Very person-centred
Kirsty was very supportive, explained matters well to my father, and ensured that he was fully ware in relation to the LPA.
She was very patient with my father in relation to his slow processing/memory recall.
For myself, it was reassuring to know that he was an active part of the process. Very person-centred, with the client at the absolute heart of the decision making.
A representative from Eatons responded to this review on 18 August, 2025:
Thank you, David. We’re delighted Kirsty could provide such patient, supportive, and client-focused guidance for your father’s LPA process.

Excellent and Swift
Julie MacGregor was an excellent conveyancer. We had a slow process with other parties in our staircasing transaction, but when it came to Eatons role Julie acted swiftly and ensured we completed by deadlines to ensure we incurred no extra costs
Additionally the price was reasonable and not excessive
A representative from Eatons responded to this review on 02 June, 2025:
Thank you for your feedback, Danny. Julie is pleased to have handled your staircasing efficiently and helped you meet your deadlines without extra costs.

Legal Scammers
Avoid this company unless you want to wait a lifetime for anything to be done. It took nearly 8 months to move into our first home with no chain as communication was horrendous and we spent all our time chasing things up to the point we might aswell have done their job, only for nothing to move forward. 2 years later it came to remortgaging, only to find out that the land registry still hasn't been completed. I have been chasing this up for 10 months to get the same response saying, 'it is being actively chased' and they are 'waiting for a response'. First of all I had Rebecca Parkinson to deal with who is about as much use as a chocolate teapot, Secondly I am now dealing with Sarah Rounding who seems to have picked up Rebecca's habits really well using what must be an automated response for them now saying they are actively chasing it. Stay well clear, of this firm, they will take your money and do half the job costing you more money in the long run. Embarrassing!!

Myself and my partner were recommended Amanda at Eatons through our mortgage advisor as he said she was great to work with.. He definitely wasn't wrong. We started the process and we had many issues along the way and found Amanda to be more than helpful with any set backs we had. She always kept us updated with where we were at with the purchase and answered any questions or concerns we had. We would most definitely recommend Amanda at Eatons as she was so friendly and easy to work with and went out of her way to help make the sale happen. Thankyou so much for all your help and we are so happy in our new home!
A representative from Eatons responded to this review on 20 November, 2023:
Thank you for your kind words, Emily. We're delighted to hear that Amanda provided fantastic support, went above and beyond, and maintained excellent communication. Your appreciation means a lot to us. If you ever need further assistance, feel free to reach out.

I used Eatons to purchase my home and they did a amazing job! They are very hard working and are quick and efficient. They are also very fairly priced.
They where always available for any queries or questions you have and get back to you immediately.
Yasser was handing my file, and always made sure everything was done on time and correctly. A top solicitor.
Highly recommend!
A representative from Eatons responded to this review on 20 November, 2023:
Thank you for your positive review. We are delighted to hear about your exceptional experience with Yasser. If you have any more property needs in the future, feel free to reach out.

About this branch
Description
One way Eatons is different is because we understand that using a solicitor can be a daunting prospect. It's inevitable — the situation that leads you to consult with one is more often than not one of difficulty and distress. Not to mention that, when you do actually speak with one, they use jargon-filled terminology that is impossible for anyone without a Law degree to understand. Part of the reason we have lasted so long and are trusted by thousands of people is that we approach legal protection from a truly personal standpoint. Avoiding incomprehensible language and drawn-out explanations; we make sure our legal advice is clear and practical for you. In this way, from the moment you contact us, you feel at ease, in control, and safe in the knowledge that you are receiving exactly the right legal protection for you.
