“RIAA Barker Gilette came highly recommended from a colleague and they lived up my expectations. Every step of the process was handled with efficiency and a minimum of fuss.”

Martin Alfreds of RIAA Barker Gillette helped me get my dream home as a first-time solo buyer. Originally from a different country, I had no idea where to start, I’m also self-employed, and the property was newly converted, next to a river so there had to be a lot of legal questions asked and responses reviewed to ensure it was a safe buy. He always responded within hours to my emails, always picked up the phone and guided me through a process that otherwise would have been very painful. Highly recommend working with Martin. He and his team have been a pleasure to deal with. Gabriella”

“At the end of the day we paid a higher price than we had ben quoted by one other company but the strong recommendation from our friend and the fact that we live in another country led us to engage [RIAA Barker Gillette]. And we feel like we made the right choice.”

“I am very grateful for the helpful and efficient way in which [Laura Thurlow] guided me from start to finish through all the stages of buying my house. She was very prompt in getting back to me when I had questions and worries and would absolutely recommend her. Laura helped me previously with equity release and both experiences have had positive outcomes. I appreciated particularly that I could rely on her to get back to me quickly and resolve issues that came up. Excellent experience.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Martin Alfreds at Barker Gillette for his excellent service in handling the conveyancing for my recent property sale and purchase.

Having used solicitors in the past and not having a great experience, the whole process was a pleasant surprise. I was immediately put at ease by Martin’s friendly and professional manner. He took the time to explain the process to me in detail and answered all of my questions in a clear and concise way.

Martin was always available to answer my calls or emails, and he and the team always responded promptly. They kept me updated on the progress of the sale and purchase throughout, and they were always happy to go the extra mile to help me.

I was particularly impressed with Martin’s attention to detail. He made sure that all of the paperwork was completed correctly and were always on the lookout for any potential problems.

I would not hesitate to recommend Martin to anyone who is looking for a conveyancing solicitor. RIAA Barker Gillette is professional, efficient, and friendly. I am very grateful for their help in making my property sale and purchase a smooth and stress-free experience.”

Overall, I was very happy with the service I received from Martin and the team at RIAA Barker Gillette. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a conveyancing solicitor.”


Sharon, May 2023

“We first began to use your services back in June 2022 when selling our house and buying another. Our moving saga unfortunately lasted 10 months, and had it not been for Martin and his team, we would not have gotten through it. Martin and Ann were always at the end of the phone to reassure us and sort out our many, many problems that we had incurred. Martin especially was our rock and his dedication to getting our move done surpassed anything we would have expected. You are an amazing Solicitor with the ‘personal touch’ which is very rare these days.”
