Lianne Shaw

Lianne Shaw, my conveyancer, was absolutely amazing. She was not only incredibly thorough but communicated brilliantly and was very friendly which was hugely appreciated in a stressful situation for me. The whole process was very smooth. I would highly recommend her and am very grateful.

Great service

Martyn Prowel Gartsides dealt with a property transaction for me. I'm really happy with the service received. Courtney and Mark were efficient and kept me updated throughout.

Concerned

I am a dismayed with the litagation depart.. Please note i am a 76 year old disabled OAP on PIPS. I would hope the depart. has the expertise to deal with rogue cowboys, tradespeople , builders?
I have had a nightmare over a goverment grant ,tax payers money £ for vunuable people, I am tramatised!
The Solictor has milked me over £2,000 just to writ traival letters. No mention of the Disability Act or the Freedom of Information Act!
Now wants £2,000 up front for a so called Barrister opinion?
I am not inpressed- dissatisfied.
P.S When I had to see the Solicitor , I was in great pain due to a franctured right shoulder , had brought a heavy bundle of House Deeds , and had done a long train journey not even offered a glass of water.

Don’t respond to new business emails

Don’t respond to new business emails. Main phone line engaged tone, no facility to leave voicemail. Not what I expect from a multi practice solicitor. Apology offered yet no urgency to rectify and couldn’t get off the phone to me quick enough. Disappointing.

Fast, informative and no need to chase!

I rarely do reviews but Mark Evans at Martin Prowel Gartsides Solicitors deserves a massive 10/10.

My daughter recommended him after buying her first house which Mark managed to complete in an unbelievable 4 weeks!

Mark is very informative, communicates regularly, does not need chasing and is always on the case. Our sale took a more realistic (but still quick) 2 months to complete.

I would highly recommend Mark Evans at Martin Prowel Gartsides Solicitors.

I was told Martyn Prowel Gartsides thought they could help me with a professional negligence claim that got me drowning in debt through ill advice. They charged me £300 and said they couldn’t help me. Two previous solicitors didn’t charge me - did the decent thing. I don’t know how these people can sleep at night doing this to people

Elise Stark was unbelievable through the whole process

I dealt with Elise Stark on buying my property and it’s fair to say she was with me through the whole way. From the very beginning to the the completion day she was always at hand to contact me and talk me through the process, even dumbing things down for me when I didn’t understand. Would highly recommend using Martyn Prowel Gartsides and Elise Stark. I will definitely be using them again.

Tracey was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgable. She helped Sonia and Graham Jackson from start to finish. She was very thorough and guided us every step of the way. Many thanks Tracey and thank you Martyn Prowel. Mrs and Mrs Jackson

Highly recommend

Rhian is a highly skilled professional, who is friendly, compassionate and very approachable. Her support and advice through our complex applications of Court of Protection, and then Grant of Probate, was second to none.
Rhian took time to listen to our thoughts and concerns, and provided timely and clear advice, both face to face, and via emails. From start to end the applications could not have been completed more efficiently.
I would highly recommend Rhian, and Martyn Prowel and Gartsides solicitors.

Grant of probate…

Rhian Vaughan dealt with my application for grant of probate. I can’t believe it could have been done any more efficiently, totally hassle free.

Newport branch brilliant

Jessica and Kayleigh at the Newport branch were brilliant. Phone calls/emails were answered quickly and I was kept informed regularly regarding my property purchase. I would definitely recommend Martyn Prowel Solicitors to anyone else selling or buying a property in Newport. Thanks.
