  • Hi Alistair, I just wanted to say thank you. You’ve been very easy to work with, uncommon in your industry. I know our case wasn’t straightforward but you’ve managed us with ease!

  • I have bought/sold 5 properties in the last 7 years. All 4 of the previous solicitors used made the process so very much more torturous (than it too often already is) by way of incredibly poor communication. Alistair Millar has been outstanding in every regard. He came recommended and I can see why. I will use him for every legal need I ever have henceforth. He is simply brilliant; highly professional and unbelievably speedy at responding to emails. Often he replied the same day and at the latest, the next. When he was due to go away for a week, he passed on all information to his equally excellent locum, Imran Uddin, who was overseeing Alistair's caseload the week my sale went through. Alistair had set it up perfectly, and Imran kept me informed by phone throughout. You'll have gathered that I cannot recommend Alistair enough. Oh and the whole purchase went through in 10 weeks, such was Alistair's proficiency in all areas over which he had control.

  • Excellent service, great team, I can't recommend them highly enough. And yes, I've dealt with many solicitors over the years – Tallents, particularly Alistair Millar, are by far the best. The whole team are efficient, responsive, polite and very down to earth. Thank you all!

  • Hi Alistair, we just wanted to both thank you ever so much for all of your expert guidance, help and patience to get us to completion on our first house purchase. A 9:18am completion is incredibly civilised!! Although the process has been a little more drawn out than we’d have hoped (beyond anyone’s control, sadly), your responsiveness and proactive approach throughout has been massively appreciated by us both and has really exceeded our expectations. We will not think twice before using Tallents again, and that’s all down to the quality and timeliness of your work – so thank you very much again!

  • Tallents Solicitors were absolutely brilliant in helping us buy our first home. They walked us through it step by step, were quick to respond to emails and everything went through without a hitch. We had some issues in our contracts at points where the name was spelt incorrectly and the team were very quick to get this rectified by the buildings company. I would highly recommend Tallents Solicitors to anyone, and if we do decide to sell and buy again we will definitely be using them again.

  • All I can say is a very big 'thank you' to you, Hedwig, Lynda and others for the hard work involved in finally dragging us across the finishing line after a couple of false starts and trip-ups along the way. We're very happy with the service we've received from you throughout – the speed and tenacity with which you all work is exemplary. Although we now live away from Southwell, I will certainly get back in touch when we need any further legal work, as with current technology the distances involved are much less of an issue than in years gone by. Once again, many thanks, and best wishes.

  • Wonderful, thank you! And thanks for your help and your efficiency throughout the whole process. It has made things much less stressful to feel it's all being well taken care of, as we've heard such negative stories about other solicitors from friends and family. We will certainly be happy to recommend you and use you again should we need to!
