Report
Thank you for an excellent, simple, and clear service. This was my first home purchase, which went through smoothly, on time and budget. Throughout the property purchase I was supported, guided and understood everything thanks to the support of Mills Chody, especially Manisha who I spoke to often and provided exemplary support. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Report
I recently completed the transaction with the Kenton Road Branch using one of the partners. The sale almost did not complete after we exchanged so we would have been held liable for all the costs associated with the entire chain. The solicitor who is also the partner spent his entire time emailing questions, and problems around. Never made any phone calls to chase down things. He failed to act and advise on a critical change and ultimately almost single handily cause the sale to fail on completion day and spent his time blaming the lender, us and other solicitor rather than taking responsibility

I dealt with the Hatch End branch for conveyancing and Manisha was in charge of my case. She was nothing but meticulous, acting with great integrity and pace to make sure that the process could be completed as quickly as possible. She really listened and always felt she was looking out for us at each corner of a complex sale. Thanks Manisha!

We used Mills Chody LLP's Uxbridge Road Branch's conveyancing services to sell a house. They were very professional from the word go. Ms. Manisha Gadhia was on top of the situation proactively prompting us to complete the paper work, answering questions (eventhough we were overseas) and executing the conveyancing operation on time and successfully. Will be happy to recommend their services.
