Friendly & efficient.

It has been reassuring to have Motley & Hope on my side whilst I tried to sort out all the legal complications of my parents including dealing with Probate when Dad died and selling their house when Mum went into a care home.
M&H have been a steady guiding hand throughout and I will definitely be using them again.

Fantastic Service and Professionalism

We have just finished selling our house and used Motley & Hope as our solicitors. From start to finish their service and attention to detail was fantastic. Claire Bell, Sarah Sheridan-Wallis and Michelle Catling work brilliantly as a team, answering our questions and calls promptly and taking us through all the stages of the selling process professionally and efficiently. We are so grateful for all their help as they made a usually stressful process seem easy. Would definitely recommend them.

Another successful conveyance!

We have used Motley & Hope for the second time for a property conveyance. We were singing their praises the first time (which is why we went back to them again) and once again, we received a wonderful, efficient and empathetic service once again. The feeling is that the team really do care about the outcome and do everything they can to make it turn out well. A big thank you to the team.

Exceptional Service

I can't really find the words to describe the exceptional service I have received during my recent move. I was kept informed at every stage, with even the purchase of my new build explained to me and Motley & Hope weren't dealing with that part of the move! Nothing was too much trouble and all areas were dealt with in a professional and friendly, relaxed manner.

I can't thanked everyone enough for all their help.

A song that describes this solicitor

Our solicitor Claire Bell could be described in the Billy Ocean song, When the going gets tough the tough get going. Her determination to overcome hurdles that lay in the way was tireless as she dealt with a particularly difficult restriction in the title deeds of our property.
Claire and her team Michelle and Sarah were amazing they always replied to our e mails and phone calls very quickly and kept us updated at all times.
We highly recomend Claire for her knowledge and experience in property conviencing

First Class

During what turned out to be a very tortuous sale of our property, Claire and her team at Motley & Hope were the only ray of professional sunshine. They had to deal with the scourge of an "on line conveyancing" company but remained, at all times, calm and professional. They communicated well with us all the way through - well done - I would recommend Motley and Hope to everyone who wants a professional, relatively trouble free conveyance. It should also be noted that we were in personal contact with Claire and her team whenever we wanted - you couldn't say that about everyone in our chain.

Five star conveyancing service

Claire and her conveyancing team have provided us with excellent support for the sale of our property. They have all maintained a positive and professional approach, even when things were rather challenging! They went above and beyond their remit to ensure client satisfaction. We would happily recommend the team to anyone wishing to use a conveyancing service - you would be in very safe hands. Jacqueline and Andrew Beattie
