Super Service from Knights
Sarah Murphy at Knights acted for me on the purchase of my first property for a company, I set up. Very professional, proactive and responsive. The service delivered was superb and I am very much grateful for her assistance. I highly recommend Sarah and Knights in general, after I turned to them again on a separate matter. Again the service was excellent.

Exceptional Service
Charlotte and Courtney provided a service that was "above and beyond", stepping into support us when our previous lawyer lets us down. Not only getting up to speed at an impressive pace but also ensuring that the transaction was completed on time. Nothing short of a miracle, we can't thank them enough.

High standard of service
Knights have carried out two separate transactions for us and both experiences have been fantastic.
The professionalism and dedication shown by Charlotte, Courteney and Tamara have all been outstanding in delivering a great service.. As a legal entity, the firm has proven that it holds great value in reaching a positive outcome for its clients, including a higher quality of care and humanity. Charlotte in particular has worked beyond the realms of her role by working outside of her office hours to help us during a difficult situation, she gave us confidence and constant reassurance throughout our transaction. Charlotte has exceeded our expectations and provided an exceptional service. The law firm has shown a great deal of ethical and moral values, a high standard of service and has etched itself into our lives. For any legal matters we will be using Knights only.

Sophie Partridge is excellent
Sophie Partridge helped us through the sale of my late mother’s property and we very much appreciated her guidance and patience in the face of various frustrating experiences with prospective purchasers. She dealt with everything promptly and efficiently and we knew we could always rely on her. We would have no hesitation in working with Sophie again in the future.

Fantastic, you get what you pay for
We cannot speak highly enough of Kate Herbert. Our house sales and purchase was meant to be straightforwards, it was anything but. from the very beginning Kate made the process simple and her responses were very quick, When things went wrong she was brilliant at finding solutions and helping us through. We believe that has we had another solicitor our purchase would have fell through and our sale would have taken months longer. Cannot recommend her enough.

Excellent service on sale and purchase
We used Knights on our leasehold sale and freehold purchase. We had a very good experience with Kate Herbert. Kate was very responsive, proactive and personable. We were able to go from offer to completion within c. 3 months. We would definitely want to use Kate on any future transaction.
The use of the digital apps for uploading all of the information also streamlined things. It was a modern and professional service.

High recommendation for Knights residential team in Essex
I used the residential conveyancing team of Knights in Essex to sell my property. I dealt with Jasmin Patel and her associates Rebecca Bolton and Laura Finnigan. They provided an excellent service: sound legal advice with my queries answered accurately and rapidly. They negotiated robustly with the buyer’s solicitors under very challenging circumstances, gaining circumstantial damages when the buyer failed to complete the sale on time. I can highly recommend Knights as an efficient and diligent firm of solicitors

Knights Solicitors Property Conveyancing
From our first contact with Knights Solicitors they stressed that they would provide a high quality service for the sale of our property. They delivered fully on their promise and helped push through the sale in good time while providing us with constant updates. The solicitors ( Sarah-Louise Green and Rebecca Bolton ) were very responsive to any enquiries. You certainly pay a higher fee for using Knights but if you want a professional service that works hard to complete your property sale quickly then I would fully recommend using this Company's services.

We have been involved with Knights as executors of a will.
We have been involved with Knights since September 2025 as executors to a will. We had no previous experience in this capacity and were somewhat daunted by what we should need to do. Amanda Paardekooper undertook the conveyancing work in the sale of the property. She has given tremendous support, sound advice and guided us through the legal process. Communication at all stages has been excellent and has always been available to provide help whenever we have needed it. Further work is now in progress by Charlotte Cooper to complete the final stages as required. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Knights and members of the team with whom we have had dealings. Brilliant service.

Efficient, professional and approachable.
I instructed Emma Millington at Knights to handle the sale of a property. Emma was helpful, approachable and efficient throughout the sale. Emma was easy to contact and always responded to emails or telephone calls. There were a few issues to be resolved during the process and I found Emma's advice was practical and sensible. I would recommend Knights and will certainly instruct Emma again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations.
Our intention is always to explain all potential costs at the earliest possible stage so clients can make informed decisions. We apologise if this was not communicated clearly during your meeting.
Regarding the pricing options discussed, these reflect the complexity and level of legal work involved in preparing wills and any additional ongoing estate planning services.
Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us improve the service we provide.

Efficient and reliable
Quick responses within half a day. We were assigned a team of two people (Kirsten and Ben) so we always had someone on hand when the other was away from the office. Clear and helpful communication. The properties we were moving from and to were both in Oxfordshire while Knights' office is in Portsmouth, but this didn't seem to cause a problem.
My past experience with solicitors has been very hit and miss - Knights are one of the good ones and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

5* Service - Matthew Richardson
We recently completed what proved to be an incredibly complicated and challenging property purchase, and I can honestly say we could not have asked for better support than we received from Matthew Richardson at Knights Professional Services.
From start to finish, Matthew demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise and unwavering tenacity. The transaction presented multiple obstacles and moments where it genuinely felt as though it might fall apart. However, Matthew’s calm, methodical approach and clear strategic thinking ensured that every issue was tackled head-on and resolved effectively.
What stood out most was his communication. We were kept fully informed at every stage, with regular updates and clear explanations of complex matters. His advice was always measured, practical and in our best interests, giving us confidence even during the most uncertain moments.
Matthew’s persistence and commitment to getting the deal over the line were remarkable. He went above and beyond to drive progress, liaise with all parties and maintain momentum when it mattered most.
We are genuinely impressed with the level of service provided and would not hesitate to recommend Matthew Richardson and Knights Professional Services to anyone seeking expert guidance through a complex transaction. An outstanding professional delivering an outstanding service.
