Honestly wouldn’t use anyone else now!
Carmen was excellent start to finish. She was recommended by my sister who also had a great experience. Very proactive, quick response to emails and spoke directly with Carmen. She advised us throughout the whole process and chased things up without us even having to ask. I’ve had some abysmal experiences in the past selling / buying houses but Carmen made the process simple and efficient, I cannot recommend enough. Thankyou!

Carmen was excellent, very responsive would recommend
I recently had the pleasure of working with Carmen as my solicitor during the purchase of my first home, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the outset, Carmen was incredibly approachable and reassuring, making what initially seemed like a daunting process feel much more manageable.
Her professionalism and attention to detail were second to none. She guided me through every stage of the purchase with clarity and patience, ensuring that I fully understood each part of the process. Carmen was always on hand to address any questions or concerns I had, no matter how small they might have seemed. This level of communication not only eased my anxieties but also made me feel valued as a client.
One of the aspects I most appreciated was Carmen's proactive approach. She anticipated potential issues before they arose and dealt with them efficiently, which significantly smoothed the path to completion. Her thoroughness and dedication undoubtedly prevented many possible delays.
Moreover, Carmen's expertise and deep knowledge of property law were evident throughout. Her ability to explain complex legal terms in an accessible way was particularly beneficial, providing me with confidence and clarity as we moved forward.
Overall, Carmen went above and beyond to ensure my first home-buying experience was as seamless as possible. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a diligent, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring solicitor. Thank you, Carmen, for making this milestone in my life so positive and stress-free!

House Purchase
Overall I was more than satisfied with the service I received. The only point I would make is I would of appreciated a little more personal service. Other than a mix up on my part downloading something so rang to double check, I haven't spoken to a single person. All emails were responded to and the whole process went smoothly, but buying a house is a big, nervous, sometimes scarey process for the buyer and a quick 30sec phone call to explain things would of made things a little less so, not just a somewhat colder email.

Excellent, smooth service
I used Ellion Maher LLP for conveyancing (I was the seller of a property) and they made everything really smooth and easy for me. Their requests and documentation were very clear and Carmen was always courteous and as helpful as possible. My best experience with solicitors doing conveyancing and this counts as my third time doing a similar process.
Thank you very much,
Mrs. Katherine Hey

Carmen was fantastic from start to finish. No question was ever too much of a problem for her, and we would receive regular updates throughout the process of moving house. I would definitely recommend her to others
