Outstanding Service – Highly Recommend Emsleys Solicitors!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Emsleys Solicitors during the purchase of my house. Kathryn and Emma Miler went above and beyond throughout the entire process — their dedication, professionalism, and unwavering support were second to none.

They truly pulled everything out of the bag to ensure the contract exchange and completion happened smoothly and on time. Their customer-centric approach made a stressful process feel manageable and even enjoyable. I always felt informed, supported, and in very capable hands.

Kathryn and Emma were not only efficient and knowledgeable but also genuinely kind and understanding. Their responsiveness and attention to detail gave me real peace of mind during such an important milestone.

I would absolutely recommend Emsleys Solicitors to anyone looking for exceptional legal support, and I won’t hesitate to use their services again in the future.

Thank you again for everything

I contacted Emsleys about an employment settlement and was put in touch with Ikram. He was very professional and explained the process and when he could complete the settlement. During our meeting he went through the details of the settlement and duly signed it the same day. A very good reassuring and professional solicitor.

Excellent service and prompt service when we bought our house and they did the conveyancing. Everything went smoothly, professional and quickly. Julie was always on top of the situation and timelines agreed were met. A visit to the office to drop off paperwork was pleasant as well.

Good experience

We are really happy that we chose Emsleys Solicitors. Our circumstances made the moving process complicated and required a lot of work from our solicitor Ashleigh but she still managed to get us completed and into our new house before the stamp duty rise which was amazing.

Choose someone else. Choose anyone else.

Emsleys receive one star because they are officially still ongoing with the task assigned to them. That’s where it ends. I cannot give zero stars.
Two very simple wills – two deceased parents and three offspring to share the whole.

FOUR YEARS and still counting!

Do not expect communication.
Do not expect answers to questions.
Do not expect to speak with the same member of staff twice. I am not allowed to publish names here and so will not.
Do not expect common human decency.
Emsleys are a black hole where communication goes to die. When they decide to get in touch they will not be answering any questions that have actually been asked. Just white noise.
Paperwork is often ‘lost’, ‘misfiled’, or ‘just not received’. When chased up by the client – there is no communication.
In the East Leeds area there are masses of solicitors and estate agents. For your own sanity and your own well-being choose someone else, choose anyone else.

Review: Emsleys Solicitors

Emsleys Solicitors provided an exceptional service during my mortgage process. Their professionalism in dealing with clients is truly commendable. They maintained excellent communication with me and all involved parties, ensuring the process was smooth and stress-free.

Special thanks to Emma and the entire team in Leeds for their outstanding effort and dedication. Their commitment to delivering top-notch service exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Emsleys Solicitors for anyone in need of reliable and professional legal assistance.

Thank you Karen Davey and Poppy Walker…

Thank you Karen Davey and Poppy Walker — we purchased a flat in London using Emsleys for conveyancing and legal services (wills, declaration of trust). Karen and Poppy were attentive and helpful throughout. We particularly appreciated Karen’s forthrightness and her ability to manage pushy agents/vendors solicitors. We completed our purchase in 2 months and 2 days from making an offer on the property, and this would not have been possible without Karen’s hard work. Karen made us feel in control of the process from start to finish. Thank you Karen!

Using a solicitors which is not local to us was a concern but great communication helped guide us through what we needed to do. Everyone who we spoken or communicated with was really helpful and was prepared to explain things to us.
A massive thank you to Kathryn, you are amazing.
