GBPromised one thing and delivered another I had a disappointing experience when instructing Elliot Mather for the sale of my property but am not commenting on their ability to perform the legal work for a property sale to a decent standard. Prior to instruction, I discussed my requirement to be protected from legal costs in the case that the buyer withdrew from the sale and left me liable to pay hundreds of pounds in fees. I was assured that I could buy an insurance policy to pay the Elliot Mather fees in the event that the sale collapsed. I instructed them and received details of the proposed insurance policy, which would have left me liable to pay potentially hefty fees if the buyer pulled out of their purchase. I don't see why changing the names of a buyer(s) can cost hundreds of pounds as I was happy to continue with Elliot Mather if the sale collapsed and so they would ultimately get their full fee. Have now gone elsewhere and got a 'no sale no fee' agreement with a firm that are moving things very quickly at the moment. Clarification: further to your response to my review, I was given a quote whilst on the phone to your employee and was told that a policy for £66 would fully meet my needs. Your email follow up quoted £80 for a policy that did not meet my needs. I advise you to be honest and transparent in your response to reviews!

GBBrilliant solicitors I'm a first time buyer and the horror stories I'd heard about buying a house nearly put me off but I can honestly say the service I received from Lucy at Elliot Mather was first class. I completed within seven weeks of reserving my house and that is all down to the hard work, clear guidance and endless knowledge that Lucy provided me with! No question was too silly to ask and I'm just so grateful. Thank you so much!

GBI used elliot mathers some time ago… I used elliot mathers some time ago and they were supposed to provide free in duty service. I never signed a contract as they were in duty on the day yet they pursued me for 3 years without any contract or proof of an agreement and took me back to court for £500. Pure extortionists. I wouldn't recommend approaching or ever using their services

GBExcellent service The whole team at Elliot Mather were excellent, particularly Katie, Andrew and Sarah. I was kept fully informed of all of the developments and there was always someone on hand to answer any questions I had. The team made what could be a very stressful experience go very smoothly. I'd recommend Elliot Mather to anyone buying or selling property and will definitely use them again.

GBWe have just moved into our new home… We have just moved into our new home after a very stressful 5 months. We cannot praise Annie Hobson enough. She was extremely friendly, efficient and professional. It is often difficult to find a good solicitor but Annie was exceptional. We would also like to thank her assistant Kelly for working hard behind the scenes. Pauline and Chris Watkins.
