Went to see Zain after buying a car that up on me 4 months after purchase, was told by the seller (Evans halshaw) it would be £12,000 for a new engine using them, Zain looked through all the details and after a few letters to the seller he got me practically a full refund with ease.
Easy to talk to very good communication throughout and got the outcome I needed.
Can’t thank him enough.

Should have completed three weeks ago, but Talbots have been sitting on reviewing basic information for that long. Did not respond to calls or emails during that time. When they did respond, they gave no indication as to the reason for the delay, no timescales or next steps; simply provided a one liner “we are reviewing and will get back to you in due course”. Whats worse is, they had already had this information before and there was no real reason for the request. It wasn’t a blocker to the purchase. Were they intentionally stalling? And if so why? Shocking.

Talbots have handled all my family's affairs for decades. They have just completed the sale of my late parents home. The process has been handled with great care and been stress free. Talbots have provided good communication to us as executors throughout, providing support and advice where needed. Would recommend Talbots for all areas of legal advice from wills, trusts, powers of attorney to property conveyancing.

Talbots was a good experience. Friendly, efficient and achieved exchange on the date that was set. They helped me fill in a form on the phone as I had lots of questions and needed assistance.
They sent documents quickly and responded on email quick too.

They were fast with the process but the legal fee was too expensive. They gave me a charge at the early stage of the process but at the end of the process I was charge close to 1000 pounds extra

We have recently used to Talbot to complete the sale of our house. They went from offer to completion in 4 weeks! Not only were they incredibly efficient, they have been so responsive on email and calls and no question was too silly. They have made what can be really stressful event very smooth sailing - thank you!

Our experience with Talbots Law — particularly with Manisha — was incredibly disappointing from start to finish. I want to emphasise that we arnt too fussed about who our solicitors are usually, just as long as the process progresses and we get clear instructions and communication. We have in the past gone for big firms, chain firms, solo practitioners, small firms, expensive firms. We decided to go with Talbots Law because Connells recommended them, we should have gone with a local firm but a mixture of laziness and trust led to us just agreeing to go with Talbots Law, a decision we regretted very early on, due to a growing silence from Talbot Law, but we missed the opportunity to cancel and just stuck with the process and believed they were working hard in the background and kidded ourselves into thinking the silence and occasional formulated updates were good signs.
There were several serious oversights throughout the process. Most notably, there was a complete lack of personalised communication for the first three months. All responses came from Manisha’s team member, Zarrah — and even those only came after we repeatedly chased for updates.
Key failures included:
Not establishing or understanding our target completion date.
Failing to identify that the seller had entered a chain, which only became apparent after significant delays.
Repeatedly failing to offer an estimated completion date, despite our frequent and reasonable requests — something we’ve never experienced in any other transaction.
A lack of transparency throughout the process, particularly around the realistic likelihood of missing the end-of-financial-year completion — something we started raising concerns about as early as February.
Despite us pushing clearly for a March completion, this was only relayed to the sellers in the final week of March — far too late to act on. At this point, Manisha then went on annual leave, during what were the last working days where completion was still possible, she was on leave over the last day which the banks would accept applications to release the money for the completion. Manisha knew this and yet didn't tell us she was going on leave, just told us we d push for completion for the end of the month.
When we raised our alarm and concern, when realising Manisha was on leave it was actually Manisha’s manager who stepped in and took the process seriously. She began combing through the file and between her, us and connels helped uncover the crucial detail that the sellers were now in a chain which was absolutely detrimental and was perhaps the biggest reason for all the delays. That level of basic oversight should never have been missed.
On completion day, we were informed of the exchange by the estate agents, who already had the keys at that point — not Talbots Law. By the time we heard from Manisha’s team, we had already collected the keys some time after. That, to us, summed up the lack of coordination and attentiveness we’d experienced throughout.
We’ve had no direct contact from Manisha since the exchange of contracts. This is just expected seeing as we had No welcome to Talbots Law, no regular check-ins — just silence except right at the last stage. She did suggest a phone call to discuss our concerns, which Zarrah went on to book, but Manisha missed the call and never followed up.
We were never pushy or unreasonable. It was only when March arrived — with time running out — that we began to demand clear answers and action. Between us, Connells, the sellers, and Manisha’s boss, the process was finally turned around. But none of that credit lies with Manisha.
This was not a cheap or casual transaction — it was the purchase of our home. Talbots Law’s failure to communicate, take ownership, and provide basic client care made the experience far more stressful than it ever needed to be.
We cannot recommend Talbots Law based on this experience, but looking at the other reviews there appears to be some fantastic solicitors at Talbots Law and I don't want to put them in the same basket.

My husband and I would like to thank Sean and Kelly for the fantastic service. They were extremely efficient and we managed to complete the purchase on our house within 6 weeks. We cannot recommend them enough and would definitely use them again in the future!

I collaborated with Talbots Law Solicitors (my lawyer was Munveer Bagrah) for the sale of my flat and would highly recommend. He was quick and efficient.
I was always made aware of the progress of the sale and enquiries. Overall a very good experience and would definitely recommend and use their service again in the future.

Overall the sale of my house went smoothly, but in my experience of using talbots law, the only correspondence I have from them comes at the end of the working day, or even worse, late on a Friday, which gives you no time to respond the same day meaning the whole process takes longer than it should.
