I used this company of solicitors as it was part of the free will writing service via a charity organisation. The charity suggests a gift to them is left in your will but this is voluntary.
I met with Melodie Hickey who was very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable regarding my personal situation and also advised re a conveyancing issue which was related to my case. I have been very satisfied with the service received, thank you.
A representative from Elliot Mather LLP responded to this review on 14 August, 2025:
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you were very satisfied with the service you received through the free will writing service. It is wonderful to know that Melodie was friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable, and that she was able to assist you with both your will and a related conveyancing issue. Best regards, Elliot Mather

Property purchase July 2025
You hear horror stories about how stressful buying a house can be, and that in the hands of the wrong solicitor, there can be horrendous delays and complications. However, I'm happy to say that Carmen at Elliot Mather - and her colleagues - was absolutely the solicitor you want on the case! Efficient and competent throughout, sorting things out speedily, with the result that completion took place less than 3 months after offer was accepted. A very positive experience throughout.
A representative from Elliot Mather LLP responded to this review on 01 August, 2025:
Thank you for sharing your experience, Julie. We’re delighted to hear that Carmen and the team provided efficient, competent, and timely support throughout your house purchase.

Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we’re here to assist you with any future legal needs.

Review for Elliot Mather LLP
I didnt have to chase them that much - they were pretty proactive in keeping me updated.
I was unhappy that I was promised a reduction in price when I was represented for the 2nd time - but only realised very late that the reduction was time sensitive ( a very short time indeed - and my view was that it was a marketing stance they had employed when they knew that noone would ever finish a purchase in such a short time).
A representative from Elliot Mather LLP responded to this review on 28 July, 2025:
Hi Rodger. Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found our team proactive in keeping you updated throughout the process. We apologise for any confusion regarding the price reduction offer and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We strive to ensure clear communication about any time-sensitive terms and will review our processes to improve transparency for future clients.

Can’t speak highly enough of Carmen. A great conveyancer who was a pleasure to deal with and always easy to get hold. She was efficient and took care of our house buy excellently. Use Carmen and Eliot Mather with confidence.

We were first time buyers with no chain and the sellers also had no chain. It should have been a fairly smooth transaction but it took almost 6 months to complete. We watched with growing frustration as other people around us purchased houses moved in months before us. Apart from a delay due to probate I would attribute most of the delays to Elliot Mathers poor handling and organisation.They are unprofessional, dishonest and arrogant at times. Multiple times myself and our estate agent caught them out with conflicting stories on why things were taking so long. The draft contract sat in their inbox for 3 weeks until we realised that the only way to get any action was to repeatedly phone and hassle them every week. Their communication skills are awful and many times I was told I would get a call back or an email and never did. They also had an email account from which they sent emails but claimed the inbox was full so if you reply, it won't get read. This was proven to be true multiple times as both our estate agent and the sellers solicitor had issues contacting them as well as myself. Three times I had to send proof of funds. The first time I sent it via email to which they did not respond. Then I sent it by post as a signed delivery only to be told they had not received it. I sent it a third time by email before they acknowledged it. I appreciate that times are very busy and they are managing many accounts but it does not excuse poor customer service or bad attitudes. They missed 2 completion dates that were set and as first time buyers it made us very anxious and fearful that the sale might fall through. Elliot Mather did nothing to put our minds at ease and never apologised or admitted any fails on their part even when challenged with evidence. If this was a chain I have no doubt it would have collapsed and I feel bad for anyone who might be renting and have specific dates they need to work to. These people are unreliable and unprofessional and most likely you would end up extending your rental contract and being out of pocket. Buying your first home is supposed to be an exciting time but for us it became so stressful it took away from our joy because of how badly it has been handled. I am surprised we made it to completion.
