I received great service from Sarah! As a first time buyer, I was fully supported throughout the process and was kept up to date where required. Abi & Karen were also very helpful.

Send a quote on first page and then additional charges broken down over 2 pages.so the initial figure on page 1 isn't the fee.make sure you read everything as they try and draw you in by outlining prices without VAT and only part of the service On top of that you have people answering calls with so much attitude, not professional at all

I spoke to Jo first at Martin Shepherds, after being recommended to Sarah Mitchinson, as Abi was on holiday. When Abi came back I dealt with her most of the time. My whole experience with Sarahs team has truly been a fantastic one, and I would have no hesitation in recommending or returning to them. Thank you for making the sale of my flat a beautiful experience, not a stressful headache.

Absolutely excellent service. We were first time buyers and didn't have a clue what we were doing. Sarah was our solicitor and went above and beyond to help us through and understand the processes of buying our house. She reassured as from Starr to finish and the experience as stress and worry free as possible. We will definitely use Sarah again if we chose to move property again.

First time buyer, Sarah Mitchinson was my solicitor. I had no idea what I was doing but she was so patient and kept me informed every little step of the way and all the details explained. Would highly recommend using Sarah.

Sarah Mitchinson acted on our behalf for a very difficult flat sale. The requirements from the buyers solicitor kept changing. Sarah was excellent, she kept us calm and up to date with everything and was super speedy at getting everything done in changing circumstances to ensure the sale went through in the timelines required. Thank you Sarah!

Divorce handled by Jane Maton, draconian attitude, I have been left without money, without my self esteem and everyday is a struggle to feed my children, yet they didn't care about my case whatsoever making major mistakes along the way. In the end I bought law books, prepared my own bundles, represented myself and succeeded without the help of this "solicitor". I then found an amazing solicitor in Chigwell who finalised my papers for 900, not for the tens of thousands of pounds paid to this firm. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR MATRIMONIAL LAW. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH INTO SOLICITORS BEFORE PARTING WITH YOUR MONEY!

Sarah Mitchinson and her Martin Shepherd team handled a property sale on my behalf. There were several additional requests and delays on the buyer's side that made the process more complex than anticipated. Sarah and her team diligently followed up at every step to move things forwards. Excellent communication and responsiveness through and through - I was kept informed clearly and regularly. In the end, even with the unexpected complications on the buyer's side, it was definitely a seamless experience. A big thank you for that! You can confidently entrust Sarah with your solicitor needs.

Fantastic service from Sarah and her team at Martin Shepherd. We had a difficult moving experience and they were there with advice and support the whole way. Would definitely recommend them.

Sarah recently did the conveyancing for our sale and purchase. She kept us constantly updated throughout the transaction and we were never left wondering what was going on. Everything went so smoothly and we would thoroughly recommend Sarah to everyone and will not hesitate to use her again in the future if we need to. Thank you!
