What clients say about Brian Mackenow & Co Limited

The firm is praised for conveyancing expertise, particularly in buying and selling homes, auction completions, flat purchases and leasehold matters. Clients valued their professionalism, thoroughness, promptness and ability to keep complex transactions moving under pressure. Soft skills highlighted include clear explanations, responsiveness, proactivity, courtesy and a welcoming manner. Fees were seen as reasonable and communication generally excellent. Negative feedback was limited, but a few clients noted that responses could sometimes be slower because of workload, and that transactions were occasionally affected by delays or impatience from the other side.

Very responsive and a great service

Answered the phone every time and emails promptly - which seems to be rare these days! Reasonable fees and a great service. I dealt with their managing partner Sean - highly recommended and I will use their services again.

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.
