Solicitor review

4 WEEKS from acceptance of offer to exchange of contracts on a house purchase…UNBELIEVABLE. We complete on our new home on 16/12/24 and will be in for Christmas. We were told to expect 10-12 weeks at the outset. Milners Solicitors were great throughout the process. My family has worked with them and Mr John Robson a few times now and I would recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home in North Yorkshire.

Another perfect job!

We don’t move home very often, but when we do, John Robson and his team have always been there for us all the way through the transaction. Nothing is too much trouble, and John’s client care is second to none.
I cannot recommend his service highly enough. Thank you John and Rachel.

Excellent service !

A BIG shout out to the Milnes' firm and in particular John Robson, for their efficient service.
Our purchase was fraught with complications, delays and much back and forth but John and his team stuck by us, all the way and delivered in every aspect.
We thank them for their patience, persistence and legal advice thought out the process. We had full trust in them in their ability to deliver and the way the professional unwavering manner they handled our 'case'.
I fully recommend John Robson and his team at Milner's.

I’d like to thank Danielle for her supportive and professional advice whilst dealing with my case. It is not easy going through employment disputes but it was made far easier with the support from Danielle during a really stressful time. I would highly recommend her and the services provided at Milners. Thank you again.

Good job

Went quite well.
First time I've used a solicitor for 18 yrs. So I was quite out of touch with the selling house process. I had a few problems with the on line form filling ( this is because I only use a phone as my computer) ( I should really have gone into the office to do this ) However I managed in the end . It took 4 months for the sale to go through ( that's without a chain ) But I believe this is normal .

Professional & Friendly Service

As a family, we have used John Robson to handle various property transactions for us and I must say, there is a reason we would never use anyone else. Throughout the years we have worked with John he has always been professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable when overcoming any issues due to his invaluable experience. Thank you John - it is always a pleasure to deal with you.

Poor client-relationship management, off-loads bureaucracy to client

Repeated instructions to this company led to repeated paperwork by juniors as though I was a new client with each instruction. Inefficient and bureaucratic with poor continuity in their client-relationship management, likely because it reduces the bureaucratic burden on them at the cost of increasing effort by the client. A simple reorganisation of their instruction-procedures in favour of clients’ interests would make a difference. This is a common failing in lawyers who don’t understand the importance of client-relationships, as I experienced in over a decade's work in forensic medicine. The lawyer himself is pleasant and effective.

A big thankyou to John and Rachel at Milners Solicitors in Harrogate. They provided the conveyancing for us recently, and were absolutely fantastic. Extremely professional, but at the same time warm people to deal with. Sensible pricing and obviously hugely experienced in all things involved in a house sale. Would not hesitate to recommend them, and hopefully use their services again in the future. Thankyou! J & K.
