Voluntary first registration
Gurjit dealt with the voluntary first registration of my property. It was dealt with swiftly by Gurjit and the land registry's queries were dealt with quickly although the land registry took 18 months to complete the registration. Gurjit did mention the long timescale when application was submitted.
A representative from Machins Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 09 April, 2025:
Thank you, Carol! We’re glad to hear that Gurjit provided swift and a efficient residential conveyancing service despite the long timescale with the Land Registry. Your feedback is much appreciated!

Excellent service
Nicki Denton-Masih and her team handled the probate application for my late mother and the closure of a trust. It was a pleasure to deal with Nicki. She was friendly and efficient, clearly explaining the process and responding promptly and concisely to any queries. A truly excellent service. I would highly recommend Nicki.

Conveyancing
The process of conveyancing for this leasehold property was protracted, for a number of reasons, including an ambiguous lease, and a variety of economic factors. Our solicitor navigated and negotiated the process in our best interests to get the outcome we wanted. As a case study for selling a leasehold property, building insurance arrangements became a key obstacle for conveyancers. Citing section 164 of the Commonhold and leasehold Reform Act 2002 may have served to reassure conveyancers that the building insurance arrangements for this leasehold property where exactly what and how they are required to be.
A representative from Machins Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 07 April, 2025:
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Paul. We understand that the process of conveyancing, especially with leasehold properties, can sometimes be complex and challenging. We're pleased to hear that our solicitor was able to navigate and negotiate on your behalf to achieve the outcome you were hoping for. We also appreciate your feedback on the building insurance arrangements and the mention of Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002. It’s always valuable to learn from our clients’ perspectives. If you need any further assistance or have any questions in the future, we’re always here to help.

From first meeting Mr Gibson-Birch he made me feel very comfortable , as making my will was not an easy experience, but his kindly professional manner put me at ease , as he carefully and fully explained everything to me. I now feel very ' at ease' knowing that I have made the right decisions for my family. I cannot thank him enough.

Thank you for your kind words, Cherry. We're so glad Nigel was able to make the process comfortable and reassuring for you.

When our mother died they were helpful in supplying her will, so we went back to them when selling her house. We were not disappointed, as they were very efficient, keeping us informed at each step and working quickly with the sale.

Thank you Machins! Radha was so helpful and went out of her way to help me with a seemingly small and insignificant task. She was so kind and so understanding of my needs. I had a very different interaction with another firm a matter of hours before speaking with her & her professionalism shone through - she really was a breath of fresh air. Will highly recommend going forward!

My partner and I worked closely with Jackie Hand for a little over a year whilst we purchased our first home. Jackie was everything you could want from a solicitor. She ensured that we were always kept up to date with the process and properly understood all the different phases of house buying. Communication was always quick and she truly cared about the purchase of our first home. Buying a house could feel daunting at times and we felt really cared for with Jackie. I would highly recommend Machins and Jackie Hand for any house purchase.

A representative from Machins Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 07 February, 2025:

Congratulations on your new home, and thank you for recommending Machins! If you ever need assistance in the future, we’re here to help.
