Martin was everything I would expect a top solicitor to be. He was knowledgeable, responsive, supportive, calm, and overall an excellent professional to work with.

Collected on:
The team were friendly and approachable, responding to emails/phone calls promptly - sometimes multiple times within the same day and even while on leave at times!
They were professional and kept me well-informed throughout the process, with my solicitor asking detailed questions and leaving no stone unturned when it came to getting the required information to proceed with the purchase. They made sure I was comfortable with what was provided and understood what was happening before proceeding, ensuring I was comfortable to proceed.
Overall I couldn't be happier with the service provided and would definitely come back to them for further legal services.
A representative from RIAA Barker Gillette (UK) LLP responded to this review on 13 August, 2024:
Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you felt well-supported throughout the process.

I've got nothing but good things to say about my experience. All the staff were friendly, professional and available to help as some parts of the process required multiple back-and-forth emails/phone calls within the same day. I will be using them again for any further legal services!

Martin and his team provided a great service during a slightly gruelling conveyancing period that took over 6 months. He was patient and always available to talk. Even during a busier personal matter. I'm grateful to have had his expertise during the sale of property

Compare Ben Marks and Martin Alfreds with MJ and Pippen - the conveyancers dream team. Both Ben and Martin were amazing in assisting us with the completion of our first purchase. Martin was always accessible, understanding and prompt when dealing with our matter. Martin kept us within the loop at every stage of the transaction and always kept us at ease providing confidence throughout. I would highly recommend both Ben and Martin to anybody who require conveyancers to deal with their matters. They are both very professional and go above and beyond to make sure your needs and interests are well looked after. We can't thank Ben and Martin enough for their terrific work, thank you.
A representative from RIAA Barker Gillette (UK) LLP responded to this review on 12 December, 2024:
Thank you for the fantastic review. We're delighted Ben and Martin provided such a seamless and professional service for your first purchase. Being compared to MJ and Pippen is high praise—they truly are a dream team! Congratulations on your new home, and thank you for choosing RIAA Barker Gillette UK.

Highly recommended! I have recently instructed Gina Brodkin to deal with extension of lease for my property. Gina has been excellent: very responsive, friendly, professional and provided a good value. Also, answered any questions I had. Gina has spotted that Building Safety Act 2022 can potentially apply to my property. The transaction has been completed successfully. Thank you Gina!

RIAABG have simply been outstanding and have always gone above and beyond.
They carefully guided me as an entrepreneur with a crazy dream through to a multi-million pound fundraise to build a luxury fitness facility in the heart of Canary Wharf.
Not only did they provide budget-friendly but complex advice, they honoured fixed price commitments even when the original scope expanded considerably.
I couldn't be more pleased.
Here's to a long and prosperous partnership together.
