“I could not have been happier with the service provided by Martin. He went above and beyond throughout our property sale and purchase. During what was a very tricky time, Martin was our saviour! Professional, committed and positive at all times, I couldn’t recommend Martin and RIAABG more. I shall certainly be using the firm again.”

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”

Petra, June 2023

“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.”

Martin Alfreds and the team have been exceptional. Steering my husband and I through what was a truly draining process. Martin was always available to speak to us, giving reassurance where needed and honest advice throughout. Martin’s humour shone through and was always a light relief when stress levels were elevated. Highly recommend instructing Martin and the conveyancing team at RIAA Barker Gillette.”
