John was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. He was always on hand to help with queries, responsive and personable. He had a calmness that put me at ease during the stressful moments of the purchase. I couldn't have been happier with the service I received and nothing ever seemed too much trouble. Thanks John and your team for being so fantastic!

I could not recommend Spencer Skuse & Potter more. Many conveyancing firms in my experience are slow to progress your transaction and difficult to get hold of once instructed. This was the complete opposite with Spencer Skuse & Potter, with Alex Oakley (along with his brother Andrew) providing me with a top class service throughout. They never needed to be chased and dealt with everything very proactively.

I was also impressed how they dealt with various hiccups pragmatically, keeping me informed at every juncture. 10/10 and will now always use this firm for any conveyancing/property related legal work, along with recommending them to anyone I know who needs such services.

Poor communication. I would not pay unless all work completed. Commercial lease still not registered with land registry 4 years on!

Would highly recommend. Super responsive, fast-moving, and reliable solicitors. We used Spencer Skuse & Potter for our latest house sale and they were magnificent. I have used a few solicitors over the years, but John Potter and his team have truly been the best.

John is outstanding. He helped us complete on our house and we've recommended him to family and friends. Responds promptly and makes things a lot less stressful when buying a house. Thanks John!

Andrew and his assistant were absolutely wonderful helping buy my new home. They were always at the end of the phone to answer any questions I had or explain anything that I wasn't sure of. My emails were replied to within minutes and I cannot but whole heatedly recommend them.

Would highly recommend John Potter when going through any house purchase. Really quick to respond to queries and keeps you well updated throughout the whole process.

I would not recommend them. Graeme Skuse seems to think that if a deposit is protected late then a section 21 is valid. This is not true, if a landlord protects a deposit more than 30 days after receipt and wishes to issue a section 21 the deposit must be returned.

Would highly recommend them. Graeme was such an amazing solicitor and helped process the sale of our house so quickly and professionally especially in this difficult time. He was always there to answer our calls (which is a very rare find with some solicitors - who you can never get a hold of) and no question was too silly to ask.

Andrew Oakley from SSP was my solictor on property purchase. It was my first purchase so was a bit daunted by the whole thing, but Andrew was always available to answer all my questions and provided a fantastic service. Can't recommend enough!

We have used Spencer Skuse Potter on a number of assignments with varying specialism both in property, conveyancing and general litigation. Dealing with John Potter specifically, he has continued to impress and works with great efficiency and consideration, explaining the process and updating throughout. With the most recent assignment we were working towards a very difficult deadline, however John went above and beyond to ensure we achieved this. I would have absolute confidence in recommending Spencer Skuse Potter and without doubt they are my first port of call with any legal matters.

The first and only conveyancing solicitor who has ever impressed me enough that I decided to use them a second time. John Potter is really helpful and patient. Prices are reasonable. Looking forward to a long and beneficial relationship as long as the great service continues! Update 11 Months on: John continues to do an excellent job for us. We have closed several property transactions this year and he is always quick to reply queries, honest and generally on the ball. Competitively priced is always a bonus. I have used lots of solicitors over the years and John is head and shoulders above most.
