Lease extension

Contacted my property landlord and obtained a figure to extend the lease on my flat in early April 2025. Then consulted Money Saving Expert website regards finding legal representation 15/4/2025. It provided a list of trusted solicitors including Martin Tolhurst.
I registered on the ALEP site and subsequently received a number of responses. Andrew Ashley-Edwards who is a partner at Martin Tolhurst solicitors rang me 16/4 and was very helpful to the point I decided to ask his firm to act on my behalf in the process.
I was then passed on to his colleague Surinder Ruprai and by 23rd June the lease extension has been completed and I now have peace of mind. Surinder has been prompt, approachable, professional, friendly throughout. No hidden charges, no asking for forms to be resent because they have been lost. No struggling to remember who you are in conversations, no sense that your bothering them. Its been as pleasant and pain free an experience as I could have possibly hoped for. If I ever sell my property I will ask Surinder / Martin Tolhurst to act as conveyancers and I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Divorce

Grateful to Hannah and the staff at Martin Tolhurst. Started divorce proceedings as a LIP in Jan 2024, instructed Hannah at start of 2025 as needed legal counsel. Hannah talked me through each stage and never served me away from what I was asking for. Emails have been acknowledged and replied to, calls have been replied to and the constant worry as to outcome was not needed as we were successful in court.
High recommend.

Amazing service, would definitely recommend.

Martin Tolhurst solicitors assisted me when my marriage broke down, helping me to finalise a consent order, as well as my divorce. Hannah and her team were so supportive and helpful, in what was a very stressful time for myself and my children. Hannah especially went above and beyond to give me the best advice, and ultimately helped me settle the marriage finances and divorce, without the need for drawn out, costly court proceedings. I was updated at every stage, and responses were very efficient. I am forever grateful.

Kirsty is brilliant

I can't recommend Kirsty enough for conveyancing. Even though the whole process took an entire year due to constant delays, she was fantastic throughout. She was always happy to help with any questions and never seemed bothered by the hold-ups.
What really impressed me was her professionalism combined with a really personal approach. Despite the long timeframe, she stuck to her original quote, which was a huge relief. Plus, she was always so accessible – she always answered the phone whenever I called. If you're looking for a conveyancer who is both highly competent and genuinely cares about their clients, Kirsty is the one.

Gemma Nie was always available and approachable. Took all of our calls and was extremely helpful. An asset to the firm and should be recognised by her colleagues. Sadly the same cannot be said for other colleagues.

We recently used Martin Tolhurst Solicitors for our house purchase and had the pleasure of working with Gemma Nie. She was incredibly professional, efficient, and always kept us informed throughout the process. Gemma made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. We’re very grateful for her support and would highly recommend both her and the firm to anyone looking for reliable and attentive legal services.
