Houes Conveyancing

EMG were excellent throughout the complete process. Due to an absence of Probate the purchase of the house took some time but I was always kept informed of progress and the eventual completion was a seamless affair.

I was guided through the process of conveyancing with patience and factual guidance throughout. If I had a query Susan at EMG called back swiftly and followed up to work on my behalf together with Richard. Very reassuring and professional company.

Property purchase review

Having bought multiple properties before using other solictor firms I am blown away at the service provided by EMG.
Richard swinbank and his team ( Susan and Paige) have done an amazing job on what for me was a difficult purchase involving fast completion and possessory deed title. The communication through out the process was perfect
Id recommend to anyone purchasing a house to use this firm

Fantastic service from Richard Swinbank, Susan Cozens & Paige Raisbeck. They completely went above & beyond to ensure everything went smoothly with my house sale & purchase. Communication & correspondence was perfect. If I ever need a solicitor again I would not hesitate to have EMG act for me.

Once again the service we received from Richard at EMG was fantastic and he made a potentially stressful sale much easier due to his honest communication and proactive approach.

Richard always returned our calls, answered questions (no matter how daft!) and gave us full confidence throughout the process that the sale of our house was being handled professionally and efficiently.

Despite a few curve balls being thrown our way (and an unresponsive solicitor on the other side) Richard went above and beyond to gain access to archaic documents and as a result helped get the sale through as quickly as possible.

This is the 2nd time that we have chosen Richard to represent us, and we will not hesitate to use him in the future.
Who knew a 5 star solicitor existed?!!

EMG solicitors made the purchase & process of our first home so easy & stress free! We would highly recommend their services and wouldn’t use anyone else after the great service we have received. Richard & Paige we both really helpful throughout the whole process and we’re always able to answer and queries we had it explain anything we want too sure about. Thank you again!
