Roger Matharoo
Property Lawyer
Roger is currently a Property Lawyer based in our Gravesend office of the firm and has 12 years of experience in property law. He specialises in residential property transactions, lease extensions, shared ownership, re-mortgages and transfers of equity.
He took a rather unconventional route to Property Law in that I initially studied Electronics & Communications engineering at the Merchant Navy College Greenhithe and then went on to a successful career in IT Field maintenance.
Roger had always been interested in property and so, looking for a new challenge, I decided to study for a career in Property Law. He joined a local high street practice as a Trainee Conveyancer in 2004 and became a fully qualified Licenced Conveyancer in 2006. He has acted for both private and commercial clients dealing with all aspects of residential property transactions ranging from sales and purchases, lease extensions, shared ownership, re-mortgages and transfers of equity. He has also dealt with a varied caseload of commercial matters acting for landlords, tenants, developers and investors.
Roger believes that the customer service experience gained whilst in the IT industry has proved an invaluable tool in the conveyancing world, as effective communication is always the key to a smooth conveyancing transaction.
Outside of the office he enjoys socialising with friends and family. He also likes to travel and have managed to visit India, New Zealand, Cuba, New York, The Maldives, Dubai and more recently Mexico.

Excellent service
Once our case had been passed to him, our solicitor Roger Matharoo proved extremely efficient, patient, responsive - both on the phone and by email - and easy to deal with during the conveyancing of our recent property sale. He worked swiftly through all the paperwork, answered questions rapidly, gave concise advice, kept on top of timelines and, within everything inside his control, helped to conclude matters as smoothy as possible.

Sale of house following bereavement
Sarah from Martin Tolhurst dealt with the Probate application and will complete estate distribution following my father-in-law's passing earlier this year. We have been very happy with Sarah's work and support, so it seemed natural to ask if they could do the conveyancing on the father-in-law's house when the time came. Roger (the conveyancing solicitor) was very helpful, fully supporting the sale through an online auction. That sale has now completed, and we are more than happy with the service provided. We expect estate distribution to happen very soon.

Commercial Sale
Sometimes you are the one that initiates and are the driving force to accomplish the goals and objectives. Sadly, without your input and attention, chasing and enquiring repeatedly becomes the norm.
I am delighted to say that my solicitor was always the one who was on the ball and chasing up responses from the other parties.
My sale became very protracted and at one point appeared to have totally collapsed, despite these setbacks there was a steady commitment to bring it to the finish line. Very grateful for the professionalism displayed.

Excellent Service
After converting a maissonette into two flats new leases were required for each dwelling. This was not a simple renewing of leases, however, I was given good clear advice about what was required from the onset.
There were issues with the freehold from the very beginning, what should have taken a few months ended up taking almost a year. I had previously tried to get these leases with another solicitor without success. Having tried to get these leases previously I was very sceptical about whether it would ever happen but Roger dealt with every issue in a timely manner and continually pursued the other side to bring this to fruition.
I could not have asked for more support or a better service and I would highly recommend this company.

Property Services
I have been dealing with Roger Matharoo since Dec 2022 on a variety of property matters. From the initial "web enquiry" up to todays date, Roger has been a pleasure to deal with. He works swiftly, explains anything needed and is very patient when faced with difficult situations and the multiple questions that I have fired at him! Having had bad experiences with solicitors in the past who have taken far too long to respond and not been knowledgeable, Roger, and indeed everyone I have dealt with at Martin Tolhurst have been exemplary , I have no hesitation in recommending them.
