Jo and her team are very attentive, thorough and communicate well throughout every step of the process. Very professional and
make what could be a challenging process relatively easy. My thanks go to the team.
Jo and her team guided me through the process extremely well and made it very easy for me. The whole
legal side was handled efficiently and was trouble free. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
I couldn't have asked for a more professional and friendly experience, both Jo and Mandy listened to any questions or
worries I had and dealt with them quickly and efficiently. Would not hesitate to use again.
Always someone aknowledgeable vailable to talk to at the office, which is local-ish to me, very little time needed from
me to manage the property sale, good degree of flexibility shown when the sale fell through and a new buyer was found.
Joe and Mandy have been amazing and are always there to support us. They are quick to respond and always
friendly and approachable. Would highly recommend.
Jo Martin is most excellent when it comes to all matters related to property selling or buying. Jo is thorough
with her searches. Her team is also great at providing regular updates on how things are progressing. It has been a pleasure dealing with Jo and her team.
Both Jo and her assistant Mandy were incredibly responsive and understood what we needed. They balanced time sensitivity without rushing.
Overall a pleasure to work with.
Warm welcome in person from Mandy and Wendy. Support in a stressful situation. Quick to respond to questions and making
sure that the case kept moving forward to completion. Thanks very much.
I felt handheld since the very first moment, precise and objective guidance, pragmatic progress and an obvious very successful result
' all achieved well ahead of initially planned deadline ' superb.
Jo Martin and Mandy Hinton make an excellent team, they are very quick to respond to questions and the speed
at which they worked for this house sale and purchase was brilliant. I really would recommend them to everyone.
Jo is responsive, organised, clear and friendly. She listened to our queries, set out her advice with clarity and was
quick to respond to emails, calls etc. she did this in a relaxed but professional manner and I would highly recommend her.
Excellent service and communication from experienced, knowledgeable staff. Jo Martin and Mandy Hinton were brilliant and enabled a very smooth
house move. We would highly recommend.
Jo Martin has dealt with several buy and sells for me. She has dealt very well with all of them
even when things have not gone smoothly. Excellent communication skills and 100 percent efficient,. Always felt I could rely on her. Mandy was great too.
A very patient solicitor, who sorted problems out when we changed our mind about a house purchase mid conveyance. Really
excellent service from Jo Martin, whom we felt was really 'on our side'. Thank you so much.
Timely and efficient. Too many solicitors need to be chased by the clients. I only needed to do this once,
and the reply was quick and clear as to the hold up. Very good.
Jo Martin kept me up to date with the Variation of Deed process which was quite trying at times with
the current freeholder and his conveyancer taking a long time to provide information. I recommend Jo and a shout to her assistant Mandy Hinton.
Communication was very clear and consistent so I was aware of the progress being made and the next steps required.
Also I got very quick and helpful responses to any queries I had.
We had very short timescales, 4 weeks to do the house conveyancing. My brother was in Canada and I was
on holiday in Jordan. I was very impressed that it was all pulled together on time with these barriers to communications. Easy to communicate by email and phone when required.
I have bought and sold properties using Jo Martin for several years and she is unfailingly efficient, helpful and accessible.
She is aided by the very efficient Mandy Hinton.
I have been a client of Jo's for over 5 years and she is consistently excellent. She is accessible, responsive,
measured and knowledgeable. Mandy provides sterling support. I have no hesitation in instructing Jo again or recommending her to others.
We have had lots of communication and legal issues dealt with very professionally over the years. Have recommended Jo Martin
to lots of friends over the years. Excellent service. First class.
Jo and Mandy did the conveyancing for us and we very professional and got the work done on time. Jo
answered all our questions and gave really good advice.

Jo and Mandy were on hand to advise from the very start of the process of selling our house. Both
have been very responsive whenever we've communicated (not my previous experience with a different solicitor) and I felt they were very much working with my interests in mind. Excellent service !
