Fabulous!

Lucy was absolutely fabulous from day one. We used Lucy for a house sale and house purchase. The whole process took us over 10 months as we had two chains that collapsed. Lucy remained professional throughout and kept us thoroughly updated. We would without doubt use her again and highly recommend her to others!

I contacted Merritts Solicitors regarding a personal injury claim. I was given professional and efficient advice from start to finish.

I would recommend them to everyone.

For the first time I can recommend an amazing agency. I can’t thank you enough for the support and quick sale of my property. The communication and team was lovely. I was not stressed at all, they kept me in the loop all the time.

Merritt a Solicitors helped through my Mortgage and for the completion of my auction house purchase. The completion had to be done within 56 days of agreement to buy. They did a fantastic job, even sorting out mistakes that had happened with my mortgage application.

Claire was fantastic, she kept me up to date every step of the way and even rectified certain issues weeks before I had even realised. She phoned to update with the bigger details. Would recommend every single time.

Amazing solicitors firm. They were able to get more compensation than another firm had advised I would get for my injury.

I was always kept up to date, and the service received was friendly and kind

I absolutely recommend Merritts to anyone who needs legal help.

Thank you.
