Since 2016, GD Property Solicitors has grown rapidly, operating in seven UK cities (including Manchester) and the United Arab Emirates (Dubai). It specialises solely in property law, handling commercial and residential sales, purchasing, and conveyance.

GD Property is fantastic for its “no completion, no fee” model—highly attractive to cautious clients. Even with this policy, it’s built a reputation for prompt and helpful responses for initial inquiries, speaking volumes on its efficiency no matter the price tag.

The firm’s strong industry links with banks, mortgage lenders, and property agents are another plus in our books. These connections often work for sorting out mountains of paperwork and red tape, making processes less stressful for clients.

That said, some client reviews do hint at occasional service lags. Still, GD Property’s initiative to improve is clear and well-appreciated—highly recommended for solicitors with solid reach and track record in property law.

Better service for less price

“Prompt, efficient, friendly, effective service. Why pay more? Did what they said on the tin and at less than half the price of the London based solicitor my estate agents recommended. Waleed was helpful and easy to get hold of. All clear and they were approachable and patient when I didn’t understand something.”

Experienced and fast response

“Zumman was fantastic in the purchase of a house through GD Property Solicitors. It wasn’t the simplest purchase, but Zumman’s experience and knowledge were really valuable throughout. We managed to go from offer to completion in around 8 weeks, and that was mainly due to how fast he was able to work and respond. Thanks again!”

MS Law Solicitors has been successfully supporting property owners in and around Prestwich for almost two decades now, with hands-on leadership and highly competent staff. Run by three actively involved Partners, it frequently hits the mark.

One big plus here is that each case is handled by someone with at least three years of property law experience—always guided by a senior solicitor with over a decade of experience of their own. This is encouraging, especially for first-time home buyers!

Client reviews also often mention how well MS Law explains complex legal processes. Communication on matters is often straightforward and timely, which helps a lot in easing client anxieties stemming from property transactions.

Timeliness and cost-effectiveness are clearly part of this firm’s standards, too. While general service consistency varies slightly per case, its overall delivery is on the reliable side—quite expected for a practice this established.

Efficient and proactive

“I highly recommend MS Law for conveyancing when purchasing a property. Our solicitor, Muneeb, was incredibly efficient and responsive—we always heard back from him within hours or days. He was proactive in ensuring our purchase progressed smoothly and swiftly. Buying a house is often known for delays and frustration, but thanks to Muneeb, the process couldn’t have been quicker.”

No-fuss, affordable service

“Professional and knowledgeable Sharif was available to speak to each time I called – and I think that is very important. He handled our sale without fuss or delay and at a very good price. Highly recommended!”

Cheetham Hills’ Axis Solicitors has built a name primarily in immigration law, but its property law team is worth a mention of its own. It offers conveyancing, lease advice, and dispute handling for clients across Manchester and Birmingham.

What impressed us first was the firm’s promise of a free initial assessment. It’s a thoughtful touch that creates a sense of goodwill and transparency with prospective clients. 

Its clients also frequently highlight the firm’s proactive case handlers, who stay on top of updates and walk clients through their matters in plain English. Another bonus is the Saturday opening hours that make this firm a lifesaver for weekday workers.

Sure, not all reviews about Axis Solicitors we’ve chanced upon are glowing, but most complaints seem to be one-offs. Therefore, we still highly recommend this firm for its capable staff and proper advice that gets matters sorted.

Easy communication

“Juwairiyyah and Salomen were great! Really easy to talk through things and sort the matter out. Possession claim for residential property”

Sincere and expert advice

“Outstanding solicitors, I spoke with Ruhmana today, I explained my very long term situation and she responded via e mail very swiftly on our discussion and also guided me through what I should be doing, as I was advised wrongly by other legal teams. (solicitors) I can only stress, if you require a great Legal firm, please talk with this company ( Axis) they are honest and showed sincerity. they put my mind at ease and I will definitely use them again in the Future, thanks again Rhumana for you help, very much appreciated.”

Clifford Johnston & Co. Solicitors has been a trusted name in Manchester and Stockport for over 35 years. It specialises in various areas of law, including residential and commercial conveyancing, as well as freehold purchases.

One notable pro of this firm is its ability to tailor specific services based on client needs. Moreover, we admire the firm’s sincerity—it doesn’t sugarcoat its capabilities and will only take on matters if it believes that the firm has the right expertise to handle them.

We also appreciate how approachable and responsive its solicitors are. That said, front-of-house interactions, as per client reviews, could benefit from a bit more polish.

Clifford Johnston & Co.’s transparent pricing is also a strong attribute. Although its business is understandably for profit, some clients may still qualify for legal aid or even a “no win, no fee” arrangement.

These characteristics make the firm a compelling and dependable option for a truly personalised and compassionate service.

Prompt and transparent service

“Jared gave excellent, matter of fact and highly knowledgeable advice. He was great for the gathering of documents and statements. He pulled it all together into a professional, concise and laser-focused document that got exactly the result we needed.

Costs were completely transparent from the start, which was reassuring, and a set figure meant I didn’t need to worry about sending a follow up email. Jared replied at all times too, meaning I didn’t have long waits to get help or answers (take a holiday, Jared!).

I can’t recommend Jared and by extension Clifford Johnston enough. Reassuring, friendly and professional.”

Easy, professional conveyancing

“We were recommended Andrea Belshaw to complete our conveyancing when we were selling our house. She was outstanding from start to finish. Andrea is excellent with communication, professional advice and is a pleasure to deal with. There were a number of issues that were to us complex but explained perfectly and dealt with quickly. I can highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for the very best professional service.”

Recognised by the Legal 500 (the OG world guide to law firm rankings), Prosperity Law has been a mainstay in the UK’s northwest region. This firm’s reputation is built on expertise in corporate and residential property law, including conveyancing.

The biggest asset of Prosperity is its staff. Clients describe them as not only skilled but also empathic—case managers are often commended for their calm demeanour, steady communication, and capability to explain legal jargon, even under pressure.

Its commitment to diversity also deserves a mention. Aside from serving a wide client base, its internal structure mirrors this diversity too, which we think helps a lot in the firm’s capability to build stronger client relations.

Prosperity Law’s pricing is generally competitive for freehold purchasing, but is on the steeper side for other services. Nonetheless, since we believe that quality comes at a price, we’ll still list it as a top suggestion for property law firms.

Fantastic advice and communication

“Francesca has been absolutely fantastic to deal with on a property transaction which was complex and required diligent management. Prosperity as a whole have also been good to deal with and responded quickly to queries.

Special thanks to Francesca though who has been so helpful throughout, highly responsive and always happy to provide relevant and thorough advice. Also backed my corner at every stage as much as she can. Highly recommend and would certainly look to come to Prosperity again on future transactions.

Thanks!”

Professional even in stressful processes

“We had the pleasure of being represented by Gill Bebbington at Prosperity Law during the sale of our flat in Manchester, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her outstanding service. Gill’s experience, advice, calmness, and professionalism made what could have been a stressful process smooth and efficient. Her expertise ensured everything was handled with precision, and her reassuring approach was invaluable throughout. We would highly recommend Gill to anyone in need of a solicitor—she truly goes above and beyond for her clients.”
