Formerly Rix and Kay
Company took over Rix and Kay in Uckfield in August and with this the secure storage of our LPA (power of attorney). Needed to urgently get hold of the documents due to a medical emergency with my dad. Never called me back for a day and then could not locate the documents for days. Rather than letting me know there could be an issue, they didn’t get in contact. Eventually the documents were found but then were sent to the wrong address.
Their systems for proving ID are antiquated compared to my normal solicitors where it is all online using facial recognition software. I would steer clear.

Smooth handling of complex sale and purchase
At the start of our moving journey we had wondered whether or not to use Knights as all our dealings over some years had been through IBB and we were concerned that the acquisition by Knights might have changed things. Our fears were soon allayed and the sale of our house, which had a complex interest, moved forward smoothly until the buyer's solicitor woke up at the eleventh hour and started to raise issues, perhaps to make up for his earlier lack of visibility to his high profile clients. The sale completion process was straightforward though we found the online paperwork took some getting used to. Completion of our purchase took place two weeks later and was similarly easy. Huge thanks to Gary and his team for their work on our behalf.

Excellent Company.
My house purchase was seamless, with great communication and everything explained well. We felt very well looked after. Katrina and Louise were one hand daily and very good with comms. Would highly recommend.

I highly recommend Knights solicitors
I highly recommend Knights solicitors. Ian Peach and his team couldn't have helped me more with my conveyancing. 1st class service in every respect. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thank you Knights!

10/10, cannot recommend Joanne enough!
Fantastic service, could not have completed our flat purchase without Joanne!
Earlier this year, we completed on our flat with Joanne Robinson as our conveyancer.
To say that the transaction was riddled with issues would be an understatement- disagreements concerning indemnities that were required, building works, a problematic seller, this purchase had it all.
Joanne was there for us at every step of the way. She was helpful, forthcoming, up front with information, and above all, honest. We felt that we could trust her with the biggest purchase of our lives, and we had confidence in her ability to make sure we were covered on all bases.
This confidence was not only tested before the purchase but even after- where we had to contact the seller several months later.
Joanne helped us with this and enabled us to reach the outcome that was previously agreed upon, all without charging us extra for the added hours she had to work on it.
We love our flat, and we do not think any of this would’ve been possible without Joanne!

28 day completion at auction
We found a house to purchase at auction and needed prompt legal advice prior to auction. Knights responded immediately. They then completed within 28 days. Always courteous, professional and responsive.

Good team around me
We started the process of probate and conveyancing with Rix & Kay, which then got transferred to Knights. The people I have dealt with throughout have been professional, knowledgable and easy to communicate with. They kept me in the loop, especially when the buyers went quiet on the house sale, but it did eventually complete. We had a few issues around probate being granted (due to an error at the probate office, not with Rix & Kay), and the lack of communication over the transfer to Knights, but I would definitely recommend this team to others.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Minal at Knights to complete the purchase of my new property and was extremely impressed with the level of service provided. From start to finish, the process was handled with amazing professionalism, efficiency, and incredible attention to detail.
Communication was always clear and timely, and I felt well-informed and supported throughout every stage of the transaction. Thanks to Minal’s expertise and diligence, the completion went smoothly and on schedule.
I would highly recommend Knights to anyone seeking a reliable and professional solicitor for their property needs.
Also, a mention to Ayesha and Sue who also suppoeted me through the process.
Warm regards,
John Morton

I was aware at the outset that Knights were more expensive than many other companies offering conveyancing services, but I now feel it was definitely worth the extra outlay. Andrew Piggin handled my sale and purchase and throughout the process he could not have been more helpful, efficient and - crucially - available. Everything went through smoothly and I felt in safe hands at all times. I have no hesitation in highly recommending him.

Excellence, Diligence, Knowledge And Communication
In brief? Superb, highly competent, responsive, authoritative service throughout my property sale process. A great company with strong communicators and wonderful professionalism.
My two Nottingham HMOs were tough and complex to move. However, in the course of a long sales campaign, every challenge that arose was overcome, and the person who met each one with calm, articulate expertise was Georgia Driver.
Georgia proved herself invaluable, dedicated and exceptionally professional time and time again. Her conscientiousness and attentiveness to detail are utterly remarkable and I cannot speak highly enough of her and the team around her, Philippa and Sharon, in particular. Georgia's consistency and determination is 1000%, and she will go way beyond to get the job done.
I was always kept extremely well-informed, and - for example - when we moved from a regular agent sale to auction for one of the properties, a great deal had to be handled with enormous efficiency to meet the date (including an anxious seller's steep learning curve). Everything went ahead fine.
These are the people I want in my corner next time round.

Be aware of very high fees
Read the small print very carefully. Just had a very bad experience with their fee structure. They charge in 0.06 minute increments, as an example I sent a text to a solicitor and got charged £39:00 + VAT for the privilidge. Several emails back and forth you will be charged for every single one of them. Complaints procedure a waste of time as it's all in the terms you send them. Ruthless company.

Safe hands with in-depth knowledge and very effective comms! From our initial conversation with…
From our initial conversation with Louise Jones we knew we were going to be in safe-hands with an experienced team well versed in complex transactions involving listed properties. It must be said that our lead Conveyancer, Jordan Oakes, was superb throughout. A very effective communicator keeping us fully up-dated at all times. Thank you!

Great service every time
Having used Knights both for selling our old property and buying our new one this year, we have nothing but the highest regard for Rachel and Dagmara, who were always calm, friendly and responsive to every situation that arose. Would recommend them to anyone who wants the best advice and most professional of services.
