Henry, April 2025

“We have purchased flats before with 2 different solicitors who were unable to help us this time. Martin came highly recommended and are we glad. He was very professional in every way: knowledgeable, approachable, he has a friendly manner, very proactive and any concerns or questions we had he was always available and was quick with his response. We thank Martin and RIAA Barker Gillette.”


Leann Paris, March 2025

“From the beginning to the end, the support we have received throughout the case with all the staff members has been far more than we expected, we got kept up to date with every single matter, I have had stressful few years but Charlotte and her team have been very supportive and understanding.. I cannot fault anything, they have always gone far and beyond and always kept us up to date with everything that was happening.”


Marc, March 2025

“RIAA Barker Gillette were engaged to handle a real estate transaction with unusual circumstances. As a non-UK resident unfamiliar with English conveyancing procedures, I felt completely satisfied with the depth of the information and explanations provided, with the creative solution orientated approach to the issues which arose, with the prompt response time and availability of counsel, and with the very efficient compiling of the documentation and the conduct of the completion. Highly professional service all round. I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm.”


Leigh, March 2025

“Instructed Martin on my first property purchase. He was a delight to work with, kept me informed and updated regularly. It was an incredibly smooth and quick process. Couldn’t be happier.”


Mikaela, February 2025

“Martin was brilliant – so professional and personable. He clearly has a lot of expertise, and we always felt were in safe hands. He’s always available to speak on the phone, and is incredibly patient and reassuring. He worked efficiently and quickly to get our sale done in a few months, including over the Christmas/New Year period. Would highly recommend using Martin, and have already referred him to my friends.”



Pal Peshikaj, December 2024

“Compare Ben Marks and Martin Alfreds with MJ and Pippen – the conveyancers dream team. Both Ben and Martin were amazing in assisting us with the completion of our first purchase. Martin was always accessible, understanding and prompt when dealing with our matter. Martin kept us within the loop at every stage of the transaction and always kept us at ease providing confidence throughout. I would highly recommend both Ben and Martin to anybody who require conveyancers to deal with their matters. They are both very professional and go above and beyond to make sure your needs and interests are well looked after. We can’t thank Ben and Martin enough for their terrific work, thank you.”

Jonny Grossman, October 2024

“Martin was everything I would expect a top solicitor to be. He was knowledgeable, responsive, supportive, calm, and overall an excellent professional to work with. I would use Martin and RIAA Barker Gillette again without hesitation. Sharon is also an amazing member of the team that complimented Martin and made the conveyancing experience even easier.”
