Client feedback / Conveyancing - October 2023

"Reliable & thorough. Mariya made the entire process of purchasing my first property significantly less stressful. She has a great eye for detail and is an effective and clear communicator. I felt in extremely safe hands, especially after her detailed enquiries unearthed some unauthorised planning issues in the first property I tried to buy, enabling me to dodge a huge bullet. She is hard-working, diligent and professional. I would highly recommend her."

Client feedback

"I engaged Mariya Thomas to execute the purchase of a flat in London. I found Mariya to be a true expert in her field, incredibly rigorous in the due diligence on the property, and extremely efficient in the progression of the purchase. In addition, Mariya was always available to answer queries, and was invariably patient in explaining the status and required actions. As a consequence, Mariya gave me tremendous confidence that purchase would conclude, with my interests fully protected. Finally, on a personal level, I found Mariya to be a delightful person, who genuinely cared about understanding her client’s needs, and would make every effort to ensure they were exceeded. I would most definitely engage Mariya to execute any future property transaction, and I would strongly recommend her to any potential future client"

Client feedback - May 2022

"My experience was excellent. The process, was smooth, rapid and handled with professionalism and sensitivity. the different legal teams liaised with Mariya so she could carry out her role in the process meticulously and under tight deadlines. She helped through the process on a step by step basis and summarised key elements of documents that I needed to read very carefully and pulled out key high priority information so I didn't miss it. This was very helpful."

Client feedback - February 2023

"Mariya has been fantastic throughout. She was always available to talk things through. I am 100% sure that were it not for her, we would not be in our property before Christmas (and potentially not in our property full stop)."
