Client Testimonials
Laura Sherlock Testimonial 6
Many thanks Laura for everything. You were instrumental in helping us to get to a harmonious and calm place with resolutions for the future
Laura Sherlock Testimonial 5
Laura, Ian and Sandra have all been outstanding. Laura in particular has been a godsend during a tricky process, always responding in a timely manner (even when juggling leave!) and crucially in a way which is pragmatic and easy for me, a lay person, to understand. She listened to what we said/wanted and gave excellent advice. I shall be recommending her to everyone.
Emin Testimonial 10
We very much appreciated the thoroughness and the advice given to us by Emin.
David Testimonial
Can we take this opportunity to thank David, Jennie and Theresa for all your help. We did not know the firm previously but were thoroughly impressed with the professional and friendly nature in all our dealings with them from receptionist to senior partner. We found in all our dealings with the team to be excellent. If they were not available they always replied as soon as they were free. No query was ever left unanswered for any undue amount of time. They answered all our enquires and it was a pleasure dealing with them. It was reassuring for us that they provided support and always struck us as being wholly professional in all dealings with them.
Emin Testimonial 9
All documents and instructions sent just once and made complete sense. Great efficiency and communication
Simon Testimonial 6
I was really pleased with the service that Simon (and support team) provided in the purchase of our property. I wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending him.

As first time buyers we were completely new to the process, Carole was extremely efficient and pick up on issues we wouldn’t have been aware of otherwise. Thank you!
Emma Saxby Testimonial 8
Emma has been fantastic throughout, which has included a house sale, 2x flat purchases falling through and now a house purchase going ahead. She has communicated in a timely manner, always replying on the day which helps. She has remained professional, supportive and kept me updated throughout all the different processes and legal aspects, as well as giving sound advice on legal issues. I would highly recommend Emma.
Laura Sherlock Testimonial 4
Thank you for all your help as it made a huge difference, and I am really grateful for your empathy and advice during what has been/is an extremely stressful period in my life.
Laura Sherlock Testimonial 3
I am very impressed at how quickly you expedited this. I will most definitely consider using you again in the future.
Emma Saxby Testimonial 7
Emma and her assistant were extremely helpful with our conveyancing, and even our mortgage broker commented on how prompt and thorough they had been with the purchase. Everything went brilliantly and we're very glad we went with Emin Read!
Emin Testimonial 8
Very quick responses which always answered my questions from Ann-Marie Jones and Emin
Aimee Testimonial 3
We were kept regularly updated in a clear and very helpful way by both Aimee and Angela. This was greatly appreciated, particularly during the latter stages of the process when a long chain posed a number of challenges!
Laura Swindles 11
Thank you Emin Reed, specifically Laura and Iain - at times i needed my hand holding and you both provided the support through a somewhat bumpy sale.
Becky Testimonial 6
It’s always scary dealing with legalities when you don't normally, but Becky and the team have been so supportive, calm and understanding, even in those moments of complete bewilderment and mis-understanding of the terminology and process. We would highly recommend them to anyone that asked and thank them for all of their support so far (purchase pending!), their patience is exceedingly reassuring along with the complete professionalism that they exude…
Emma Saxby Testimonial 6
I have used Emin Read on three separate house purchases and sales and would recommend them to friends and family without hesitation. Emma Saxby is exceptionally diligent, efficient and very enjoyable to work with.
Laura Swindles 10
You have made everything throughout the sale very easy to understand, with excellent communication skills which makes life so much easier. A special thanks to Laura Swindles who has been great

Emma Saxby Testimonial 5
We have been so impressed and delighted with the level of care and attention we received from everyone at Emin Read. Everyone who handled our case was so friendly, supportive, and determined to get all of the answers we needed. We really felt supported and understood, especially when we had the final issue of Service Charge confusion. You all made the process of purchasing our first home so smooth.
Emin Testimonial 6
Emin and his team explained things with crystal clarity, and was a great support on my behalf.
Vanessa Testimonial 6
Vanessa was excellent throughout both the buying and selling process. Vanessa is very efficient and also very effective at managing expectations from both sides whose expectations a lot of the time were completely unrealistic.
Andrew effortlessly tied up the completion side of both the buying and selling.
Laura Swindles 8
Have been a real rock in the chain process. We've depended on Laura, Iain and the team to get this done in time. I don't think we would have managed to pull this off without their personal approach to a few difficult situations.

Excellent service from Emin and his team. Cannot fault. Very happy customer!

Emin Testimonial 4
I appreciate specifically the team's meticulous work that resulted in protecting me from a rogue property agent.
Simon Testimonial 5
We had an excellent experience thanks to Simon and Kirsten, who made sure we were guided through every step of the house purchase process. They were clear, attentive, helpful and supportive the whole way through. I wouldn't hesitate to refer work to Emin Read again and am very grateful to them for all their hard work in ensuring the purchase went smoothly.
Carole Testimonial 3
This is the third time we have used Carole Russell, twice for property purchases and one sale. She is by far the most professional solicitor we have had dealings with. Correspondence is timely and all queries and requests are dealt with in a timely manner and to our satisfaction. We would not use anyone else for any future dealings and cannot recommend Carole and Emin Read enough.
Vanessa Testimonial 5
Would actually consider them my go to solicitor. Have already recommended them to many. My daughter bought a local property ,where the property they bought was handled through Emin Reid and they were also very impressed with the efficiency
Simon Testimonial 4
Very caring ensuring that I was fully aware of the legal and financial implications of my move.
Becky Testimonial 4
Becky and Natalie were wonderful, they were totally professional and extremely competent during the whole process. We cannot thank them and the entire team at Emin Read for providing such an excellent service.
Sacha Testimonial 3
I would recommend Emin Read without hesitation. Compared to others’ experiences of buying houses I can say my experience with Emin Read was without doubt more efficient, better communicated and with greater access to advice.
Becky Testimonial 3
Would always recommend Becky and your firm
Theresa Testimonial 4
Excellent on all fronts - quick to respond and proactive in managing enquiries and working with the other solicitors. The transaction and money transfer was handled very early in the day which enabled us to get the keys early - this was very helpful too.
Emin Testimonial 3
Experience was so good I would absolutely use for my next purchase and recommend to friends and family also. Excellent service, professional, answered my questions and very efficient - what more could you ask for?
Emma Saxby Testimonial 4
Emma Saxby is a STAR.…. She acted with a sense of urgency. Accomplished the near impossible with respect to timelines. SUPERB job. Professional, calm, got to the point.
Theresa Testimonial 3
The service was excellent, it ran very smoothly and we were kept in the loop. Theresa and the team really took the time to answer all our questions and we are very happy with their help and support along the way
Emma Saxby Testimonial 3
Emma Saxby the best conveyancing solicitor I have used in 47 years of property deals. Thirteen days from appointment to completion on a million pound plus property with a response time of minutes rather than hours or days. Thank you Emma.
Laura Swindles 7
Laura was brilliant, very quick at responding to emails, kept us updated even if there wasn’t much of an update. Would highly recommend Laura, she’s an asset to Emin Read
Simon Testimonial 3
This was the first time I had purchased a property in 40 years and Simon Crispin was extremely patient and explained everything to me so that I was confident with the whole process. I can't thank him enough for making the whole house buying experience as painless as possible.
Simon Testimonial 2
There was a lot of complicated stuff that was over my head but Simon made it really easy to understand. Especially over the phone. He was also really helpful in pointing out all the things I should be aware of. Everything was fantastic and I’m really pleased with the service I received.
Aimee Testimonial 2
We would like to thank Ms Aimee Sutton and her team for their excellent work, professional attitude, and willingness to accommodate to our needs. We have recommended your firm to our friends, and will continue to do so.
Vanessa Testimonial 4
Vanessa and the team at Battle were excellent. We felt very safe and looked after.
Simon Testimonial 1
It is refreshing to have finally found a solicitors firm that seems to care what the client has to say and is happy to listen to them instead of hiding behind email or call screening. It was a pleasure dealing with Simon & Kirsten and I have already recommended Emin Read to two other people. My wife and I are also in the early stages of a buy to let property journey and will certainly be using Emin Read again.
Susie Testimonial 1
Extra grateful for all Susie has done for me and her amazing communication. Susie has been absolutely amazing from start, finish and beyond. I am so grateful for all her help.
Laura Swindles 6
Absolutely fantastic! The best firm out there if you want to buy or sell. Laura Swindles one of the best people in Conveyancing in the UK I have ever had the pleasure of working with as a customer and professionally. Fast, efficient and extremely knowledgeable. It is rare to find people that can problem solve and advise you on tough decisions better than these two. I felt in safe hands throughout the process and despite my extremely high expectations and demands they were met!
Laura Swindles 5
I run my own estate agents and I have been putting clients in touch with Laura Swindles at Emin Read Solicitors for the past two years. Everyone, including myself has been very impressed with Laura's service. Laura is always keeping everyone up to date and is easy to get hold of should you have any questions.
Laura Swindles 4
Laura Swindles was amazing through the whole process, my wife chloe and I were first time buyers and needed support from start to finish. Laura completely understood and was patient, attentive professional and went above and beyond to help us and made sure the exchange/completion day was in our best interest.
She kept us in the loop at all times, never had negative moment! She always wanted to help us as she appreciated this is our biggest investment etc.
I would strongly recommend Emin Read and Laura Swindles in particular to anyone with regards to legal for home purchases and sales and wish them all the best in the future.
Laura Swindles 3
Always fast and efficient, excellent communication, a very thorough approach and extremely approachable - a rare find today! Laura's knowledge and advice coupled with her determination to problem solve gives rise to the best possible outcome when inevitably tough decisions have to be made. We all felt safe in her hands throughout each process and confident that no stone was left unturned. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Laura and her team at Emin Read, you are assured the highest quality conveyancing.
Laura Swindles 2
I have heard from many people buying a house that one of the worst experiences they have it's with the solicitors, however, in our case this could not be further from the truth. We are really impressed with Laura and her superb communication skills, she never kept us waiting for email responses (and believe us there was a lot of email exchange going on). We are glad to highly recommend her and Emin Read as conveyancing solicitors. We will for sure use them in the future!
Laura Swindles 1
Would highly recommend Laura swindles ! This is the 3rd time we have used Laura to act for us buying our new property.
Vanessa Testimonial 3
Everything was explained to my level of understanding, I fully understood what was going on at all times. I was updated regularly about how the sale was going, which gave me great confidence in Vanessa.
Aimee Testimonial 1
Simple, Friendly, Fast & Efficient
Russell Testimonial 3
My contact was Russell Dean with regard to a tenant in significant rent arrears. Russell was efficient, helpful and accessible. His instructions were clear and his advice proved to be on point. He's a great advert for your services. Thank you Russell. Now that I'm selling the flat and need a conveyancing solicitor, if the price is right I will trust Emin Read!
Ann-Marie Testimonial 7
I was extremely pleased with the service I received. All members of staff working on my file were responsive, knowledgeable and efficient at a very challenging time for the property market. The fees were very reasonable for the service provided. I will definitely recommend Emin Read for residential conveyancing.
Ann-Marie Testimonial 6
It was a pleasure dealing with Emin & Ann-Marie. Right from the beginning, all their communication was fast, efficient and easy to understand. I always knew what I had to do next and despite Christmas & COVID it was a very slick operation. It was a stressful house purchase for me but they were at the eye of the storm and kept everything steady! Thank you so much. I've recommended you to someone already!
Ann-Marie Testimonial 5
Many thanks for sharing confirmation. A huge thank you to yourself, Emin and the rest of the team for your tireless work to get this all done some quickly. Extremely appreciated and impressive. Thanks for getting us to this milestone.
Will be recommending business to your firm with many friends soon going through the buying process.
Becky Testimonial 2
I communicated with Becky Stovold and Natalie Saber. Both were exceptionally professional and responsive. I am a solicitor myself so expect a lot. They consistently delivered at or above expectations level. This is my second purchase. The first firm I used was a shambles. Emin Read, and Becky in particular, were a recommendation. I have since recommended the firm and Becky. I would happily come back for my next property transaction.
Laura Sherlock Testimonial 2
Thank you for all of the help you’ve given me over the last year. I really appreciate it & how sensitive you were to everything.
Thank you again.
Clair G Testimonial 1
Residential Property Client “Claire has been extremely helpful and kept us informed all through our purchase. We will definitely recommend her to our friends.
Becky Testimonial 1
Becky was so helpful, efficient and pleasant to deal with throughout. Becky was working towards the end of June 2021 for the stamp duty deadline which would have been met on her part (the other side’s solicitors and sellers were slow)” Even in what must have been a very busy time Becky was great. Thank you
Ann-Marie Testimonial 4
It was good to have Ann-Marie’s intervention as she kept us informed and was happy to update us when we requested it
Ann-Marie Testimonial 3
Brilliant service from start to finish, everyone we have had any contact with has been superb and highly efficient, many thanks to you all, but especially Ann-Marie.
Emma Saxby Testimonial 2
We would like to thank you for how well and professionally you have handled the conveyancing. As you must know, being involved in buying a property involves uncertainty and therefore stress but you have always kept us advised of progress and have responded promptly which has made the process so much easier. In particular we appreciated the clarity of the Report on Title and the helpful way in which you highlighted the salient points in the various lengthy and (dare we say!) tedious title documents.
Laura Sherlock Testimonial
Should I need any legal representation for anything in the future I know where to come. You have been very concise, efficient, and understanding in all aspects of this matter, and for that I thank you very much.
Laura and Becky Testimonial
I dealt with Laura Sherlock for the divorce and with Becky Stovold for the transfer of equity. I felt very well looked after and informed throughout the process. A divorce is very unsettling and emotional so it's important to have someone working on your behalf who is knowledgeable and that you can trust. I felt I had that in both Laura and Becky. Many thanks for all your help.
Ann-Marie Testimonial 2
We want to thank you for your help as well - and Ann-Marie who is truly exceptional. We are very grateful and relieved that we've manage to close on both the sale and purchase.
Ann-Marie Testimonial
We just wanted to thank you personally for all your help and advice in this matter, and to Ann-Marie who mentioned one day that she had only been with you for about two or three weeks.
Frankly we wouldn’t have known; she has handled the last couple of weeks of the sale as if she had been there for years. Polite, efficient, emails and phone calls returned almost immediately whilst dealing with these unprecedented busy times.
Claire and Laura Testimonial 5
I’d just like to thank you for your help and support last year sorting things between myself and my ex. Without you I don’t think I would be in the position I am in to move on and indeed move out into my new place. Your professionalism and assurance were second to none. Thank you so much again.
Claire and Laura Testimonial 4
My wife & I are so happy not only with the outcome but the service we had during our recent application for a Special Guardianship Order. The pressure this brought out not only financially but emotionally with so much stress, the help of the team reassuring us throughout when we needed it so much not knowing what to expect when dealing with a minor were second to none. We can only say a big thank you to Laura!
Claire and Laura Testimonial 3
I really want to thank Laura & Claire for their amazing support and professional service during the hardest time of my life. Everything was explained clearly and advice given on my best options. Calls and emails were consistently replied to promptly and they were both always approachable and understanding especially during stressful situations. I really can’t thank you enough.
Claire and Laura Testimonial 2
Laura I would just like to thank you again for today. You were so helpful and thorough and you are a credit to the company.
Claire and Laura Testimonial
Claire and Laura provided an excellent service. They are very quick, personable and made me feel at ease during a difficult time.
I was offered a free face-to-face appointment, their terms of service and a time frame up front, plus their advice in writing which was very helpful and made me feel supported. A very thorough service and I would highly recommend their services at Emin Read.
David Testimonial 3
Thanks to you and your team for all your help, support and patience to get us to completion. As I mentioned. the customer care and service delivered by you has been far greater and professional than other solicitors used in the past. Thanks again.
Laura2 Testimonial 3
Laura was our solicitor on our house sale and purchase that completed back in February. I just wanted to drop you a note to say how impressed we were throughout the process. She replied to emails while out of the office, always had the answers to our detailed questions and went out of her way to make it easy for us. All in all we were extremely impressed.
Andre Testimonial 2 Copy
This is absolutely without a doubt great news. I am very pleased that finally it has come to a close. I wish to thank Andre and his staff, especially Catherine for making this happen. My contact with Catherine on a weekly, sometimes daily basis put my mind and ease and I felt very comforting knowing that your Company was handled my business. Catherine was nothing less than professional and knowledgeable and understanding. She handled every challenge I encounter with that of respect and professionalism and made me comfortable with her answers. If I were still in the military life, I would have awarded her a medal for the dedication and knowledge she presented to me. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to her. Thank you Andre for an exceptional job. If you are ever planning a trip to Barbados to get some sunshine and warmth away from the freeze of England, do not hesitate to give me a call. I will be sure to recommend you to all my friends and family for future needs.
Victoria Testimonial 2
Going to a solicitor to make a will is something we put off as we were expecting it to be a stuffy, formal and time consuming process. You showed how wrong that perception was. Your friendly and professional helped us through the process smoothly and efficiently. Your helpful explanation of what is appropriate in making a will and your advice on how to specify other arrangements was very valuable.We appreciated you being flexible in arranging the appointment early in the day so we were not inconvenienced in getting to work.
Victoria Testimonial 1
On meeting Ms Davies I found her to be a warm and approachable woman. She is obviously highly knowledgeable, direct and swift to act. I am elderly and disabled; I greatly appreciated her patience toward me. Ms Davies has my trust and I commend her to you both for her professional expertise and personality.
Gary Testimonial 2
I just wanted to thank you for the speed and clarity in which you dealt with my will. In what could have been deemed a complicated case, you made things simple and effective.
Gary Testimonial 1
Although preparing for the worst can be a difficult and emotional experience, Gary was extremely supportive during the process. He made sure to take me through all the various trust and tax options to enable me to provide the right instructions for my estate to create the desired outcome. I am reassured that, on the event of my death, my estate will be divided according to my wishes and my family provided for in the way that I want.
Lucy Testimonial 1
Thank you for everything over the last couple of months and helping to push the sale through. I went to collect the keys on Friday night and look forward to moving in. I'll definitely be in touch again with you if I buy again and will definitely recommend your services going forward.
Juanita Testimonial 2
Thank you for all your hard work. You have been so helpful, friendly and efficient and that is very much appreciated.
Juanita Testimonial 1
Thanks for the fantastic conveyancing work with the purchase. We are delighted it’s complete.
Carole Testimonial 2
It has been a pleasure to work with you (again), and thank you for being so efficient. I have mentioned to my colleague that he should make your acquaintance, as someone who will actually do a great job when it comes to conveyancing……you have no idea how difficult this is to find! I look forward to working with you again in the future.
Carole Testimonial 1
We have been very impressed by the efficient way you have dealt with these transactions. My sister has also asked me to convey her thanks also and to state that when she comes to sell her property she will be asking you to deal with the sale on her behalf. Due to your great help we contacted one of your colleagues to help us on another matter...
Laura Testimonial 2
I am delighted we have finally exchanged contracts on a property and wanted to take the opportunity to thank you so much for your superb professionalism, help and advice but above all for keeping me sane throughout the stresses and strains of house buying! I very much appreciate the prompt and efficient manner in which you addressed all my queries and the speed and strength of your ongoing communications with me to update me on progress. Thank you for all your hard efforts and I shall not hesitate to recommend Emin Read to friends and colleagues.
Laura Testimonial 1
Overall the whole team were excellent, Laura was very helpful and we are pleased with the service we received. The process of moving was made a lot easier by using Emin Read, Thank you!
Lesley Testimonial 2
Just to say thank you for your professionalism and good humour during this slightly protracted purchase. Both are much appreciated. I look forward to instruction you when we come to sell the property, hopefully in October. In the meantime, I will heartily recommend you to all and sundry!
Lesley Testimonial 1
I wanted to say a huge thank you. You will be very pleased to hear that I had a wonderful first night in my fabulous new home. I will keep in touch, as one will plan to extend my lease once I have saved up for it. I will also send all of my friends to you. Once again, thank you for your kindness, patience, and incredible work!
Theresa Testimonial 2
We were both very impressed with the speed and efficiency with which Theresa dealt with matters. We will be sure to recommend you going forward.
Theresa Testimonial 1
Can we take this opportunity to thank you and Theresa for all your help. I would like to particularly mention Theresa who dealt with the majority of our contact with your company. We found her to be excellent; she has answered all our enquires and it was a pleasure dealing with her. She provided support and always struck us as being wholly professional in all dealings with her. Please pass on our gratitude.
Vanessa Testimonial 2
I cannot thank Vanessa enough for her consistently professional and clear communication in a tricky and drawn out process. She was amazing on all fronts and we are so happy we found her.

David Testimonial 2
We just wanted to say thank you and your team for the work on our sale and purchase. Emin Read always responded to our questions promptly and were professional throughout. You made the process very straight forward.
David Testimonial 1
I would just like to say a big thank you on behalf of myself and my wife for helping in the purchase of our new home. It has been a bit of a journey with quite a few frantic calls to David along the way. Your firm has been amazing throughout the whole process and we just cannot thank you all enough for not just helping with the purchase but also your good advice.
Andre Testimonial 2
I’m sure Simon will have thanked you for your work on this. I would also like to add my thanks. I am amazed and delighted with the speed at which this exchange progressed. I very much appreciate the effort you have had to put in, particularly while you were moving offices. My wife and I now have all three children on the property ladder thank goodness. Time to celebrate!
Andre Testimonial 1
Thank you both so much...we will pop in just after completion to say thank you in person. #incredible solicitors #recommended #speedy #effortless #thank you for putting up with us.
Emin Testimonial 2
Just a quick note to say thank you for the excellent professional service you and your staff have provided me during the purchase and of course the recent sale of our properties.

I wouldn't hesitate to refer work to Emin Read again and am very grateful to them for all their hard work in ensuring the purchase went smoothly.
Carole Testimonial 3
This is the third time we have used Carole Russell, twice for property purchases and one sale. She is by far the most professional solicitor we have had dealings with. Correspondence is timely and all queries and requests are dealt with in a timely manner and to our satisfaction. We would not use anyone else for any future dealings and cannot recommend Carole and Emin Read enough.
Vanessa Testimonial 5
Would actually consider them my go to solicitor. Have already recommended them to many. My daughter bought a local property ,where the property they bought was handled through Emin Reid and they were also very impressed with the efficiency
Simon Testimonial 4
Very caring ensuring that I was fully aware of the legal and financial implications of my move.
Becky Testimonial 4
Becky and Natalie were wonderful, they were totally professional and extremely competent during the whole process. We cannot thank them and the entire team at Emin Read for providing such an excellent service.
Sacha Testimonial 3
I would recommend Emin Read without hesitation. Compared to others’ experiences of buying houses I can say my experience with Emin Read was without doubt more efficient, better communicated and with greater access to advice.
Becky Testimonial 3
Would always recommend Becky and your firm
Theresa Testimonial 4
Excellent on all fronts - quick to respond and proactive in managing enquiries and working with the other solicitors. The transaction and money transfer was handled very early in the day which enabled us to get the keys early - this was very helpful too.
Emin Testimonial 3
Experience was so good I would absolutely use for my next purchase and recommend to friends and family also. Excellent service, professional, answered my questions and very efficient - what more could you ask for?
Emma Saxby Testimonial 4
Emma Saxby is a STAR.…. She acted with a sense of urgency. Accomplished the near impossible with respect to timelines. SUPERB job. Professional, calm, got to the point.
Theresa Testimonial 3
The service was excellent, it ran very smoothly and we were kept in the loop. Theresa and the team really took the time to answer all our questions and we are very happy with their help and support along the way
Emma Saxby Testimonial 3
Emma Saxby the best conveyancing solicitor I have used in 47 years of property deals. Thirteen days from appointment to completion on a million pound plus property with a response time of minutes rather than hours or days. Thank you Emma.
Laura Swindles 7
Laura was brilliant, very quick at responding to emails, kept us updated even if there wasn’t much of an update. Would highly recommend Laura, she’s an asset to Emin Read
Simon Testimonial 3
This was the first time I had purchased a property in 40 years and Simon Crispin was extremely patient and explained everything to me so that I was confident with the whole process. I can't thank him enough for making the whole house buying experience as painless as possible.
Simon Testimonial 2
There was a lot of complicated stuff that was over my head but Simon made it really easy to understand. Especially over the phone. He was also really helpful in pointing out all the things I should be aware of. Everything was fantastic and I’m really pleased with the service I received.
Aimee Testimonial 2
We would like to thank Ms Aimee Sutton and her team for their excellent work, professional attitude, and willingness to accommodate to our needs. We have recommended your firm to our friends, and will continue to do so.
Vanessa Testimonial 4
Vanessa and the team at Battle were excellent. We felt very safe and looked after.
Simon Testimonial 1
It is refreshing to have finally found a solicitors firm that seems to care what the client has to say and is happy to listen to them instead of hiding behind email or call screening. It was a pleasure dealing with Simon & Kirsten and I have already recommended Emin Read to two other people. My wife and I are also in the early stages of a buy to let property journey and will certainly be using Emin Read again.
Susie Testimonial 1
Extra grateful for all Susie has done for me and her amazing communication. Susie has been absolutely amazing from start, finish and beyond. I am so grateful for all her help.
Laura Swindles 6
Absolutely fantastic! The best firm out there if you want to buy or sell. Laura Swindles one of the best people in Conveyancing in the UK I have ever had the pleasure of working with as a customer and professionally. Fast, efficient and extremely knowledgeable. It is rare to find people that can problem solve and advise you on tough decisions better than these two. I felt in safe hands throughout the process and despite my extremely high expectations and demands they were met!
Laura Swindles 5
I run my own estate agents and I have been putting clients in touch with Laura Swindles at Emin Read Solicitors for the past two years. Everyone, including myself has been very impressed with Laura's service. Laura is always keeping everyone up to date and is easy to get hold of should you have any questions.
Laura Swindles 4
Laura Swindles was amazing through the whole process, my wife chloe and I were first time buyers and needed support from start to finish. Laura completely understood and was patient, attentive professional and went above and beyond to help us and made sure the exchange/completion day was in our best interest. She kept us in the loop at all times, never had negative moment! She always wanted to help us as she appreciated this is our biggest investment etc. I would strongly recommend Emin Read and Laura Swindles in particular to anyone with regards to legal for home purchases and sales and wish them all the best in the future.
Laura Swindles 3
Always fast and efficient, excellent communication, a very thorough approach and extremely approachable - a rare find today! Laura's knowledge and advice coupled with her determination to problem solve gives rise to the best possible outcome when inevitably tough decisions have to be made. We all felt safe in her hands throughout each process and confident that no stone was left unturned. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Laura and her team at Emin Read, you are assured the highest quality conveyancing.
Laura Swindles 2
I have heard from many people buying a house that one of the worst experiences they have it's with the solicitors, however, in our case this could not be further from the truth. We are really impressed with Laura and her superb communication skills, she never kept us waiting for email responses (and believe us there was a lot of email exchange going on). We are glad to highly recommend her and Emin Read as conveyancing solicitors. We will for sure use them in the future!
Laura Swindles 1
Would highly recommend Laura swindles ! This is the 3rd time we have used Laura to act for us buying our new property.
Vanessa Testimonial 3
Everything was explained to my level of understanding, I fully understood what was going on at all times. I was updated regularly about how the sale was going, which gave me great confidence in Vanessa.
Aimee Testimonial 1
Simple, Friendly, Fast & Efficient
Russell Testimonial 3
My contact was Russell Dean with regard to a tenant in significant rent arrears. Russell was efficient, helpful and accessible. His instructions were clear and his advice proved to be on point. He's a great advert for your services. Thank you Russell. Now that I'm selling the flat and need a conveyancing solicitor, if the price is right I will trust Emin Read!
Ann-Marie Testimonial 7
I was extremely pleased with the service I received. All members of staff working on my file were responsive, knowledgeable and efficient at a very challenging time for the property market. The fees were very reasonable for the service provided. I will definitely recommend Emin Read for residential conveyancing.
Ann-Marie Testimonial 6
It was a pleasure dealing with Emin & Ann-Marie. Right from the beginning, all their communication was fast, efficient and easy to understand. I always knew what I had to do next and despite Christmas & COVID it was a very slick operation. It was a stressful house purchase for me but they were at the eye of the storm and kept everything steady! Thank you so much. I've recommended you to someone already!
Ann-Marie Testimonial 5
Many thanks for sharing confirmation. A huge thank you to yourself, Emin and the rest of the team for your tireless work to get this all done some quickly. Extremely appreciated and impressive. Thanks for getting us to this milestone. Will be recommending business to your firm with many friends soon going through the buying process.
Becky Testimonial 2
I communicated with Becky Stovold and Natalie Saber. Both were exceptionally professional and responsive. I am a solicitor myself so expect a lot. They consistently delivered at or above expectations level. This is my second purchase. The first firm I used was a shambles. Emin Read, and Becky in particular, were a recommendation. I have since recommended the firm and Becky. I would happily come back for my next property transaction.
Laura Sherlock Testimonial 2
Thank you for all of the help you’ve given me over the last year. I really appreciate it & how sensitive you were to everything. Thank you again.
Clair G Testimonial 1
Residential Property Client “Claire has been extremely helpful and kept us informed all through our purchase. We will definitely recommend her to our friends.
Becky Testimonial 1
Becky was so helpful, efficient and pleasant to deal with throughout. Becky was working towards the end of June 2021 for the stamp duty deadline which would have been met on her part (the other side’s solicitors and sellers were slow)” Even in what must have been a very busy time Becky was great. Thank you
Ann-Marie Testimonial 4
It was good to have Ann-Marie’s intervention as she kept us informed and was happy to update us when we requested it
Ann-Marie Testimonial 3
Brilliant service from start to finish, everyone we have had any contact with has been superb and highly efficient, many thanks to you all, but especially Ann-Marie.
Emma Saxby Testimonial 2
We would like to thank you for how well and professionally you have handled the conveyancing. As you must know, being involved in buying a property involves uncertainty and therefore stress but you have always kept us advised of progress and have responded promptly which has made the process so much easier. In particular we appreciated the clarity of the Report on Title and the helpful way in which you highlighted the salient points in the various lengthy and (dare we say!) tedious title documents.
Laura Sherlock Testimonial
Should I need any legal representation for anything in the future I know where to come. You have been very concise, efficient, and understanding in all aspects of this matter, and for that I thank you very much.
Laura and Becky Testimonial
I dealt with Laura Sherlock for the divorce and with Becky Stovold for the transfer of equity. I felt very well looked after and informed throughout the process. A divorce is very unsettling and emotional so it's important to have someone working on your behalf who is knowledgeable and that you can trust. I felt I had that in both Laura and Becky. Many thanks for all your help.
Ann-Marie Testimonial 2
We want to thank you for your help as well - and Ann-Marie who is truly exceptional. We are very grateful and relieved that we've manage to close on both the sale and purchase.
Ann-Marie Testimonial
We just wanted to thank you personally for all your help and advice in this matter, and to Ann-Marie who mentioned one day that she had only been with you for about two or three weeks. Frankly we wouldn’t have known; she has handled the last couple of weeks of the sale as if she had been there for years. Polite, efficient, emails and phone calls returned almost immediately whilst dealing with these unprecedented busy times.
Claire and Laura Testimonial 5
I’d just like to thank you for your help and support last year sorting things between myself and my ex. Without you I don’t think I would be in the position I am in to move on and indeed move out into my new place. Your professionalism and assurance were second to none. Thank you so much again.
Claire and Laura Testimonial 4
My wife & I are so happy not only with the outcome but the service we had during our recent application for a Special Guardianship Order. The pressure this brought out not only financially but emotionally with so much stress, the help of the team reassuring us throughout when we needed it so much not knowing what to expect when dealing with a minor were second to none. We can only say a big thank you to Laura!
Claire and Laura Testimonial 3
I really want to thank Laura & Claire for their amazing support and professional service during the hardest time of my life. Everything was explained clearly and advice given on my best options. Calls and emails were consistently replied to promptly and they were both always approachable and understanding especially during stressful situations. I really can’t thank you enough.
Claire and Laura Testimonial 2
Laura I would just like to thank you again for today. You were so helpful and thorough and you are a credit to the company.
Claire and Laura Testimonial
Claire and Laura provided an excellent service. They are very quick, personable and made me feel at ease during a difficult time. I was offered a free face-to-face appointment, their terms of service and a time frame up front, plus their advice in writing which was very helpful and made me feel supported. A very thorough service and I would highly recommend their services at Emin Read.
David Testimonial 3
Thanks to you and your team for all your help, support and patience to get us to completion. As I mentioned. the customer care and service delivered by you has been far greater and professional than other solicitors used in the past. Thanks again.
Laura2 Testimonial 3
Laura was our solicitor on our house sale and purchase that completed back in February. I just wanted to drop you a note to say how impressed we were throughout the process. She replied to emails while out of the office, always had the answers to our detailed questions and went out of her way to make it easy for us. All in all we were extremely impressed.
Andre Testimonial 2 Copy
This is absolutely without a doubt great news. I am very pleased that finally it has come to a close. I wish to thank Andre and his staff, especially Catherine for making this happen. My contact with Catherine on a weekly, sometimes daily basis put my mind and ease and I felt very comforting knowing that your Company was handled my business. Catherine was nothing less than professional and knowledgeable and understanding. She handled every challenge I encounter with that of respect and professionalism and made me comfortable with her answers. If I were still in the military life, I would have awarded her a medal for the dedication and knowledge she presented to me. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to her. Thank you Andre for an exceptional job. If you are ever planning a trip to Barbados to get some sunshine and warmth away from the freeze of England, do not hesitate to give me a call. I will be sure to recommend you to all my friends and family for future needs.
Victoria Testimonial 2
Going to a solicitor to make a will is something we put off as we were expecting it to be a stuffy, formal and time consuming process. You showed how wrong that perception was. Your friendly and professional helped us through the process smoothly and efficiently. Your helpful explanation of what is appropriate in making a will and your advice on how to specify other arrangements was very valuable.We appreciated you being flexible in arranging the appointment early in the day so we were not inconvenienced in getting to work.
Victoria Testimonial 1
On meeting Ms Davies I found her to be a warm and approachable woman. She is obviously highly knowledgeable, direct and swift to act. I am elderly and disabled; I greatly appreciated her patience toward me. Ms Davies has my trust and I commend her to you both for her professional expertise and personality.
Gary Testimonial 2
I just wanted to thank you for the speed and clarity in which you dealt with my will. In what could have been deemed a complicated case, you made things simple and effective.
Gary Testimonial 1
Although preparing for the worst can be a difficult and emotional experience, Gary was extremely supportive during the process. He made sure to take me through all the various trust and tax options to enable me to provide the right instructions for my estate to create the desired outcome. I am reassured that, on the event of my death, my estate will be divided according to my wishes and my family provided for in the way that I want.
Lucy Testimonial 1
Thank you for everything over the last couple of months and helping to push the sale through. I went to collect the keys on Friday night and look forward to moving in. I'll definitely be in touch again with you if I buy again and will definitely recommend your services going forward.
Juanita Testimonial 2
Thank you for all your hard work. You have been so helpful, friendly and efficient and that is very much appreciated.
Juanita Testimonial 1
Thanks for the fantastic conveyancing work with the purchase. We are delighted it’s complete.
Carole Testimonial 2
It has been a pleasure to work with you (again), and thank you for being so efficient. I have mentioned to my colleague that he should make your acquaintance, as someone who will actually do a great job when it comes to conveyancing……you have no idea how difficult this is to find! I look forward to working with you again in the future.
Carole Testimonial 1
We have been very impressed by the efficient way you have dealt with these transactions. My sister has also asked me to convey her thanks also and to state that when she comes to sell her property she will be asking you to deal with the sale on her behalf. Due to your great help we contacted one of your colleagues to help us on another matter...
Laura Testimonial 2
I am delighted we have finally exchanged contracts on a property and wanted to take the opportunity to thank you so much for your superb professionalism, help and advice but above all for keeping me sane throughout the stresses and strains of house buying! I very much appreciate the prompt and efficient manner in which you addressed all my queries and the speed and strength of your ongoing communications with me to update me on progress. Thank you for all your hard efforts and I shall not hesitate to recommend Emin Read to friends and colleagues.
Laura Testimonial 1
Overall the whole team were excellent, Laura was very helpful and we are pleased with the service we received. The process of moving was made a lot easier by using Emin Read, Thank you!
Lesley Testimonial 2
Just to say thank you for your professionalism and good humour during this slightly protracted purchase. Both are much appreciated. I look forward to instruction you when we come to sell the property, hopefully in October. In the meantime, I will heartily recommend you to all and sundry!
Lesley Testimonial 1
I wanted to say a huge thank you. You will be very pleased to hear that I had a wonderful first night in my fabulous new home. I will keep in touch, as one will plan to extend my lease once I have saved up for it. I will also send all of my friends to you. Once again, thank you for your kindness, patience, and incredible work!
Theresa Testimonial 2
We were both very impressed with the speed and efficiency with which Theresa dealt with matters. We will be sure to recommend you going forward.
Theresa Testimonial 1
Can we take this opportunity to thank you and Theresa for all your help. I would like to particularly mention Theresa who dealt with the majority of our contact with your company. We found her to be excellent; she has answered all our enquires and it was a pleasure dealing with her. She provided support and always struck us as being wholly professional in all dealings with her. Please pass on our gratitude.
Vanessa Testimonial 2
I cannot thank Vanessa enough for her consistently professional and clear communication in a tricky and drawn out process. She was amazing on all fronts and we are so happy we found her.
Vanessa Testimonial 1
I would like to thank Vanessa. She has always made me feel at ease, as well as being very confident, and efficient when dealing with the sale of my house.
Russell Testimonial 2
Thank you so much for all your help on this matter, unpicking the mess that was left behind and getting us to the end result I was looking for. I am very grateful.
Russell Testimonial 1
Thank you for your guidance and support throughout this process, which we have very much appreciated.
Sacha Testimonial 2
We have been more than happy with the service you offered. In fact we have never before had such personable and efficient service from a conveyancing solicitor.
Sacha Testimonial 1
Just wanted to say thanks for your efforts. Everything was dealt with efficiently and in a timely manner. Such a difference to the automated system adopted by the lawyers I had to use for the re-mortgage. Thanks very much
David Testimonial 2
We just wanted to say thank you and your team for the work on our sale and purchase. Emin Read always responded to our questions promptly and were professional throughout. You made the process very straight forward.
David Testimonial 1
I would just like to say a big thank you on behalf of myself and my wife for helping in the purchase of our new home. It has been a bit of a journey with quite a few frantic calls to David along the way. Your firm has been amazing throughout the whole process and we just cannot thank you all enough for not just helping with the purchase but also your good advice.
Andre Testimonial 2
I’m sure Simon will have thanked you for your work on this. I would also like to add my thanks. I am amazed and delighted with the speed at which this exchange progressed. I very much appreciate the effort you have had to put in, particularly while you were moving offices. My wife and I now have all three children on the property ladder thank goodness. Time to celebrate!
Andre Testimonial 1
Thank you both so much...we will pop in just after completion to say thank you in person. #incredible solicitors #recommended #speedy #effortless #thank you for putting up with us.
Emin Testimonial 2
Just a quick note to say thank you for the excellent professional service you and your staff have provided me during the purchase and of course the recent sale of our properties. Emin, I look forward to using your services again in the very near future. Please pass on my sincere gratitude to all the staff at Emin Read.
Emin Testimonial 1
Emin has done a sterling job for us. He is thorough, very knowledgeable and made sure all the documentation was absolutely correct before we exchange contracts. We were very pleased with the level of service. Thank you very much Emin!
