We recently used Mackrell for the purchase of our first home. We couldn't have chosen a better firm for our first house purchase. The service was exemplary and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to future clients.

I have recently worked with Guvvy & Rob on a sell side transaction. I couldn't recommend them enough. There was a high level of support throughout the transaction, and they provided invaluable advice, from instruction through to completion, resulting in a successful sale.

Natalie sorted out my Will I cannot recommend her highly enough she is like an encyclopaedia when it comes to her knowledge on Wills. I didn't know much about Wills but knew that it was really important for my children to be protected and looked after if anything happened to me. She went through all of the options available and consequences in order to Advice me on the best options for my family.
I changed my mind a few times going backwards and forwards she was really patient throughout. I now have total peace of mind in knowing that my children will be looked after if something terrible happens to me. Thank you so much Natalie- a true asset to her company!

I will be going to the Legal Ombudsman after the service i have received here, incredibly unethical law firm that manipulates the way they treat their clients. I wish i could go into further detail in regards to this organisation and their false actions within of the court system. Would give 0 stars if i could.

The support and guidance we received from Robert Jappie, was not only invaluable, it also ensured that we reached an agreement and a way forward in a very complex matter with our local council. Honestly we wouldn't be trading today if it wasn't for both Robert and MTG as a firm. We can't thank them enough.
