Fantastic Firm

5

We had a very dim view of solicitors after a really bad experience with another firm, but Lalitha & Jasmin have been exceptional in dealing with our property sale and purchase (still ongoing). Friendly, always there to help with any questions. I would also like to thank the lady on reception, but can't remember her name, apologies. Just everything about Matthews & Matthews, makes you feel like you are in safe hands, can't recommend them enough. Thank you all

First class service

5

Matthew & Matthew were recommended to us by friends, and from day one we found them very polite, friendly and professional.
Since then they have been right beside us throughout the process of selling our property. Communication has been exceptional; Keeping us fully informed with the progress, and have always quick to respond to any queries or concerns. They have been incredibly supportive and positive; even when things have dragged on, and managed the whole process with admirable patience and class throughout.
Could not recommend them more highly.

Timely Assistance when most needed

5

We needed to choose a solicitor for a remortgage. Having called several firms, we chose Matthew & Matthew for two reasons: The initial enquiry was dealt with most efficiently and the pricing was competitive.
Lalitha, our solicitor, was thorough and efficient. She went the extra mile to help us (literally from her sick bed) We were so grateful to have had her for the conveyance. Thank you Lalitha, you were great!

I had the pleasure of working with Lalitha as my solicitor to purchase my property. Lalitha, along with Jasmin, ensured that I was constantly informed throughout the entire process. Their communication was exceptional, always readily available, and I truly appreciated their prompt responses to any queries I had. I highly recommend their services and will definitely be utilizing them again in the future.
