Thank you!

John Robson dealt with my purchase this year and was absolutely amazing! I don’t think there was a day when he didn’t work on my file. We were updated regularly and provided realistic turnaround times. I wanted to complete for the 31st - I don’t know how but John managed to achieve this. The fees were lower than other quotes we received. I would instruct John in the future for any conveyancing needs.

Sale and purchase

John and Milners have been amazing. We didn’t have an easy journey. We sold our house and then pulled out of two purchases following issues with what we were going for. This created additional work for John and his team. We eventually found our ‘forever home’. But again some complications with deeds etc but John worked his way through it all for us. Answering our endless queries via wattsapp as we had no phone coverage, but following up with comprehensive emails. He managed to get it all done before the dreaded stamp duty raise which saved us thousands. A very friendly local firm which provided us with an amazing service. We’ve already recommended Milners to a friend who is progressing well through their purchase. Thanks to John and the team.

Great experience

The team at Milners (Anthony, Rachel, Barnaby) completed the conveyancing for our first house purchase. The team were proactive, friendly and great to deal with. Often answered the phone when we called. The other side were much slower than Milners, and the team were well ahead of what needed doing. Whenever we called or emailed for an update, the team knew what was going on and kept us up to speed with what needed to happen next. Highly recommend them.

John completed our conveyancing when we sold our property. It was never going to be simple as we live in Canada and secondly it was a listed building but throughout John has dealt with the whole process with total professionalism.

Communication & advise were on the ball even when I’m sure we drove him up the wall with our constant flow of emails and questions, but he got us there in the end

Thank you and would highly recommend

Milners helped my mother with the sale of her home and the purchase of her new home in Harrogate. Throughout the process, our contact, John Robson, was available for calls and responded promptly to emails with responses to all the questions we had. There was one occasion when our buyer's solicitor was holding up the whole process but we were able to overcome the hurdles through open and constructive communications aided by John and his colleagues.
