The firm is praised for conveyancing work, including last-minute auction completions, flat purchases, leasehold matters, lease extensions and buying and selling homes. Clients value its professionalism, promptness, thoroughness and clear explanations, with strong communication, responsiveness and a proactive, reassuring approach.

Negative feedback is limited, but some clients felt they needed to chase at times, with occasional delays in replies or reliance on other solicitors, and a few described the team as very busy.

Exceptional service

Sean Gardiner was exceptional throughout my last‑minute auction completion. Professional, prompt, and incredibly well‑informed — he handled everything with precision and confidence. Easily the best conveyancer I’ve dealt with, and I’ll be returning for future work

First Time House Purchase

Overall a good experience. Sean was very prompt, a very busy man, but very quick to respond once he got to the case. Did an excellent job in juggling rather demanding seller solicitors and a final contract sign/key exchange that was quite crammed - again, seller's being impatient. Always made time to see me/the client if I had queries. No serious complaints at all.

Amazing flat purchase conveyancing

I cannot recommend this firm highly enough, specifically Sean Gardiner. From start to finish, he was professional, responsive, and incredibly thorough throughout what turned out to be a far more complicated flat purchase than expected. He dealt with numerous issues along the way, including complex enquiries, leasehold matters, and delays from the seller's side. Despite these hurdles, he was always proactive, kept me informed at every stage, and worked tirelessly to keep the transaction moving and meet our deadlines. Communication was excellent throughout, and I always felt that they had my best interests at heart. His dedication, persistence, and attention to detail gave me confidence during what could have been a very stressful process. A huge thank you to the team for all of your hard work and professionalism. I genuinely appreciate everything you did to help us complete our purchase, and I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone looking for a reliable and committed conveyancing solicitor.

Perfect service

Sean Gardiner at Brian Mackenow was wonderful in dealing with my lease extension. He was very knowledgable about the whole process and talked me through the full procedure. His communication with the other solicitor was rapid so we completed in a very timely manner. Thank you!
