After lots of unprofessional experiences from other conveyancers, Gemma and Nerissa have been a joy to work with. So easy to get hold and and working with me, rather than against me like I've experienced in the past. I've used them now for I think 3 or 4 purchases and remortgages since mid 2023. I wouldn't hesitate on recommending them to others.

We had the pleasure of working with this practise while selling my parents home and also purchasing a new home. Gemma and Nerissa were extremely professional and efficient and kept us informed with every decision. They worked well with the Estate agents and other solicitors making both transactions as stress free as possible. Their pricing structure was very competitive with no hidden costs and gave us the confidence to move forward. We would have no hesitation in highly recommending this practice and thank them both so much for helping us to navigate through a very difficult time.

The sale of our property was not without its stressors, but Gemma, Peter and Nerissa the receptionist were amazing! The team showed understanding and provided accurate legal advice which reduced our anxiety, leading to a prompt, seamless sale. The location of the premises and being able to speak with Gemma when required was a huge support. We will be forever grateful for being connected to such a professional team. Thank you. November 2023

Highly recommend these solicitors. They have been superb from start to finish with my house sale and my purchase. They were so clear with everything and nothing was left out from their service to make my experience stress free. The solicitors would communicate so well with me and the ladies in the office were always friendly and polite and always knew what they needed from a complete novice like myself Claire April 2024

We had a married couples Wills prepared by Gemma and her team, after we received such professional service during an earlier conveyancing instruction. Our faith in the team at Peter Maughan & Co was justified, as we were able to complete the process entirely remotely, as we live overseas, without any fuss. We had put off this important task as we believed it to be troublesome but we're proven wrong by the ease that Gemma and her team made it. If I should need legal services again, I would have no hesitation in consulting with Peter Maughan & Co first. Simon May 2024

The firm acted for me on the sale of a complex, multi-title country estate. Gemma, a Director of the firm, was my Solicitor supported by an excellent administrative and conveyancing team. I was kept updated throughout, the inevitable delays and hurdles were navigated expertly and when advice was required I found Gemma to be both good on the technical detail, but also commercially and pragmatically minded. I would highly recommend this firm, and Gemma Owens in particular, to anyone with a high-value or complex conveyancing matter. Stephen June 2024
