Excellent Will Writing Service

I needed to update my Will and rewrite it with less legal jargon. Mitchell (paralegal) was extremely helpful in this regard and explained everything clearly. After one visit to their offices and a few emails I was sent draft hard copies of my new Will which I found very helpful. All queries were dealt with respectfully and quickly by Michell. The signing and witnessing of the Will was made easy by a second visit and I am very pleased with the outcome, my mind is now at rest. I would definitely use Rainer Hughes again for any other legal matters.

Excellent Service

Thoroughly recommend these solicitors having bought and sold property through them. They are very approachable to deal with and got my transactions through very efficiently. Although I now have moved 75 miles away I will continue to use them as I do see me getting a better service from anyone else.

Sanjay Panesar ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I, and an elderly member of my family, owe a great debt of gratitude to
a trusted friend who recommended Rainer Hughes to us four years ago.

Since then, Sanjay Panesar, a senior partner at the practise, has provide exemplary counsel on a range of legal issues, all resulting in very happy and satisfactory outcomes.

Finding a good solicitor can be a lottery, I was hesitant of using a solicitor who wasnt based in the same county as us may course issues in the way of holding meetings etc, this was not the case at all and Our experience with Sanjay and his
team leads me unhesitatingly to endorse my friend's original recommendation.

Rainer Hughes deliver the highest levels of expert, professional legal advice and representation. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

The free bonus is that they are very 'user friendly', with a cracking sense of
humour.

Probably the finest practise in Essex and I would recommend them to anyone regardless of location.

Excellent Advice and Quality Service

I was the sole executor of a fairly complex Estate where Rainer Hughes had been involved arranging the will for my late father in law. My affairs were looked after by Michael Casson and Amanda Wright, with significant help at other times by various members of the team. Their expertise and knowledge were invaluable and I have no doubt that without their involvement and guidance we would not have had such a successful conclusion. The firm also handled the ultimate sale of the property without any hitches bearing in mind the imminent closure of the stamp duty window. Thank you and very highly recommended

Amazing Firm

We had the pleasure being assisted by Peter Connolly and Lauren Sweeney during our purchase. The service that Peter and Lauren provided was nothing short of amazing. Their speed, thoroughness and professionalism was very impressive. We would highly recommend to anybody and most certainly will use this firm (preferably Peter & Lauren) as they made our experience 100% stress free.

Excellent Service

We used Rainer Hughes when selling my late mother’s property and Lauren made what was a difficult process for us bearable. The problems that arose due to the property being leasehold with an unresponsive and unhelpful management company were dealt with professionally and were overcome. Lauren kept us well informed of progress, and all three of us were copied into emails and consulted throughout. Phone calls were answered promptly, and Lauren provided clear explanations and advice. We would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Rainer Hughes, and in particular Lauren. I would certainly use Lauren for any future conveyancing. Thank you to Lauren and the rest of the team.

After experiencing some very bad conveyancing solicitors, we finally found Rainer Hughes who we have now used for several auction property purchases. Their level of service has been impeccable and we can't recommend them enough. Thank you especially to Rehana for her outstanding speed and efficiency!

Having completed on the sale of our flat, I can highly recommend using the Solicitor, Mrs Rehana Maka from Rainer Hughes.
Her attention to detail was excellent and she was very friendly and a pleasure to deal with. She always responded very promptly when I called or emailed her. I would also like to thank Pavneet Johal, as she was of great assistance as well throughout the process.
Many thanks and will definitely be using their services again.
