Sam was extremely knowledgeable, efficient and sensitive during the sale of our late father's estate at auction. We felt supported and guided through this very emotional time. I would highly recommend Knights Professional Services.
I purchased a property at auction with the usual 29 days for completion. I was fortunate to work with Emma Walker-D'Cruze for this matter and couldn't recommend her and her associates enough. The process was completed seamlessly with constant communication and availability and willingness to help as well as going above and beyond
I cannot thank Matthew Handley enough for everything he has done for me during one of the most difficult periods of my life.
My divorce was extremely complex and emotionally exhausting, involving a very powerful opponent and significant financial matters. Before finding Matthew, I had a deeply disappointing experience with another highly regarded London law firm and had almost lost faith in the legal profession altogether.
Everything changed when Matthew took over my case.
Despite being based in Manchester while I am in London, Matthew was more present, responsive, and committed than any London-based solicitor I had previously worked with. He was constantly on top of every detail, incredibly strategic, calm under pressure, and completely dedicated to protecting my interests. During urgent periods, he even worked evenings, weekends, and through the Christmas holiday period to ensure my position was protected.
Matthew also introduced me to an outstanding barrister, Tara Lyons, and together they made an exceptional team. For the first time during my divorce, I felt genuinely represented, supported, and strategically guided.
The only thing I regret is not finding Matthew and his team earlier. I truly believe my case would have been very different had I instructed them from the beginning.
I would recommend Matthew without hesitation to anyone needing outstanding legal representation.
I would like to thank Helen Page of the Family Law team at Knights in York for her excellent and extremely professional service.
I was blind-sided to obtain legal representation in relation to a separation of assets.
The deadline enforced on me was extremly tight but Helen was brilliant.
Thanks to Helen I was able to comply with their request well within their deadline.
I used Knights PLC for a lease extension for my maisonette. I had an initial conversation with Ian Peach and he gave me a full and fair assessment for my situation. When I later proceeded with the lease extension Ian, Samantha, and their colleagues were attentive and communicated well throughout the process. They were proactive and supportive, guiding me through what ultimately became a challenging process as a result of other parties. The service was excellent and should I require any further legal services that fall within the remit of Knights PLC in the future then I would contact them again.
Linda Gregory and Jaspreet Birring have just seen us through an incredibly protracted and annoying purchase of a new home - thankfully with a successful result. Linda was constantly supportive and kind throughout the process, always responsive and with meticulous attention to detail to ensure the best outcome for us. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Linda and Lauren from Knights were fantastic throughout the entire house-buying process. As a first-time buyer, I really appreciated their support, guidance, and responsiveness. They worked efficiently, kept me informed every step of the way, and were always quick to respond to emails. I would highly recommend them to anyone purchasing a property.
Excellent Service from Ian Peach acting in the sale of a property for me as Executor.
Ian handled my personal change of property last year and I had no hesitation asking him to assist again. As ever extremely prompt, clear and helpful communication at every stage and always very supportive.
Ian Peach and Samantha Kidd from Knights carried out the conveyancing for a unusually complicated purchase of 2 separate parts of what was originally a single dwelling and the sale of our main home and then shortly after, the sale of a second property.
We purposely spent a little extra to use Ian again after the original purchase of the second property in 2020.
I would thoroughly recommend Ian, rather than what on face value seems like a cheaper option. Many of the other companies offering conveyancing services seem unable to keep a dedicated person managing the process, dragging out the process and making it more stressful than it already should be.
Ian Peach will be my first choice for future legal services.
I had an excellent experience working with Ian Peach at Knights plc for the conveyancing of my house sale. Ian was the consummate professional throughout the entire process—knowledgeable, responsive, and always reassuring at each stage.
The sale was handled efficiently and completed quickly, which made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and well-managed. A special mention also goes to Samantha Kidd, whose support was invaluable. Together, they made a fantastic team, keeping everything on track and ensuring clear communication throughout.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ian, Samantha, and the team at Knights plc to anyone looking for a high-quality, reliable conveyancing service.
I wanted a cost effective way to resolve the child issues matters - months and thousands of pounds later i was told that going to court wasnt the best option as it would be tens of thousands more, more than the equity in my house. Over a 6month period i spend over £10k and didnt get any better circumstances with my child and didnt engineer a housesale. Now in the same postion with a lot less in the bank and no viable way to proceed.
I had a very tight 6 week schedule to complete the purchase of the family and buy out my siblings shares. I first went to a different firm of solicitors. I soon discovered that solicitor was incredibly rude, wouldn't give a timescale and was dismissive. I contacted Knights and straight away someone from the firm contacted me. Solicitor Emma Millington took complete ownership of my case and provided a gold standard service. She worked closely with my family solicitors ensuring exchange if contracts and completion happened with 2 weeks to spare.
Emma was professional throughout, guiding me and keeping me up to date on the progress. She always took my calls amd always responded to my emails. She is a credit to Knights PLC and deserves all the praise she gets. Thank you Emma.
Lauren and the team at Knights were brilliant supporting me through a stressful and challenging remortgage of our home. She was compassionate, attentive and driven to get things completed. I wouldnt hesitate to instruct them again.
I was the executor of my late Fathers estate and wanted a solicitor to deal with probate and to sell the house. My experience with Knights was really excellent from start to finish. From the first meetings with Charlotte, Samantha and Ian I felt confident and re-assured that everything was going to run smoothly. And it did. They always kept me informed at each stage and were always available to answer any queries that I had. I would recommend Knights to anyone without hesitation. The service that I received was exceptional.
Emma Walker-D'Cruze handled my side of the sale of a jointly owned property for me following divorce. She was quick, to respond and the team at Knights communicated hours worked and charges throughout. I was really happy with their service. Beyond that, Emma dealt with my case with kindness and care which felt above and beyond and I am very grateful for that support.
I cannot speak highly enough of Shivy Patel. Shivy worked relentlessly for us throughout a complicated family law case.
Shivy was always on hand to advise and guide us through each process. Always keeping us involved and up to date every step.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Shivy Patel.
Excellent from start to finish. Communication was first class and Gethin and his team made the whole process stress free.
Horrendous experience which will have lasting impact for years, no end to how much their costs...estimate was just that plus 1/2 again all about maximising their profit from start to finish...stay away if you don't care much about the cost engaging could financially ruin you
Knights have honestly been the best solicitors that I have worked with. Yes, they are a bit pricey - but the amount of stress they saved made it worth it. Both Hannah and Louise in the Brighton office were both friendly, helpful and very efficient. Thanks very much !!
Knights were quick, clear and courteous at all times. Rachael and Lauren dealt extremely well with all my needs and enquiries.
