My first house purchase wouldn't have happened without the help of my solicitors at Elliot Mather. I can't thank Matthew and Kiran enough for their help throughout the process; chasing up the other side, keeping things moving and always responding in good time to any queries I had through the process. In addition to this, they offered a ton of solid advice. There were a few quirks in the chain but I never felt overwhelmed, as Matthew always explained things clearly and always gave me an up-to-date picture of what was happening, which kept me (relatively) relaxed throughout the process Thank you all again

I can't praise the Conveyancing team enough. I've used Elliot Mather before & wouldn't use anyone else. In particular - Kiran & Steve are outstanding in their field, and took all the stress & worry out of the whole transaction. I never had to second guess anything. Their communication & service was outstanding. I highly recommend the Derby firm

The service we received from Elliot Mather was second to none - despite all the usual hiccups when moving house, they were completely on it throughout and it was such a massive help. Communication was prompt and informative, all questions were answered quickly and all loose ends followed up on diligently. Probably the best conveyancing service we've engaged in any house move, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use again in the future. Thank you
