Rachel and John at Milners were exceptionally prompt and clear with all of the steps required to buy my first home. They replied quickly to all of my questions and concerns and got me through to the finish line with ease.
The service Milners offers was also cheaper than other solicitors in the area and we closed in just under three months.
I’m very happy with everything they have done for me.

Thank you for your review William, wishing you every happiness in your new home! We will pass your kind words onto John and Rachel.

John has handled all of our home moves, and those of our family members, for 25 years. He is a truly personable, professional, approachable, and highly competent solicitor, and his attention to detail is exceptional.
It was an absolute pleasure working with John again on our recent move. After years of relying on your expertise, we continue to be impressed by how you consistently make what could be a stressful experience feel incredibly easy and seamless.
Thank you for another stress-free move; we truly appreciate your and Rachel Knight's outstanding service and unwavering support.

Wish everyone could be as efficient and professional as John Robson. Communication with my purchaser’s solicitor was extremely difficult and I don’t think this sale would have happened without his hard work and perseverance. I was kept fully informed at every stage of the process.
I would definitely recommend John and his team if you are considering buying or selling a property.
Excellent work ethic - thank you 😊

John for over 35 years has handled our home moves 23 of them! Also our two sons home moves, he is outstanding customer centric, and his attention to detail is exceptional. We would never use anyone else, he and Rachel Knight have always gone above and beyond to make our move as less stress as possible. Thank you.

John completed our conveyancing when we sold our property. It was never going to be simple as we live in Canada and secondly it was a listed building but throughout John has dealt with the whole process with total professionalism.
Communication & advise were on the ball even when I’m sure we drove him up the wall with our constant flow of emails and questions, but he got us there in the end
Thank you and would highly recommend

Milners helped my mother with the sale of her home and the purchase of her new home in Harrogate. Throughout the process, our contact, John Robson, was available for calls and responded promptly to emails with responses to all the questions we had. There was one occasion when our buyer's solicitor was holding up the whole process but we were able to overcome the hurdles through open and constructive communications aided by John and his colleagues.
