I would highly recommend Talbots Law. All the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful especially Zara Nasser. This was our first time buying a house and Zara was amazing with us, as well as patient and taking time to make sure that we understood everything.

As first time buyers there's so much hassle and unknown that it can be oftentimes overwhelming. With Talbots Law firm they take that stress away from You and guide You every little step. Staff have very professional approach to client. Lauren, Emily, Liam I can't even mention them all because it felt like whole company was working at my case this whole time. I can't express my gratitude enough. They're good people with skills that make them simply the best out there. Thank You Talbots 💯

Excellent service and kept us informed at every step of the sale. Polite staff and a pleasure to deal with. Would recommend in the future.

Thank you Reena from the Brieley Hill branch in Dudley.
Thank you for all you support, explaining things in detail so I understand and making the process of purchasing my first home an easy, enjoyable one 😊
The only improvement I would say is if the app was updated more frequently, that would be great and saves client time requesting updates via email.

Talbots acted on my behalf in the purchase of my new home. Ethan Davis and Simratnoor Jagra were very attentive and swift to act which led to a timely exchange and completion. Reports had a sufficient level of detail and any queries were responded to quickly and satisfactorily. It is also refreshing to be able to speak directly to members of the team. Overall, I would recommend the services of Ethan Davis and Talbots Law.

You know when you research and hope to find a service provider, that truly understands, listens and just "gets it" right away...Well we needed precisely this and thankfully found it in Nicola Reeve & Sean Isherwood @ Talbots Law. From the very first contact we just knew they had our back and boy did they go into bat for us. There is no words here that will ever convey the gratitude we have for them, but Sean in particular, kept us informed and most importantly legally safe and protected at all times, we arrived legally exposed to our initial meeting, but we left it legally secure...Which makes us, Talbots clients forever in our opinion. Thanks to the whole team, but once again, especially Sean Isherwood, we will never forget what he did for us. Kind regards. PJN.

I can’t praise Sean & Amber enough.
Not my first rodeo with solicitors in regard to property, and they have to be the most responsive and proactive solicitors I’ve dealt with.
Responses to emails within a couple of hours (if not faster), if they didn’t know the answers they would find out, and majority of the time, still get in touch the same day.
They were never afraid of answering the phone either when needed, unlike 99% of most legal firms!
When Sean was on Annual Leave, Amber would pick our case up in his absence, and there was genuinely never a lapse in service.
From agreed sale to completion in 6 weeks, other conveyancing firms should take a leaf out of their book.
Perfect example of how modern soliciting should work, the days of sitting on your hands and waiting for emails is over, proactivity is key.

Using this company for the purchase of my property was possibly one of the worst decisions of my life.
Moving home is considered one of the most stressful experiences in life and this apparent professional company simply compounds this further.
Following what I thought would be the easier option in instructing this company to manage the conveyancing as they had worked with the estate agent on many occasions I felt confident this would be hassle free.
After instructing no contact whatsoever aside from various requests for upfront payments for work not being carried out and despite several calls the only phone answered was the complaints line and when I expressed my concerns to de-instruct I was instantly called by my conveyancer and assured they would improve communication. I gave benefit of doubt, this was my first mistake.
This was a new build property so no chain, very straightforward purchase, mortgage in place what could go wrong. I had one request and that was to complete by end of February or absolute latest 27th March, not a tall ask as property was built and we were in November/December.
Time moved on no contact, constant requests for updates from myself and estate agent which were met with silence. I called complaints again and instantly had emails requesting documents signed immediately.
Property signed off by house builder, no contact from conveyancer, chased them again after a week. They hadn't bothered to note this had happened and so had not actioned any tasks.
This cycle continued endlessly of chasing and no response only interjected by calling complaints line to move things along. As the weeks passed deadline day of end of Feb came and went. As we approached mid a week to go I was informed that if I did not pay their bill upfront prior to completion they would not process the sale, essentially blackmailing me into paying for their shocking service and distress. I had no choice. I had to complete or be homeless.
Day of completion arrives, Friday 27th March. Updates requested no response, silence. Have the monies been requested from mortgage company as they should have been? NO, why not? no response. Back and forth continued 17:20 on the Friday it completed. Now there is cutting it close and then there is this.
Months and months of disgraceful behaviour and if it wasn't for myself and the estate agent pressuring further months would have been added.
I implore anyone who is considering this company to avoid at all costs. You are just a number to them and no care or consideration. Greed has got the better of them and thinking that as a solicitor they can treat people with absolute distain is not going to wash anymore.
I have raised this as a complaint and they have admitted fault with some pathetic gesture of compensation. No chance I would accept, Legal Ombudsman is on the case and I look forward to finally putting this distressful experience behind me.

I had an excellent experience with Talbots Law. The service was professional, efficient, and highly supportive from start to finish.
A special thank you to Taiyab Bashir and Mahima Shazady, who were both incredibly responsive.

I had an excellent experience working with Nasiyr throughout the mortgage process. They were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive from start to finish. Every step was explained clearly, making what could have been a stressful experience much easier to navigate.
Their attention to detail ensured that all documents were handled accurately and on time, and they were always available to answer questions and provide guidance. I felt confident knowing that my interests were being protected throughout the transaction.
I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking legal assistance with a mortgage or property purchase. Their expertise, efficiency, and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Ethan Davis and Simratnoor Jagra
We had the pleasure of having Ethan as our solicitor, supported by Simratnoor, throughout the sale of our old home and purchase of our new one. They were excellent from start to finish. Both were highly knowledgeable, professional, and always prompt in responding to queries, reviewing documents, and keeping us updated.
We encountered a few issues along the way and needed advice on several occasions. Ethan always made time to speak with us, providing clear guidance and reassurance whenever we needed it. What stood out most was not only his expertise but also his understanding and genuine human approach, which made a real difference during the process.
We are very grateful for all their support and would definitely recommend Talbots Law based on our experience.

Service received from Amber Moulding and Sean Knight has been very good. They have responded to calls and queries promptly and both had a good overview of my case. Nothing was too much bother. Highly recommended.

I recently completed on a house using Talbots law. I found Lauren H, Emily W & Rachel N to be really helpful. As a first time buyer I didn’t know what to expect but they talked me through everything & provided me with frequent updates. I found the app helpful to see what was outstanding. The process went smoothly & I got the keys within 12 weeks. Thank you to the team would definitely recommend!

Very helpful and professional service. Excellent communication.

I used Talbots for 3 transactions; as I was looking to sell my flat, purchase the flat through a Limited Company, and then purchase a new house for myself!
I therefore had three solicitors; Jessica Hilditch (sale of flat, representing me), Shaye McKay (purchase of flat, representing the LC) and finally Cody Howes (purchase of new house, representing me).
Overall my experience was Talbots was great, team provided clear guidance and support with the transaction(s), and was flexibly in my timescales. They were also clear on the difficulties/challenges with the transactions that I was executing
The only negative that I experienced was at the start; where the two purchases were allocated out, however the sale of the flat took an additional ~3months before this was picked up. During this period, trying to get a clear understanding on what the blocker, turned out to be a challenge (however, I will mention that this was in December, so holidays did get in the way if I am honest).
However, once this was allocated, it was smooth sailing.
Would I make use of Talbots again in the future, or recommend them - Yes!

We recently used Talbots for the sale of a flat. Our solicitor Nick McCarthy provided an outstanding no-nonsense service. He was very knowledgeable and had our best interests at heart at all times. His communication skills were excellent with very speedy responses. We would have no hesitation in recommending them and indeed using their services again ourselves.
