Excellent service for the 3rd time. Can't fault them.

This is the 3rd time we have used Eric Robinson's conveyancing services and second time with Sajith Pillai as our solicitor to complete our sale and purchase. We have been even more impressed this time around and Sajith worked tirelessly and meticulously. Our sellers solicitors were really slow and our agents were equally as poor in supporting the process so Sajith really worked hard to get all the necessary details but always with our best interests and needs at the centre. Their online portal also made everything really easy in terms of sharing documents and providing signatures. This meant there was minimal disruption to our busy working lives but also our family life with 2 young children. We don't want to move again but if we needed to, we wouldn't hesitate to use Eric Robinson again. Thank you!

slow in the beginning, excellent otherwise

The solicitor was very slow to respond in the beginning and there was a distinct possibility of losing the sale at one point because of this. I received reasons for the slow response.
After this poor start the solicitor was excellent and responded extremely quickly to any queries, and the sale went through without any further glitches.
I would recommend

Good service
It's been a long time since we have needed a conveyancing solicitor so everything is now done online which was very efficient. We didn't ever meet our solicitor Sarah, but the communication was on the whole prompt and knowledgeable and we completed within 12 weeks. It was a cash sale with no chain.

I just bought my first home

I just bought my first home, and Angela Payne helped me. I could not be happier all around with both the purchase, and the service that Angela provided me. Her attention to detail saved me in a few instances, and her timely, professional, and accurate handling of my purchase was just fantastic. I am over the moon with this commitment, and I don't think I could have done it without Angela. I highly recommend her for your legal needs, and will use her again if/when the time comes.

To wrap up the family estate after the death of my mother was a daunting prospect. Mostly because I live over 100 miles away. My parent's wills were lodged with Eric Robinson. Sarah handled the sale of our family home. It is obvious that they have a good working relationship with the chosen estate agents.
I was kept informed of proceedings and I was able to be involved more closely with the estate agents.
Not once did I have to travel to Eric Robinsons, or spend hours sorting any issues. All was handled in a professional and confident manner. Sarah's assistant Megan was always very helpful when I phoned for help. Nothing was too much trouble.

Excellent service

Eric robinson solicitors were excellent. We used their services to complete our house purchase. All thanks to the amazing work done by Sajith Pillai, who made sure all searches were done in time. His attention to detail and work ethic is highly commendable. We are very happy with the whole process and would recommend them without any doubt. Thanks again Sajith!

I had the pleasure of working with Chui-Wah

I had the pleasure of working with Chui-Wah for the conveyancing of both the sale of my home and the purchase of a new property, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service she provided. From start to finish, Chui-Wah was incredibly efficient, professional, and displayed a high level of skill and expertise that gave me complete confidence throughout the entire process. She handled every detail with care, ensuring that everything progressed smoothly and on time. Her communication was excellent, keeping me informed every step of the way, and her ability to navigate any challenges with ease was truly impressive. I am so grateful to have had Chui-Wah representing me, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a solicitor for a house sale and purchase. Making what can often be a stressful process feel seamless!

I would like to give a big thank you to Angela Payne for all her help with a difficult property sale. Angela had to deal with difficult solicitors and housing associations. Angela was very helpful and professional while being very approachable. Would recommend her and Eric Robinsons.

I recently purchased a house through Eric Robinson, and I found Sajith to be highly professional and supportive throughout the entire process. He consistently involved us in each step and provided valuable guidance. While there may be other options available with lower fees, I highly recommend Sajith if you prioritize peace of mind.

We were recommended Eric Robinsons…

We were recommended Eric Robinsons solicitors to deal with the conveyancing/ sale of my home.

I would not recommend Solicitor Hannah Jones, as she behaved in a very unprofessional manner from the start towards myself.
Loosing or mislaying important documents sent to her, requesting additional copies at my expense on several occasions.
This lead to her refusing to correspond at all with me throughout the 6 months it took to complete the house sale.
She ignored all my calls and never responded to my emails.

Hannah Jones behaviour caused me so much anxiety and stress which I’ll never forget, so rude and unprofessional and totally incompetent in my experience.
If you want a quick sale by a professional solicitor I’d steal clear of Hannah Jones.

Thank you for your review.

We are disappointed to receive such a review as we place great importance on client service and are proud to have 100s of 5* reviews.

We note that you personally did not instruct this firm and were not our client in respect of this transaction.

This is primarily the reason why Ms Jones was unable to correspond with you.

We must take great care to only act on the instructions of our client and to protect the confidentiality of our clients. We are therefore restricted on what information can be given to third parties.

We appreciate that a conveyancing transaction can be stressful, and we do all that we can to facilitate a smooth process not only for our client but all those involved.

We do not agree that the comments left in your review accurately represent the facts and refute that the lawyer handling the matter acted unprofessionally or in a discourteous manner.

Further, we note that our client was happy with the service provided by the firm and the lawyer handling the case.

I am, however, sorry that, as a third party, your expectations were not met but I do believe that this was beyond our control when acting in the best interests of our client.

Appalling - Never again.

Appalling - Eviction case
Legal work not up to the level they charge.
Female lawyer who didn't even turn up to Court!!
Sympathy and professionalism - 2/10.
I asked the managers to review her conduct and of course they didn't agree so I paid and left.
Ended up using someone else.
Would not use this firm again.

Thank you for your review.

Feedback is very important to us as our primary objective is to provide an excellent service to our clients, and we can learn from shared experience and feedback.

As you will know, we also provide a robust complaints procedure which again provides opportunity to address concerns raised and, where necessary, provide a solution.

We note that you engaged with our complaints procedure and that you did not agree with our conclusion that service levels did not fall below a reasonable standard.

A comprehensive review of your complaint was conducted, and our reply (6 pages) did not report any fault in the legal advice provided or the way in which it was presented by the solicitor handling the matter who is a polite and courteous individual.

We are however sorry that our service was not what you had hoped for. We do set out to provide an excellent service and usually this is achieved as demonstrated by the positive feedback left by the vast majority of our clients.

Excellent Solicitor


Sajith Pillai acted as my conveyancing solicitor for buying my property, he provided great support and completed all the necessary checks in short time. He checks everything and raise it to concerned parties for the clarification. He communicated every bit of information to me in detailed manner and it is very easy to understand. He helped us in understanding the process well and always available to clarify my doubts, I am very happy with his service provided to us. I would definitely recommend him. Thank you Sajith :)

Outstanding service provided by Angela and Eric Robinson

Angela Payne acted as my conveyancing solicitor for the sale of my property and throughout the entire process, the service she provided was outstanding!

From initial appointment and through to completion, communication was both clear and prompt, enabling me to make informed decisions.

At times, where the transaction was being frustrated by the other party to the sale, Angela always made herself available for a phone call, providing both reassurance and soundboarding on ideas on how to keep the transaction moving forward, whilst maintaining a friendly and professional manner at all times. I felt confident that she was acting in my best interests.

Angela is an excellent representative of Eric Robinson, and I am very grateful for the services she provided and would highly recommend.

Great at billing their time, but not good service

We used this company for a dispute. After a few months, we decided to change company due to their slow response times, unclear advice and double billing of time. What I mean by double billing is this: Some emails came in to them that just needed forwarding on to us. They were typically attachments or one line emails. We got billed one "minimum billable period" for them to 'receive' an email, and then another for them to hit the forward button. 12 minutes billed for 1-2 minutes work. Sounds small? That's £60 to get an email forwarded, and it was their standard practice.

Shortly after complaining our solicitor completed a load of work against our instructions and billed us for it.

We disputed the bill, and the ombudsman eventually agreed with us that the double billing was not within their T&Cs but unfortunately would not intervene on the subjective element of the uninstructed work.

What would a company do at that point? Hang their head in shame at the double billing? No. Having spent £5K with them to get nowhere, they are currently threatening us with court action for the outstanding £1K bill.

Experienced Residential Conveyancing Solicitors

I had the pleasure of working with Eric Robinson Solicitors for the purchase of my home, and I am extremely satisfied with the service provided.
Mr Sajith Pillai was highly professional, efficient, and kept me informed every step of the way.
They made the typically stressful and complex process of buying a home feel seamless and easy. I would strongly recommend Eric Robinson Solicitors to anyone seeking a residential conveyancing solicitor.
Thank you.
