House Selling

MJP Law completed our house sale in a very professional and respectful manner with only minimal input required from us (the seller). Both Gabbie & Connie were extremely friendly, helpful and kept us informed about the sale.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending or using MJP Law again.

Excellent service

We had Claire as our named solicitor for the purchase of our first home.
She was brilliant, we had direct contact with Claire and prompt responses to our queries and questions.
Claire was professional, approachable and provided clear legal advice, taking the time to explain each step in the process.
We couldn’t fault our experience with MJP Law.

Flat Purchase

Ours was not a straightforward flat purchase, due to us being Spanish residents. We were very lucky to have Claire Lawson dealing with the purchase. Claire and everyone at MJP Law,
were so friendly and really were helpful, efficient and supportive when it came to dealing with any problems that we had. I would definitely use this company again and would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Client Review

Overall a good experience. Staff are responsive and polite. A couple of last minute realisations regarding awareness of some details of the conveyance process including my personal legal liability in ensuring a family member vacates a property prior to completion were untimely and unsettling. Gabriel and Connie deserve a special mention.

I found my experience at MJP Law pleasant. The receptionist was welcoming. Lucy Haslam, the solicitor who dealt with my will, discussed very clearly all of the areas I needed to be aware of to produce a will to my wishes and peace of mind. Thank you.

Avoid

My experience with MJP Law during my house purchase and sale was disappointing. They were slow, often requested documents I had already provided, and made errors in figures and calculations. Communication was poor, including some queries that were never replied to at all.

There was also a discrepancy between the initial quote (based on Dorset area conveyancing) and final invoice (London), which was frustrating given they knew from the beginning that my transaction was in London. They did not revise the final invoice despite this.

MJP Law also seemed to cause delays in exchanging contracts.

In a separate case they handled for me, things went more smoothly, but billing errors persisted. When calling to make a payment, the amount quoted was sometimes higher than the invoice, and I had to dispute overcharges myself.

If you choose to work with them, I’d recommend double-checking everything, as they were prone to mistakes in my case.
