First Time Buying a House

Rosie Was incredibly professional and supportive in the process of buying my first home.

Every step was straightforward and explained to me very well.

By the end of the purchase I found myself amazed at how smoothly everything went.

I would highly recommend any property buyer or seller to Approach Machins.

Sale of property in Hemel Hempstead

Rosie and her team were helpful, understanding and easy to contact. I was selling from abroad which is not easy but the whole process was smooth and well explained.
I would not hesitate to recommend Machins Berkhamsted.

Made things much easier

Rosie was an absolute star the entire way through our house purchase, nothing was too much to ask and she was always on hand to answer any questions we had. Rosie also ensured things were as stress free for us as possible by keeping us posted on where everything was up to and making sure all documents were sent as quickly as possible.

We managed to complete quite quickly mainly because of Rosie’s determination.

Machins Berkhamsted Housesale

The whole process from agreeing price to completion on the sale of our house took 3 1/2 months, driven a lot by our solicitor keeping on top of the buyer's side, so we were pleased with how things were progressed. The only hiccup we had was in (not) getting our NS&I account details to match, so last minute we had to switch to using a current account. Machins handled this quickly on the day, but it could have been avoided if the details had been checked earlier in the process

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that overall, you were pleased with how smoothly the sale progressed and that our team was able to keep things moving efficiently. We appreciate your understanding regarding the NS&I account issue and are pleased we were able to resolve it promptly on the day. However, we do take your point that it could have been addressed earlier, and we'll review our processes to ensure a smoother experience in the future. Thank you again for choosing Machins, and we wish you all the best in your new home!

Roshien Crownshaw (Rosie) dealt with the sale of my property. She was always professional and very patient. She responded to phone calls and emails promptly. She was accommodating and met with me at the office when necessary.

Brilliant and efficient

We approached Dan Bradley at Machins to help draft a lease document - Dan was helpful efficient informative and totally professional . I highly recommend Machins and Dan.

I contacted Machins Solicitors regarding an outcome of a disciplinary hearing and employment laws. Phil was my solicitor and his service was BRILLIANT: he fully listened to my case and we discussed all points about it. He was honest, very empathic, and explained what I could do in my situation.
He saved me from countless hours of anxiety and bad sleep nights.
Wish him all the best,
Best regards,
Tiago
