They are the most professional and thorough solicitors we have ever dealt with. Ours has been an extremely lengthy sale, with problems arising from the actual purchase many years ago. More than three solicitor companies were involved in solving the issues. John's leadership and Victoria's persistence finally paid off, and we completed last week. I couldn't thank Victoria enough, often emailing me in the evening to keep me updated, I'm sure after she had finished work. Top class and definitely worth recommending

My partner and I have just completed on our new house. We were first-time buyers and unsure what to expect. The reviews led me to John Donkin's services and when I called up to see if they were able to take on our purchase they were very responsive and informed us of the usual timeline.

We received communication from Lisa, Suzanne and most of all Victoria who handled our purchase. Victoria was great, having read and heard some horror stories from FTB's about their experiences (not from John Donkins) I could not recommend Victoria and the team enough.

When it came to the week of completion, the sellers solicitors had only given Victoria a short amount of notice that we would be able to complete on Friday. Victoria was clear and prompt in actioning everything that was needed. Including working late to help us get this over the line.

I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to go with Victoria and the team at John Donkin for their conveyancing needs!

Would absolutely recommend, Sarah Hurrell in particular, everyone I spoke with was lovely and patient when explaining, very happy with the quality of the work and have instructed the same firm to handle further legal work for me

We have used John Donkin on several occasions and could not be happier with the service. Quick communication and hot on resolving queries/ moving our sale or purchase on quickly. Never had to chase for an update. We will definitely work with them again. Hannah, Lisa and Victoria have been stars ⭐

Quite disappointed, rang up asking for help on a boundary issue only to be told not something they could help with.
