  • Rebecca and team have been a dream to work with. The team have been patient, informative, sympathetic and relatable during what's been a turbulent house sale, involving Help to Buy too (which is no-one favourite). I just want to pass my thanks onto the whole team at Tallents for their support and help over the sale of my house. Thank you for all you have done.

  • Rebecca dealt with the sale of my late dads house in a very professional manner, we were kept fully informed at each stage of the process and she was very pro-active in getting things done, also other members of staff I spoke to during the process were extremely helpful including Gabrielle I didn’t get everyone’s name, they all made a difficult time for us much easier.

  • Brilliant! Recently used Tallents Solicitors in Mansfield, they were absolutely 1st class. After having much heartache with two previous properties and being no further forward after nine months with each, we finally got the keys to this in just eight wks. This was all down to Rebecca May Fido, she did a brilliant job, she was very proactive, she reassured us all the way. Wonderful service, can't thank her enough, we would highly recommend her and the company. Once again, thank you.

  • It is almost four years to the day that my Mentally handicapped Brother passed away. The complex business of bringing closure to his financial affairs and legalities, was carried out, most professionally, by Mrs Elizabeth Rees, them based at your Mansfield Office. She accommodated me with the compassion and care as the process unfolded. I remain ever thankful for her kindness to me personally, at such a time of loss. I have let me known amongst my own family that I would prefer Tallents Solicitors, preferably Mrs Rees, to handle my affairs when that becomes necessary.,

  • Your service was second to none. Always on the ball and can't thank you enough. I found you very pleasant and professional, quick in replying back to me. Your assistance with everything made it less daunting. I was a bit sceptical about accepting estate MCM agent's recommendation at first but I can't thank you enough for all your hard work that you've put into this for me. I will highly recommend you and your associates with the efficiency and the personal touch.

    Mr R & Ms C

    Mansfield, May 2022

  • Thank you for all your hard work in dealing with our sale and purchase. It was a difficult time for us and probably not the easiest moves we've had but your perseverance paid off in the end! We are in our new home and love it!

    Mr & Mrs Rudman

    Mansfield, May 2022

  • We are currently using Tallents as our conveyancing solicitors, thankfully now nearing the end of what has been a very long and stressful journey to our moving day, having finally exchanged contracts yesterday. We have nothing but praise for Sharon, who has had to deal with what has been one of the worst experiences we have ever had in all the house moves we have ever done over the years. In our view it was only through Sharon's hard work and persistence along with the buyer of our current property becoming frustrated at the delays, that we are where we are now. She has truly been our shining light. We are always a bit sceptical about accepting estate agent recommendations for conveyancing, due to horror stories you hear about customers getting landed with dodgy conveyancers, but on this occasion, our agents got it spot on by recommending Tallents. We would highly recommend them if you want efficiency and the more personal touch.

    Sarah Rudman

    Mansfield, April 2022

  • Tallents Solicitors made the process of selling our house simple and straightforward. Rebecca-May Fido was excellent at keeping us informed during every step of the process. I would highly recommend.

  • As a professional property investor I need a conveyancing solicitor to do what they say, when they say. Tallents are as good as they get. Vili and her team always exceed expectations and deliver on purchases and sales quickly and efficiently. They are always quick to respond and can cut through the legal jargon easily. A highly recommended team!!

  • Dear Rebecca, just a note of gratitude for getting the sale completed – probably in record time! I know the buyers had unrealistic expectations but you 'rose to the challenge' and did sterling work to get it finalised just days before Christmas. My grateful and sincere thanks to you and your team.

Would definitely recommend them to friends and family and would use again.

  • We have recently moved into our first property and Rebecca has been a god send ! In the current climate delays are to be expected but Rebecca kept us updated the whole way through and made the whole process as stress free as possible, especially when buying your first home can seem quite daunting.She has been thorough yet timely , and answered any queries we had along the way. I will most certainly be using Rebecca again for any future matters !

  • Mat is my solicitor. Shout out to him for helping me get my baby back!!! So thankful. Been there since day 1 quite literally, giving me "dad chats" when I needed telling and things. It's amazing how much he has done for me because if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be where I am. And shout out to everyone else there who just used to let me sit in the waiting area when I used to turn up hours before my appointment and offering me coffees and that. You are all amazing and I will be forever greatful for what you have done for me. On to a better life with my daughter now!!

    Mansfield, September 2018

  • Hi Helen, as your work with me is now coming to an end, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support.  As time went on, I grew to trust your judgement and advice 100%, particularly around keeping emotions out of the response emails etc. and focusing on the facts and figures. Be assured that I would have no problems in recommending you to friends should the need arise. Thanks, P

People are always so quick to complain and I felt it important to say thank you to you…so thank you so much Helen.
