Samantha’s support in getting my first housing property

Had the privilege to work with Samantha Newton as my solicitor in buying my first home.
Being a first time buyer, it was so difficult understanding all the terms and lots of paper works and steps in buying a home, I was always sending emails for more clarifications and asking questions.

Samatha always replies as soon as possible with more simplified information for my understanding.

Thank you Samantha for the efficient professional support and advice I got through all the process.

Very helpful and supportive service

Sarah Begley was the solicitor who helped my husband and myself sort out our dear friends will and probate. She explained in detail what the process would be and how long it would take. Sarah was able to help us with a difficult situation and dealt with the problem quickly and efficiently. Nothing was too much bother for her and she kept us informed every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Sarah Begley and Martin Tolhurst solicitors.

Probate application and estate distribution

We instructed Sarah from Martin Tolhurst to deal with the application for Probate and estate distribution following my father-in-law's passing earlier this year. We have been very happy with Sarah's work and support. She, and her colleagues, have been very helpful through the whole of this process. Estate distribution has now been completed and we are more than happy with the service provided.
