Sylvia Whitehouse, July 2023

“I am very grateful for the helpful and efficient way in which [Laura Thurlow] guided me from start to finish through all the stages of buying my house. She was very prompt in getting back to me when I had questions and worries and would absolutely recommend her. Laura helped me previously with equity release and both experiences have had positive outcomes. I appreciated particularly that I could rely on her to get back to me quickly and resolve issues that came up. Excellent experience.”

Petra, June 2023

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Martin Alfreds at Barker Gillette for his excellent service in handling the conveyancing for my recent property sale and purchase.

Having used solicitors in the past and not having a great experience, the whole process was a pleasant surprise. I was immediately put at ease by Martin’s friendly and professional manner. He took the time to explain the process to me in detail and answered all of my questions in a clear and concise way.

Martin was always available to answer my calls or emails, and he and the team always responded promptly. They kept me updated on the progress of the sale and purchase throughout, and they were always happy to go the extra mile to help me.

I was particularly impressed with Martin’s attention to detail. He made sure that all of the paperwork was completed correctly and were always on the lookout for any potential problems.

I would not hesitate to recommend Martin to anyone who is looking for a conveyancing solicitor. RIAA Barker Gillette is professional, efficient, and friendly. I am very grateful for their help in making my property sale and purchase a smooth and stress-free experience.”

Overall, I was very happy with the service I received from Martin and the team at RIAA Barker Gillette. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a conveyancing solicitor.”
