Excellent service

Excellent service from Samantha Newton and her team. After losing 3 buyers, we succeeded on the fourth.
Samantha did a brilliant job and we would highly recommend her. She did a lot of work, having had 4 buyers, and although it became tiresome at times, she never gave up. She was always available to talk to and was always cheerful, along with her team. Well done.

Samantha Harvey and team

Samantha was fantastic at communicating with me during our sale of our home and purchase of our new home. She and her team went out of her way to explain things, chase up and make our sale happen all before the stamp duty rise despite challenges from our seller. Couldn’t rate her and her team of secretaries enough.

Excellent service 10/10

Having had a past bad experience with solicitors and conveyancing I was worried this would be the same. How wrong I was. Kirsty Martin From Martin Tolhurst introduced herself at the beginning of the sale of my parents home and kept in touch throughout the at times emotional and long winded process. She communicated everything so clearly. Totally professional throughout the process and dealt with ALL queries promptly. She definitely made this experience better and easier for myself. First class.

Professional and efficient. Would use again!

We used Martin Tolhurst for both selling and purchasing, and Samantha and her team provided an excellent service throughout. Even though our sale was completed months before our purchase, they handled everything seamlessly, ensuring a smooth and stress-free process from start to finish.

The team was professional, efficient, and always kept us informed. Thank you!

Excellent Service from start to finish

As first time buyers we had no idea of the process to our house.
Samantha and her team have made the entire process seamless and worry free.
You hear horror stories about solicitors not contacting buyers for months or weeks on end but this was definitely not the case in our experience.
We heard from Samantha and her team at least one a week sometimes more. The peace of mind this gave us was absolutely invaluable.
I cannot sing their praises enough thank you so much for doing such And incredible job of helping us buy our first time it has been relatively stressed and worry free and we are so grateful for this experience

An amazing experience due to Samantha's hard work

I couldn't recommend Samantha more. Our chain was incredibly stressful and things naturally went wrong at times but Samantha kept us updated at every stage, chased our buyer and seller before we'd even asked, and genuinely had an interest in ensuring we exchanged in time. I couldn't fault a single thing Samantha did for us and I would recommend her to absolutely everyone.

Selling of my deceased mothers flat

I found Samantha Newton very professional, who kept me abreast of all the events throughout the sale of the property. She could be contacted at anytime during the working day, and willingly gave advice when required.
I have no hesitation in highly recommending this solicitor.

Excellent service.

I recently used Samantha at Martin Tolhurst Solicitors (Longfield Office) to deal with the sale of my house and the purchase of a new property.

The service provided by Samantha has been outstanding. She has kept me informed throughout the process, I have never needed to chase up anything as she has been so efficient and has replied to any queries promptly.

Her help and advice have been excellent and she has made the whole process as simple as possible smooth throughout.

I would definitely recommend Samantha and Martin Tolhurst Solicitors to anyone needing conveyancing services.

Whenever you speak about housing solicitors it's not often there's a glowing review but I can honestly say this has been the best experience. There were multiple issues across our 4 person chain and Samantha dealt with everything promptly and professionally. I knew if I ever chased her that she had already chased the query ten times herself. Having someone we could trust handle our sale genuinely made an incredibly stressful situation a lot easier. I would want Samantha on any future house purchases and wholeheartedly recommend her. Thank you again.

Spectacular. Brilliant. Super. I will make a special mention of one of the partner solicitors - J Williams, who was in charge of my case. Working with her, things were accurate, on time, as promised and importantly EASY. I had no issues contacting her to ask a question - sometimes related to the case, sometimes related to something related to the case (reflecting on my inexperience)... she still answered everything with great professionalism and sympathy. If you're buying a property and want absolute peace of mind, both in regards to quality and efficiency - go with J Williams.
