I highly recommend John Donkin Solicitors for their outstanding service. Throughout my dealings with them, their communication was excellent, and they consistently went above and beyond to provide a personal touch. I am especially grateful to John Donkin, who navigated every challenge with expertise and made the entire process stress-free.

Always excellent service.

Third time we've used John Donkins for conveyancing.
Never had any problems whatsoever.
Excellent communication with all involved parties.
Always someone available to talk to and emails answered immediately.
From agreeing sale to completing only took 5 weeks!
Highly recommend.

First Time House Purchase

We cannot praise Hannah & the team at John Donkins Solicitors enough.

They were incredibly supportive and informative throughout the purchase of our first house.

It was a little bit of a stressful process, especially towards the end, however Hannah was brilliant and we would highly recommend. Thank you very much, we are so happy in our new house :)

Perfect

This was our second time using John Donkin and once again they exceeded expectations.

We were kept informed about the progress of our house sale/purchase from the outset and any questions we had were addressed in a very timely manner.

It’s safe to say there are a lot of unresponsive/slow conveyancer’s out there, but Victoria at John Donkin is definitely not one of them. Don’t waste your time anywhere else :)
