Martin Tolhurst Solicitors Reviews 

Martin Tolhurst were excellent every step of the way. We had two instructions that fell through, but they had no qualms about taking us on again and it was 3rd time lucky for us. The communication was always good and they were really on the ball. Highly recommended!

As a first time purchaser, Martin Tolhurst Solicitors were a joy to use. It could have been quite daunting otherwise. From an initial letter in late June, to the appointment as my Solicitors on 23 July 2024 until completion, so pleased with the work done on my behalf.

Solicitor, Lesley and Legal Secretary, Alicia were both excellent. Even when I had made a mistake or found a document a little daunting, I had a proverbial helping hand.

I would definitely use the company again in the future.

I was sceptical at first using Martin Tolhurst as had been recommended to use them through my estate agent, but they have been fantastic from start to finish. Everything has been actioned swiftly and professionally, and we’ve been kept up to date the whole time. The team were so efficient it made the other solicitors in the chain look poor. Our solicitor took the extra time to talk us through things that were new to us, which was greatly appreciated. Thank you for making a stressful process much easier!

A very professional & excellent service received by the team at Martin Tolhurst Solicitors in Sittingbourne.
They ensured my property sale went through as smoothly & promptly as possible. Even if the person you were dealing with was unavailable there was always someone there to move things forward, not just palm you off! Help was always at hand straight away to answer any questions & put my mind at rest.
I couldn't rate Martin Tolhurst Solicitors any higher & truly recommend them if you want hassle free conveyancing.
Thanks to all involved in my case in particular Danny, Emily & Danielle!!!

Fantastic solicitors at Martin Tolhurst I had Kirsty working on my case helping me with the purchase of my first home.

Kirsty was brilliant she was very quick to reply to emails or if she was not available one of her colleagues would in her place. Very professional and very helpful especially when I had a few questions to ask as being my first time I was a little unsure, Kirsty guided me through the process with ease.

Overall my experience with Martin Tolhurst was very good I highly recommend them for purchasing a property.

I had an excellent experience in appointing Martin Tolhurst Solicitors for my recent property conveyancing requirements. Jane Williams and her team looked after me very well and I felt regularly informed throughout the process.

As ever Martin Tolhurst has delivered! After using this firm for various conveyancing services on buying and selling commercial and residential property, it made no sense to look elsewhere for assistance with will planning. Sarah and the team at Longfield were swift and diligent in drawing up a joint will for my wife and I, which in turn was finalised and arranged within the week.

Martin Tolhurst Solicitors were recommended to us by Wards when we were in the process of selling a property.
We had good communication via Wards initially; the searches were made and we were notified of each search being completed. Document requests and queries were smooth transactions. Nearing exchange we pushed for more direct communication and I have to say that from the Martin Tolhurst side of things, Sonya Perkins was brilliant with efficient phone calls and information regarding the exchange and completion dates. I think communication is imperative when completing such a stressful life event. We had no chain, the buyers were first time buyers and we were not buying, a simple buy and sell but it still took 4 and a half months. Be prepared for how long these things can take.

We instructed Sarah from Martin Tolhurst to deal with the application for Probate and estate distribution following my father-in-law's passing earlier this year. We have been very happy with Sarah's work and support. She, and her colleagues, have been very helpful through the whole of this process. Estate distribution has now been completed and we are more than happy with the service provided.

Great service at a difficult time. Phone calls were returned quickly and explanations were clear and very helpful. Thank you so much!

I cannot recommend Martin Tolhurst Solicitors enough. We lost our first buyers and when we sold again shortly after, Stacey worked above and beyond to keep chasing on our behalf. They were most accommodating, especially if there was something we didn't quite understand. They were prompt in replying to phone calls or emails, I couldn't wish for a better experience.

Excellent and efficient. Great communication and always answered calls and emails.

It was my first time buying a new house. I need professional solicitors to help me on the way. Martin Tolhurst did that! They were honest with their estimated fees, and good level of service. Anything I asked for legally, they provided, and they suggested documents that I never thought of. Thank you for help. I would recommend them to anyone.

Kirsty at the Gillingham branch was superb in helping convey both our sale and purchase and was very quick to respond to any queries and actions. She really helped to keep both sale and purchase on track and helped to manage our buyer's solicitors (Martin Tolhurst Ashford) who did not seem to be so experienced. This is the only reason for the reduction of one star given this feedback is for Martin Tolhurst overall. The buyer's solicitors did regularly request information that was already provided to them and did not seem as proactive or quick to respond as the Gillinaham branch. For example, full hyperlinks were shared to planning documents which were subsequently forwarded as part of a scanned document but the Ashford branch claimed they were not able to open the links as they couldn't "click" on the link. They could easily have spent an extra minute or two to type out the hyperlink but instead delayed proceeding by 3 to 4 weeks by sitting on the issue before responding to inform us some enquiries were still outstanding due to them not being able to access the "shared" planning documents.

Overall, an exceptional experience and service provided by Kirsty and the team at the Gillingham branch. The Ashford branch may need some additional support or training to get to the same level as the Gillinham branch.

As first time buyers, we were recommended Martin Tolhurst by Wards. MT were friendly and they understood any concerns and worries we had trying to get everything sorted. My only problem was, there was a lot of paperwork coming through, and sometimes no explanation of what needed to happen, especially if I had missed something on the documents. And a lot of the times, I was sent repetitive documents, which has wasted a lot of printer ink and paper trying to keep it all together. It has taken from May to September to get our house, it's taken a while, and we had no chain either.

Really good experience with timely correspondence.

Amanda (solicitor)was brilliant,She guided me along on the technical issues on the sale of my property,and made it easy with my paperwork to complete,my Wife and I would like to say thankyou for all your hard work with this sale kind regards Mr & Mrs Canning.

Thank you to Hannah for her services! Hannah was excellent in assisting me in negotiating a property purchase price with an unreasonable and disgruntled ex partner, she dealt with all matters in a very professional and precise way, she was extremely thorough and showed patience with all of my queries. I would highly recommend Hannah Stanford!

Dealt with Kirsty @ Gillingham for a property sale as Power of Attorney. Buyer had no property to sell, we had no property to purchase. Both parties used Martin Tolhurst Solicitors, albeit different offices, as part of an arrangement with Wards Estate Agents. Instructed on 25 July and sale completed on 27 August. An efficient, professional & quick experience which is much appreciated.

Sarah at Martin Tolhurst was always on hand to answer questions during a very difficult time when sorting out my late father's estate. She was particularly patient and understanding when faced with the problems caused by family members who did not always agree. Would definitely recommend!
