Very pleased with the conveyancing service provided by Louise, Fran & the team, would have no concerns recommending them & would happily consider using them again in the future.

For the first time in 20+ years I needed to find a solicitor. After trying the usual suspects ie go-compare etc which were not as good as they say, I "went local" ie listed all local solicitors that allegedly had the skills & hit the phone. After almost a day wasted doing this ie difficult to get through, messages left, calls never returned, phones not even answered I was left with Smalleys (of Arnold). OK one more phone call before I went home - struck gold with a lovely lady called Purdey Laytham. Explained everything clearly, in language I could understand, kept it simple, quoted most competitive (& trustworthy) quote for the work, followed it up in writing via her email, always responded, & always there when I needed her. All in all, I was very disappointed with the overall responses from the legal profession's "front of desk" people. Some had a real "couldn't care less attitude. I wonder how much work those firms lost because of poor first contact. They all need a "Purdy Laytham" as a first responder - I bet she pulls in a lot of work just by being who she is - nothing too much trouble & always a smile in her voice. Thank you very much

Traceys team kept me up to date through the whole process of buying and selling. This is the second time I've used smalleys for conveyancing.
Any issues or clarifications were sorted quickly. Would definitely recommend!

We are very grateful to the Wills and Probate Team at Smalleys. They have guided us through the process of the Office of The Public Guardians, Lasting Power of Attorney application pack, with a clear and patient steady hand.
All facts were explained and covered, it made what could have been daunting into a manageable process.
Special thanks to Lynne and Deanne for their care, support and professional guidance.
We recommend this service to our family and friends.
Thank you Mark and Cathy B

Would like to thank Marcia and Katie for their friendly and helpful service in sorting out our amendments to our Wills. A very prompt service given by all the team involved. We found Marcia very informative and Katie very reassuring.

I would like to say a massive thank you to Tracey Gretton, Purdey, and the TG team for getting my house sale over the line.

I changed Solicitors during the House Sale because they were not helpful, but coming over to smalleys.

I initially dealt with Purdey, who was so supportive and helpful with a sensitive situation.

Tracey Gretton and TG team were a big help with getting this sale over the line on a tight deadline.

Ground floor room and could pull up right outside the front door in the car is perfect for my dad with mobility problems.
The whole team are excellent to work with.

Had an excellent experience with smalleys solicitors,
We recently purchased our home with help from Louise Mangham and Frances Matthews massive Thank you to you both !
As first time buyers the whole process was quite daunting as with anything if you have never done it before you really dont know what to expect. Louise and Fran was never too far away from the phone if I had any worries or queries, They guided me through the process with reassurance and Proffesionalism
Communication was fantastic and its the reason why I would definitely use Smalleys again as someone was always available to answer my questions or give me any advice at the other end of the phone.
So Genuinely happy with the service I received and massive Thanks again To Louise and Frances

We have had Excellent service from Louise and her team for our second house move in three years, very informative and helpful on both moves, would definitely recommend 😊

Setting up Lasting Power of Attorney for me and my wife, Marcia explained everything in detail including the role of attorneys. She was extremely helpfuil from initial contact on 24th September 2025 until the LPAs arrived, fully completed, on 11th February 2026. The registered paper LPAs have beern kept secure with our wills at Smalleys and Marcia has forwarded to us three certified copies should it become necessary to use them in the future. She even explained how to set up the LPAs online at www.gov.uk. So important to have these in place, so a big thank you to Marcia

We have had excellent customer service from Marcia and Katie with regards to our Wills and recently with Probate for a Relative. Everything was explained to us and we were kept up to date on the progress of the situation. Would definitely use Smalleys again.

I have had excellent support and service from Smalleys now, from two different teams. Most recently, Louise and her team dealt with all business in a very sensitive and efficient manner with a very good outcome. A huge thank you to you all!

I have just ended probate and two house sales all at the same time using Smalleys.I would like to thank Marcia and Tracey and their teams for a fantastic service.They have always been great at communicating throughout all the stages of a very difficult time.I would highly recommend using Smalleys anytime.

I have used Smalleys Solicitors twice in recent months. Helpful, friendly and made both processes stress free and reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

I would highly recommend this Company, I was recently faced with sorting a very delicate legal matter after the death of my husband. Deanne Taylor and her personal assistant Lynne Tomkins dealt with this for me. Their compassion and professionalism made, what was a very distressing time, so much easier. They were both very kind and knowledgeable, exactly what you need in these situations. Thank you both.

Very professional, quick and pleasant. Kept me informed all the way during making a will and change in land registration. Thank you Katie and Marcia.

Smalleys were the executors of my late aunts will. Did everything properly, completed in approximately one year after obtaining probate. Only contacted Smalleys once by phone, professional, helpful, courteous.
