Excellent service

Having both my brother and I in South Africa must have been quite difficult at times for Sarah but she handled it with great aplomb and kept us up to date at all times. It was a pleasure to deal with her and her company.

House sale and purchase 2025

To start with I was unsure whether to use Martin Tolhurst Solicitors as they were recommended by the estate agent, I was buying through. However, their quote for the purchase and sale was slightly lower than competitors so thought it was worth instructing them. I am so glad I did as they have exceeded my expectation. they have been there at the end of the phone and answered all queries pleasantly and professionally. It has made the whole process less stressful. I did not feel the need to keep phoning to find out how things were progressing, I was kept informed throughout. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.

Application for Probate

Having used Martin Tolhurst before they were my go to for dealing with a grant of probate after the passing of my daughter.
From our first meeting Charlotte was friendly and professional understanding what a difficult time this was.She explained in terms that even I could understand exactly what applying for probate entailed and how long things could take.(This turned out to be almost a year) Throughout the process I was kept informed at all times any emails or phone calls were dealt with promptly and quickly and I was never made to feel as if I was being a nuisance.
Thank you Charlotte for making difficult time very easy

Helped us purchase our first house!

Martin Tolhurst were recommended through our estate agent Wards.
I am very impressed with the service we received. As first time buyers, myself and my partner had a lot of questions and a fair few worries! Samantha was there to answer all our queries and put us at ease. They have made the first time buying process easier and we would recommend their services.

Application for probate

Martin Tolhurst have always been my go to solicitors.
I have recently used them for the application of Grant of Probate following the recent passing of a close friend. From my initial phone call with Paul Rothwell and a follow up meeting with both Paul and Charlotte Hatcher, they made the whole process as easy as possible until probate was subsequently received.

Charlotte, who dealt with all the administration, provided me with lots of help, advise and support throughout. She kept me updated throughout and answered all my questions in a timely manner. I found her to be very professional, courteous and respectful.

I don't have any hesitation at all in recommending both Paul and Charlotte. Thank you again both for all your help.

Sale of Barn

Jane at the Longfield office of Martin Tolhurst, along with her team, were excellent - professional, knowledgeable and always helpful and available. Our sale had a few issues, partly due to HMLR having the wrong name on the Title Deed. Jane dealt with that issue as well as several others that removed barriers to our completion

Fantastic service

Samantha was an absolute pleasure to work with. Very responsive, helpful and was always one step ahead of any queries I had. Even though the process was stressful and our original deal fell through Samantha was very supportive and couldn’t have done any more for us and helped us to get the transaction over the line in the end.

Lucy Benning was amazing when needing specific advice regarding writing a new will. She advised the best way forward and completed the instructions in an exemplary and efficient manner. I would highly recommend Lucy.

We were recommended to Martin Tolhurst by our Estate Agents, Wards. Although it took a long time from offer to completion to sell our property, the estate agent and solicitor kept us advised of progress and more than happy to give them 5 stars

I rang over a week ago and spoke to the receptionist about a conveyancing quote. I had left my details but got no response. Lucky I found out early on what they are like. I tried a couple of other solicitors and I found them efficient. Its always best to shop around!

I never recommend unless totally impressed, Jane Williams & her team are excellent! Having completed the sale of a probate property that I was responsible for. This being a chain of 4 properties, ending with this one.

I can defiantly recommend this company 110% ! They are excellent , I have every confidence in recommending this Company.
