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!

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.

Trust me when you read this - use anyone but Merritts for your house sale/purchase. We’re so mentally exhausted from the experience that we can’t even bring ourselves to write a full review. In summary -
- Zero proactive communication: we didn’t hear from our solicitor for the first two weeks, and after that it took on average 3 emails before we got a reply. Many of our questions were unanswered.
- Professionalism: everyone at Merritts that we dealt with, seemed like they couldn’t get rid of you quickly enough. Replies bordered on rude, and despite multiple promises to have a call back from our solicitor ‘as a matter of urgency’, she claimed to have never been advised this.
- Had to do alot of the work ourselves to keep the process moving, including taking it upon ourselves to get our searches returned early, despite being told this wouldn’t be possible. This was made more difficult by the fact that we were given the wrong company name to chase.
Strongly advise looking for alternatives. Please read the other reviews of Merritts before considering using them.

I regret to state that my experience with your firm has been thoroughly disappointing and unsatisfactory. I strongly advise against engaging your services.
Based on the solicitor assigned to my case, I found myself in a position where I wished I had never entrusted you with my legal matters. Your firm’s response times were excessively long, necessitating repeated follow-ups.
I raised an issue with the contract, which I was assured would be rectified at a later stage. However, this assurance proved to be unfounded, and subsequent requests for assistance have been met with silence. As a result, I am now deprived of funds that rightfully should have been mine.
In my experience with numerous solicitors, your firm has unequivocally been the worst. This is a matter of severe concern and negligence, which has had a direct adverse financial impact on me.

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.
