Gabrielle, March 2023

“Martin Alfreds and the team have been exceptional. Steering my husband and I through what was a truly draining process. Martin was always available to speak to us, giving reassurance where needed and honest advice throughout. Martin’s humour shone through and was always a light relief when stress levels were elevated. Highly recommend instructing Martin and the conveyancing team at RIAA Barker Gillette.”

“I had a seamless and very professional service throughout. Martin and his team were amazing and I would highly recommend their services. I can honestly say that I have found in Martin someone who I can trust to get things done and he really looked after us throughout which would normally be a stressful process. If I could give 10 stars I would!!! First-class service!!!”

“Martin Alfreds handled the sale of my property magnificently considering all the ridiculous and time-wasting questions put to him by the purchaser’s lawyer. His patience in handling the extensive and unnecessary questions and issues raised by them was amazing and considering I have had to deal with this myself from a position of being an expat resident in Spain with the help of my husband was exhausting. Well done, Martin!!”

“The experience of RIAA Barker Gillette (and more specifically of Kane…) managing the sale of our home during a particularly challenging period in the property market was second to none. At each step of the way we’ve had all the support, information & proactive communication that we could have needed.”

Lizzie, November 2022

“I’ve recently bought my first home and literally could not have done it without Martin and Hanna at RIAA Barker Gillette. Every staff member I corresponded with was helpful, knowledgeable and patient with my lack of understanding of legalese. One lawyer even called me whilst on holiday to clarify something I was confused about. As a company, they went above and beyond and are so reasonably priced, I will be recommending them for years to come. You’re in safe hands with them!”

“I found the service I received from my Solicitor [Michael Davies] outstanding at every step. The situation was complex and the level of experience and knowledge provided served only to enable the experience to be both successful and bearable at times.”

“I have been a client of Michael Davies for many years and whenever I have a problem I can always turn to him for advice. If it is not within his remit then he will refer me to the most suitable person who can advise me.”
