Jennings Solicitors

Matt has been a massive help and support to my son in a custody battle for his daughter.When we engaged with Matt, my son was getting little to no contact with his daughter, the mother of his daughter was deciding if and when he could see his daughter and would want money in exchange for time with his daughter, on top of the maintenance he was paying.Matt, gave us hope from the start and was with us every step of the way, as we prepared to take the case before the courts. Thanks to Matt it was uncovered that there was a lot going on in my granddaughter’s life and the courts eventually awarded my son full custody of his daughter.None of this would have happened had it not been for Matt and his team, we owe him so much gratitude.We would 100% recommend Matt and his team to anyone going through a similar situation.

I’d like to start by expressing our (me and family’s) deepest gratitude to Jennings Solicitors for helping us move into our dream home. After almost 5 months of pain with the other conveyancer, we lost hope and feared that not only we have to go through the cycle of finding new property but also have to bear the higher cost of mortgage as the interest rates have significantly risen from March 2023 to August 2023. This increase in mortgage repayment was likely to have ended our dream of moving into a new home forcing us to stay put where we were.We were so excited when our offer was accepted for our dream home at the end of February 2023. My very helpful and efficient mortgage advisor helped secure the mortgage by 2nd week of March 2023 and recommended my previous conveyancer. We accepted the recommendation hoping that the transaction would go quickly and smoothly as the conveyancer is in the panel of my lender and recommended by my mortgage advisor with whom we were very happy.The previous conveyancer started the searches which came through by 1st week of April and although our mortgage offer was valid for 6 months (until 2nd week of September 2023) we were confident that we will be able to exchange if not complete by end of May 2023.Unfortunately, the efficiency and knowledge of my previous conveyancer finished after the searches as they not only mis-read the lending terms from my mortgage provider (which were in plain English) but also completely mis-interpreted the covenants. They didn’t seem to have enough experience in dealing with conveyancing matters where multiple titles and farming land are involved and they didn’t invest any effort or time in understanding the history and context of the property development.Their mis-interpretation started a heated debate between my previous conveyancer and the conveyancer of the sellers who took a position that their property papers are in complete order and nothing else is required and also provided all the assurances (including indemnity policy) to my conveyancer but my conveyancer wasn’t convinced that this is enough mitigation so they informed my lender and wrote the letter in a negative tone asking if they are willing to lend or if their valuation is affected by the indemnity insurance. Of course, they declined because information provided to the Bank was out of context and no context or recommendation was given to them despite me requesting. So everything stalled.By July end the estate agency prepared to re-advertise the property and my previous conveyancer did nothing .A friend suggested getting the papers checked by Jennings Solicitors as a second opinion and I spoke to Matt on the 2nd week of August. He looked at the chain of papers and various titles and mentioned there is nothing wrong with the titles and he can get the property completed. We could not believe our ears when we heard it and we asked for the quote for the conveyance and we were surprised that it was very reasonable and the same amount as was my previous conveyancer. We hired him and signed all the paperwork. He spoke to the lender giving detailed explanation about the property and title and the mis-interpretation done by previous conveyancer and the lender was satisfied with his arguments and gave the approval.A TON OF THANKS TO MATT that Two weeks afterwards we exchanged and completed and are in our new home. He has earned our trust for life and whenever we have to do a property related legal transaction or need other legal services then we know who to reach-out to.Lessons learnt:** Home moving is stressful and you like to avoid stress where possible so choose your conveyancer carefully** Recommended conveyancers from your mortgage provider / estate agents may not turn out to be good** Conveyancers can mis-read or mis-interpret the documents so when they say no – challenge them** If your transactions do not go smoothly then seek second opinion early on in the process**My Recommendation - Jennings Solicitors provides honest, reliable & transparent legal services

Needed a statutory delcaration, receptionist was helpful and arranged it the same day for me. Matt did it and wouldn't take a penny for doing it. Friendly firm, not the usual solictor type, Will use in the future.

Fantastic firm , helped me with a parking charge form. Will definitely be using them again. Thank you

I needed a statutory declaration document to be signed urgently, tried many places and had no luck. Finally when I called Jennings solicitors, they were able to give me an appointment within a day. I was in and out within minutes, thank you very much for your service.

Excellent service. I needed to get some documents certified and, not having experience of any solicitors in MK, I picked Jennings on the basis that they are close to home and have good reviews. They were very helpful on the phone and told me exactly how much it would cost. My appointment was at 1pm but I was 10 minutes early. It wasn't an issue, they certified my documents immediately and I was back in the car driving home just after 1pm. Efficient, friendly, helpful and non intimidating. If I need a solicitor in the future I will make them my first call.

Very quick replies and called for clarification and explain what we needed to bring, arrived a little early and was out in 15 minutes. Matthew was very nice and explained all the paperwork and got everything all sorted for us. Would definitely recommend :)

Lovely friendly staff. I visited this morning to have a couple of ID documents certified, and met Sheetal and Matthew. Very kind and didn’t charge me. I have used this firm of solicitors before and was very pleased with the service I received.
