First Time Buyer

DTM made buying my first home completely stress free, I was kept up to date at all times and they replied to all my questions and queries super quickly. Their advice was professional but also friendly and they reassured me on matters that I was not familiar with.
I would highly recommend.

Helpful & Reassuring

When I received a settlement agreement from my employer with no prior warning or explanation, I needed support quickly. Melissa was reassuring, helpful, and patient - I hadn’t needed any legal advice before and she ensured to take time to explain everything to me and made me feel so at ease at each step. It was a difficult time but made much easier with a solicitor like Melissa who was always honest and gave great advice. Thank you so much.

Selling and purchasing a property

I cannot recommend Emily Venables highly enough! Throughout the entire process, she was incredibly helpful, professional, and always accessible. No matter how busy she was, she always picked up the phone or promptly called back, ensuring I never felt out of the loop. She consistently went above and beyond by chasing the other parties and ensuring everything stayed on track. Her legal knowledge is exceptional, and she explained everything clearly, making the process so much smoother. On top of that, she was always friendly, approachable, and a pleasure to work with. Without a doubt, she is the best solicitor I’ve ever worked with! Highly recommend!

Every interaction I have with Michael impresses me. He is always on the end of the phone, helpful and polite. He is incredibly knowledgeable too and I really feel that I can trust him. I cannot recommend Michael highly enough.

Emily and Kate have both been fantastic!! I have sold 3 properties and purchased 1 with them across 2023 and 2024 and every transaction has run smooth! Their attention to detail and enthusiasm to move cases forward in a efficient manner is unbeatable. I am a mortgage adviser and work alongside conveyancing solicitors on a daily basis with my job but I can honestly say, hand on heart that I have never come across a better duo than these two. Keep up the great work you two! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
