Paul King, November 2023

“Our experience with RIAA Barker Gillette has quite frankly nothing short of exceptional. Martin Alfreds led as Solicitor for the purchase of our property. Efficient, proactive, responsive, diligent, everything you could hope and want from a Solicitor – but with the bonus of being a thoroughly pleasant personality to deal with. Martin was recommended to us by the Estate Agent, and we could not be more grateful. Faultless from start to finish.”

“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”

“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.”
