the legal services provided in support of my British citizenship application through right of descent. The process involved several complexities, including coordinating documentation across British Columbia and Quebec, resolving name discrepancies in a parent's identity documents, and managing referee requirements. My attorney navigated all of this efficiently and with clear, practical guidance throughout. Communication was consistently responsive and professional. I always felt well-informed about next steps, which kept the application moving without unnecessary delays. I would recommend these services without hesitation to anyone pursuing a descent-based citizenship application.

      My brother and I can't thank Shah enough for seeing our late father's probate sale through to completion. He was patient, efficient and always on point, ensuring we were always ahead of the game. No matter how many obstacles our buyers solicitors put in the way, Shah's wealth of experience shone through. Ellisons not only dealt with the sale, but their Private Client team also handled the probate in a very timely and efficient manner. Great service all round.

      My wife and I had our Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney prepared by Amy and her team, and we highly recommend Ellisons as a go-to law firm for wills, LPAs and inheritance tax advice. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable, taking the time to clearly explain each step of the will writing and Lasting Power of Attorney process and providing helpful guidance on inheritance tax planning. The entire experience was professional, efficient and incredibly smooth from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ellisons to anyone looking for reliable solicitors for wills, inheritance tax advice and LPAs.
