The best!

I used Manchesters to purchase my first property in 2017 and was really happy with the service and support. When it was time to sell up and buy a new home earlier this year, there were no doubts as to who my first choice of solicitor would be. James Manchester is kind, supportive, thorough and patient. He is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to make sure that I understood what was happening step by step. I felt reassured throughout. Whenever we had a call or face to face appointment, it was on time and never felt rushed. The team in the office were also amazing, recognising my voice when I called in and being as up to date with the sale/purchase as was needed. Emails are always responded to, calls returned etc. The whole service is very personal, I felt like James was carefully watching over and going above and beyond to meet deadlines and get the results we wanted. I wouldn’t use anybody else and I would happily recommend.

conveyancing quagmire

James Manchester helped navigate a very tricky conveyancing issue with kindness as well as ensuring all bases were covered and being very generous with his time. I would definitely use Manchesters again as this Firm looks after your interests and gives personal service, so rare in these times. James knows his stuff , you are in good hands.

A thorough and most helpful service

With the lease on my wife's leasehold property fast reducing to a dangerous level of all the solicitors in the Croydon area I contacted for help, James Manchester of Manchesters Solicitors was the only person willing to take on the task. He has been thorough, patient and totally professional in his dealings with the freeholder's solicitors and during the renewal process he identified a problem with the allocated parking space which was resolved by a new lease plan being drawn up by an outside company, fully accepted by the freeholder. As a result my wife now has a new 125 year lease and her concerns have been fully satisfied. A truly wonderful firm on our doorstep.

Professional detailed approach

My family and I have used Manchesters Solicitors during the last 5 years for both the sale and purchase of 3 leasehold purchases, the latest being in February 2025. We would highly recommend James Manchester and his staff for a detailed approach, being available for advice and keeping us fully updated during the process.

Brilliant Firm

I have just completed a complicated house sale with Manchesters. They are a thoroughly decent traditional family law firm and I have nothing but praise for their communication, hard work and of course technical skills in getting our deal over the line.

Unwavering support and professionalism.

We recently worked with Manchesters Solicitors during the sale of our property, and the process proved to be extremely long and exceptionally challenging at times. Throughout it all, our solicitor James was unwavering in his support and professionalism. He consistently guided us through every stage with clarity, patience, and reassurance. He ensured that we understood each development and took the time to explain complex issues in a way that made the entire process far less daunting. What stood out most was how supported we felt from start to finish. His diligence, attention to detail, and steady guidance were invaluable, and we truly cannot thank him enough. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending James and the team at Manchester's Solicitors to anyone needing a solicitor they can rely on completely. We will always appreciate the care, patience, and dedication they showed us.
