Excellent service!

I have instructed Richard at EMG for my last two house moves.
He is calm, clear and concise with a friendly approach. Richard was proactive at every stage of the process and kept me fully up to date. Highly recommend!

Extremely positive experience. Guided by Claire French who was approachable and reassuringly extremely knowledgeable . Matter was dealt with and completed quickly.
Further meeting to sign and complete paperwork,again led by Claire who took her time to ensure all was understood.
Other Legal Firms possibly cheaper, but happy to pay the rate for the quality( and reassurance) of the service we got.

My husband and I were so very lucky to work with Claire - she helped us navigate through a very difficult stage in our lives and she displayed great professionalism and also empathy, patience and a lot of understanding. She was always prepared to go the extra mile - like sending emails or finishing a meeting outside her working ours. Big THANK YOU to her and her team. We could not recommend her highly enough.

Professional and consistently excellent!

From beginning to end, queries were promptly responded to. Support and patience was given when using online document formats.
Feedback and updates through hiccups which delayed the process (Land registry)
I liaised with Victoria regularly, who is meticulous, organised and persistent in her manner.

Absolutely appalling…avoid at all costs.

My buyer is using this solicitor and they are completely unresponsive, we have a no chain straightforward sale which is now in its SIXTH month, costing me thousands and these people will not respond to mine, my buyer or my conveyancers calls or emails. Even the director will only give us a “I’ll look into it”

My own conveyancer is not much better but they were ready to complete two weeks ago yet couldn’t get ahold of EMG for a week, now another week has gone by with no response besides “we are finalising the buyers source of income”.

Reading other reviews it looks like nothing is going to happen this side of Christmas, which will cause me massive financial stress on top of just having a newborn baby.

I do not understand why we have had this experience since there are many 5 star reviews but perhaps my account of this disappointing service might help move things forward for us. I see some reviews have been responded to.

If things are going to take so many months at least be upfront with customers rather than blatant ignorance?

Consistently excellent!
Super communication, and tenacity throughout the entire process of selling a property through auction; managing hiccups and delays with Land registry, purchaser ill health. I highly recommend. Thankyou.
