This is my third property purchase with Shahn. Extremely professional and spot on keeps you updated throughout the entire process, always available to answer calls and emails, and ensures completion is done on time.

Shahn is the best solicitor I have used for a purchase. Also well priced in comparison to other firms who tried to have our eyes out. Also Shahn actually speaks to you over the phone and doesn’t just constantly refer you to an assistant and using the old non sense “im in a meeting excuse or” that other solicitors use.
Shahn’s also got a good responce time which has meant the sale has taken around 2 months. The last time we bought a property it took 6 months so much better this time around.
Shahn is certainly someone who deserves a large bonus or payrise. The property industry doesn’t have many people like Shahn in it.
A representative from Merritts Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 06 August, 2025:
Thank you for your fantastic feedback, Geno. We're delighted to hear Shahn provided such a responsive, personal, and efficient service. Your kind words mean a lot!

Shahn has dealt with our case. He has been very professional and smooth in the way he has worked. Most importantly he has done what he said he would do, returned calls and emails, had our best interests at heart.

I can not praise these solicitors enough. I used them for selling my house. The two solicitors involved where Rebecca Trotter and Beth Dennis. They where absolute superstars. Communication was excellent. Every email sent was answered quickly. They are both asset to this firm.

We went through here for the sale and purchase of our new property. Beth was particularly helpful and always happy to answer our questions. She got back to us quickly and always felt like we had support. Thank you!

Highly Recommend, myself and my husband have just used Alex to complete our house sale / move, we can’t thank Alex and his team enough. Everything from start to finish was great. On the day of completion we had a lot of stress due the solicitors on the other side, Alex went above and beyond to make sure we completed on that day even though it was cutting it very close. Once again we would just like to thank Alex & the rest of the team at Merritts for their support and their outstanding work. I would recommend Merritts to anyone who is looking to move / sell their house.

Five stars is not enough to rate our experience with Lucy Skelton at Merritts. She has been an amazing support to us dealing with our conveyancing. Very professional and always one step ahead of our buyers Solicitor. Lucy kept us informed of the process from start to finish and also explained things that we didn't understand. We cannot recommend this lady enough and wouldn't hesitate to contact her again if we were to buy or sell a property.
