Sale and purchase handled efficiently
We have had a great experience with Richard and Heidi who helped with our house sale and purchase. They were always on top of things, helped us navigate some tricky elements and were pleasant and friendly to work with. Exactly what I'd want of our solicitors.

Conveyancing
My first chain fell through so was nervous with my second one -both Richard and Heidi were brilliant-spoke to Heidi a lot and she was always so polite -helpful and reasuring even though she must have been extremely busy she always made me feel important and never a nuisance-I met Mr Carter to sign forms and he explained everything and never rushed me -I would recommend them 100% thank you both for getting me through it
Kind regards
Valerie

Executors Sale of retirement flat
I sold through Modern Auction as the market is very low for these properties and we needed the property sold because of steep ongoing costs to the landlord FirstPort, the management company E&M and the 200% Council Tax on an unoccupied property. Martin Tolhurst solicitors were selected for me, and I found them to be very good.

Highly Recommended Solicitors
We used Richard Carter at Martin Tolhurst Solicitors for selling our flat in London as well as buying our bungalow in Ramsgate. There were a lot of complex issues arising from the lease which Richard solved speedily and with accuracy. We were very impressed and will continue to use him for all our Legal Issues.

Able to Work Within Very Tight Timescale Really Pleased
Richard Carter was wonderful in acting for us with the purchase of our bungalow in Kent. We were relocating from London and as my husband and I have health problems, once we decided to move we decided it had to be done quickly. He was able to stick to our very tight timeframe which was also set by the seller, who wanted a very quick sale after being let down initially by a buyer in May. We are also using Richard to sell our London flat. We recommend Martin Tolhurst Solicitors highly.
