We had three different attempts at buying a property and we instructed Ema Jones to act as our solicitor for each one.
Ema Jones and Amber Walter helped on the first one, but sadly due to problems with the planning permission and the building we had to pull out from the purchase almost a year after the offer was accepted.
For the second attempt Ema and Gillian Towns worked really hard with a seller that in the end decided to pull the property out of the market in the week prior to exchange.
For the third attempt both Ema and Gillian Towns were again extremely professional and focused. The sale went from offer accepted to completion in less than 2 months and a few obstacles had to be navigated along the way. We are grateful to both Ema and Gill for their work which got us to completion.
I cannot recommend Ema Jones and Gillian Towns enough. They kept us informed at every step very efficiently and during the entire process were very thorough and proactive. I will not hesitate to ask Ema Jones and Gillian Towns to handle any future matters for us.

A property purchase can often be beset by complications and changing circumstances beyond a buyer's control. We are so pleased that you were third time lucky and that we were able to assist throughout! Delighted that this final transaction was able to be turned around quickly and that you were reassured by our service, despite set backs! Thank you for your excellent review of Ema and Amber's work.

Smooth property purchase
I used Ema Jones and her assistant Gill for a property purchase. They were very approachable and helpful. They always responded quickly to phone calls and emails, and gave detailed explanations of any issues. They were thorough and the purchase was completed in good time.

Excellent service for overseas sellers of UK property
Having moved to Switzerland, we initially instructed Peacock & Co. in connection with the sale of our UK property in August 2023. The pre-contract legal work was dealt with very quickly but we did not secure a buyer until June 2024. Ema Jones, assisted by Gillian Towns, then had some hard negotiating to get the matter to exchange in August, with completion at the end of October. We were very pleased with their tenacity and their clear advice.

Great team
We worked with Ema Jones and Gillian Towns on our property sale and purchase transactions. We found them to be extremely professional and responsive. Most importantly, they focused on the most critical matters at the right times and were very proactive in providing sensible and workable solutions to overcome potential transaction obstacles. Their calm and considered approach significantly eased the process for us and we can therefore wholeheartedly recommend them.

Peacocks solicitors’ conveyancing service; review of purchase and sale
Fantastic service from Ema, Gillian and all the team at Peacocks as we recently sold our property in Wimbledon and purchased another nearby. Thanks to their efficiency, prompt service and expert advice we completed on both sale and purchase in record time, and on our target date. Would absolutely recommend Peacocks’ team to one and all. Many thanks again from my family and I.
