We had a very professional service from Louise and Hannah. Everything went smooth sailing and will be happy to do business with Knights Professional Services again in our next projects.

I had a great experience working with Knights who I found to be very communicative keeping me informed every step along the way. They were happy to talk me through parts of the process that I wanted to better understand and I had confidence in everything they were doing on my behalf.
I would definitely use the team again.

I challenged Rachel (Byles) to close this purchase within 4 weeks on the run to Xmas. Not only did she and Knights achieve this they did a thoroughly professional job and were demanding on my behalf to offer the necessary protection
Great job
Thanks

I can only give a very positive review for Knights Solicitors. Unfortunately l don't live in the UK, but without having to fly over, Knights handled everything very professionally and were an unbelievable help for me living so far away. Very friendly, helpful and very professional, they were a great help to me in my difficult time...... a million thanks to all at Knights, especially to Jordan Oakes and Zoe Parry!

Nam at knights took over our conveyancing after knights bought the solicitors we chose mid-way through our process. He continued the process seamlessly and of anything accelerated it with his excellent communication. Couldn't have been happier with him towards the end of the process, very available on the phone and responsive to emails.

We have worked with Rachael Billam and her team for 11 flat sales over the past 2 years. We have been extremely happy with their professionalism, friendly communication and the speed at which they work. They regularly update you on costs incurred and progress of the sale and always respond to emails and phone calls quickly and politely. We definitely would recommend them to anyone who requires their services.

I instructed Knights for two significant family matters over 2022-2023, paying over £60,000 in legal fees. Originally they estimated about £20k. While the legal work was competent, the way they handled billing and debt collection was deeply disappointing.
After informing them in June 2023 that I could no longer afford to continue due to financial hardship, I later disputed a final invoice. Despite four separate requests over several months for an itemised breakdown - standard professional courtesy - Knights refused to provide one until I was forced into court proceedings.
The itemised bill was eventually provided within court papers. This meant litigation was necessary simply to obtain information I was entitled to as a client.
Following judgment, I received no written notification and proactively contacted both Knights and the Court trying to establish payment details. Despite this, High Court Enforcement was instructed, adding £414 to a £968 dispute.
For a firm that had already been paid £60,000+, pursuing aggressive debt collection against a client who had clearly communicated vulnerability and was actively trying to pay felt unnecessarily punitive.
I expected better from a firm of Knights' standing. If you're considering instructing them, get fixed quotes in writing and monitor costs closely - mine tripled from the original estimate.

Rachael, Dagmara and the rest of the team at Knights handled our recent purchase of a house in York with professionalism, kindness and amazing attention to detail. Throughout the entire process, all of our questions were answered and we were kept updated despite a significant time difference. We won't hesitate to use them again and you shouldn't think twice! Thanks again everyone!

Jamie and Saskia are outstanding in their professionalism and attention to detail. They communicated clearly throughout the process, explained every step in plain language, and handled my sale efficiently. Their friendly approach made the process easier and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable legal support.

Rachel Byles of Knights in Newcastle under Lyme acted for me on a probate sale of my mother’s house. She was very efficient, professional and proactive through-out, despite the other solicitors involved being very slow and failing to communicate. I would certainly recommend her. You might pay more for the service but it is worth it. It’s unfortunate that not everyone operates in the same way which can mean that the process is still stressful.

Knights were able to step in after we were let down by previous solicitors 6 weeks into our purchase. Our solicitor Sarah-Louise was informative, friendly, helpful and communicative throughout and she managed to get us over the line by Christmas despite the initial delays by the previous solicitor. Fee wise it is much more expensive than other companies hence 4 stars not 5, but in fairness we got a very good service and timely completion was the end result. Would highly recommend

Louise and her team helped us sell a flat with lease issues and then the purchase of a building plot and a associated development plan.She was brilliant at guiding us through all the complexities that were involved and at finding solutions to any issues that arose during the process.She responded quickly to emails and phone calls which was very reassuring for us and gave us the confidence to get the deal completed.

The team at Knights made a tricky house sale for an elderly relative a much smoother experience than expected. Despite a few issues getting communication back from our freeholder in a timely manner, the Knights team showed great tenacity and persistence in delivering the sale on time. Thank you so much.

First class service …. Expedited the sale of my home and purchase of my new home with commitment and efficiency. Despite the complexity involved it was managed by Chris Brierley and his team with the utmost care and attention to detail. He took time to ensure I understood the nuances of the contract which was extremely helpful.

This is the absolute worst law firm in the universe. This lousy firm has proven to be the most incompetent group of liars in the world. The handling of my grandmothers estate has been horrendous ...
