We were under serious time pressure after pulling out of a previous house chain. Lewis Pepper was incredible throughout—fast, efficient, and truly supportive at every step.
He treated our situation with urgency and care, gave clear, practical advice, and made the whole process far less stressful. We had his direct contact and he was always approachable.
Absolutely top-notch service—thank you, Lewis!

We found a property to buy when we had only six weeks left on our tenancy—and no option for extension as the landlord was returning to the property—we had to move quickly to secure a new home. It was a challenging and uncertain time for us.
I can honestly say that Lewis Pepper was a lifeline throughout this process. From the moment we engaged with him, he was incredibly supportive, proactive, and reassuring. Every interaction with Lewis felt more like speaking with a trusted family member than a solicitor. He worked tirelessly, leaving no stone unturned to make sure everything progressed as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Lewis was always one step ahead, acted with urgency and precision, and still managed to keep things very cost-effective. His advice was thoughtful, honest, and perfectly tailored to the tough circumstances we were facing.
Thanks to his dedication, we successfully completed on time—and with a level of confidence and calm we would not have had without him. Words truly can’t express how grateful we are for everything he did. Lewis, thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond, especially when things get tough, I cannot recommend Lewis highly enough.

From start to finish the service from Rachel was smooth and efficient. She made things clear to understand and kept me informed with developments all the way through the process. She contacted me regularly with updates and responded quickly to any queries I had.
I would highly recommend Nelson's Solicitors and would definitely use the company again.

Ash from Nelsons was excellent throughout the whole process. He was always easy to contact and replied to any questions in a timely manner. We did have a few issues with the purchase but Ash made sure these were dealt with and explained exactly what was happening. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend both Nelsons and Ash to anybody!

I discovered from an anonymous letter that my father, whom I had not seen in over 65 years had died. I acquired a copy of his death and probate certificate.
I contacted Nelsons who were helping me on another matter for help to get a copy if there was one of my father's Will, as I had no knowledge how to go about it. I was put in contact with Ronny, we had an initial online meeting where Ronny laid all the bare facts out and potential cost and set out what action Nelsons would initially take to get a copy of the Will and then go from there as to what action I wanted to take.
At no stage was I coerced to take action I did not want to take, I have learnt a lot of information along the way. I am at a point where I do not need to take the matter any further and have informed Ronny of my decision.
Ronny has at each stage kept me notified of the progress of the case and cost and the potential cost if I take certain action.

We were recommended by our housebuilder to use Nelsons as our conveyancer for the purchase of our first property and we had an amazing experience.
Lisa was always on hand, whether it be at the end of the phone or email to help with any questions.
Lisa was very thorough and prompt with her explanations, which was great as first time buyers, as we did have a lot of questions!
Even if Lisa wasn't in, she would give us warning and reassure us that someone else at the firm would be able to help in her absence, and they did just that in just as efficient of a manner.

I was guided through the conveyance process to purchase my first house by Shoaib Mirza, quite frankly he was excellent. His attention to detail, prompt and thorough communication, and guidance was of the highest order. This was not the easiest of deals to pull off with many hurdles to jump through. Going into the process I was sceptical due to friends and family having poor experiences at other firms, however with Nelsons I couldn't have asked for anything more, I would definitely recommend them to anyone going forward.
Thank you Shoaib and Nelsons Solicitors!
A representative from Nelsons Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 30 May, 2025:
Dear Joseph, Thank you very much for taking the time to write this review on the service and advice that you have received from Shoaib. It is greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Nelsons

I felt compelled to write a review after Trevor Scott supported both the sale of our (now former) property, and purchase of our dream home. When we first spoke, Trevor made it clear that he would offer a service far beyond that of your standard conveyancing firm, and he wasn't wrong.
We had a complex, lengthy chain and a tricky purchase to navigate. We also had a few last minute curve balls, which Trevor handled superbly and resolved quickly, attempting to minimise the stress of my wife and I. Despite this, we engaged Trevor and completed early March (which allowing two weeks where noting happened for Christmas is bloody good going!).
Yes we paid a bit more money to secure Trevor's services, but I can honestly say that something in the chain would've gone wrong and our sale/purchase fallen through had it not have been for Trevor. I'd like to also thank him for dealing with my (many) meltdowns when things went wrong, and exchange dates pushed slightly to the right...
Top man, Trevor - thanks again.

We have used Melanie Bridgens service's on 2 seperate occasions. Both with the best outcome we could have asked for with regards our children.
Melanie is very informative, listens and understood our position. She is knowledgeable and explained where we stood in a way we could understand.
We would definitely recommend Melanie and if we find oursleves in the unfortunate position of needing a solicitor for our children again Melanie would be our 1st point of call.
Thank you Melanie.
