My wife and I recently used Monarch's services to purchase our home, and we are very happy with the overall experience. The team was helpful and courteous, always responding to our queries promptly and professionally. A special thanks to AnneMarie, who was brilliant. Assisting us every step of the way. It’s a cliché, but buying a property can be stressful—her bubbly yet professional attitude made the process so much smoother, which we are both grateful for. Highly recommend.... Read more

I cannot recommend the team at Monarch Legal highly enough. After a difficult experience with our previous solicitors, we were left in a stressful and time-sensitive situation just two weeks before Christmas. Despite the challenging timeframe, Monarch Legal responded promptly and were more than willing to represent us when others turned us away. From the very first point of contact, their professionalism and care stood out. Amber, Laura, Maya, and AnneMarie were exceptional—reassuring us throughout and explaining every detail clearly. Their hard work and dedication are truly commendable, and they are a credit to their firm. We will not hesitate to use Monarch Legal again and highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and supportive legal services.... Read more

Monarch as my solicitors when buying a house: My experience with Monarch was sub-par unfortunately. I felt as though I had to constantly chase Monarch for documents and information, even up until my move-in day. There was one day in particular, I was trying to get in touch and saw on social media that they were sipping champagne and wearing face masks in the office. This was most concerning. I think it’s obvious that it’s a rather young company, so next time I will be looking for a company that is a bit more professional with their approach.... Read more

Am still going through the process of actually finalising the sales, so will update this review to discuss the legal side of Monarch once all missives clear. But experience has been great so far!...

There is something a little different about Monarch. Anyone can say they go above and beyond or that they give grade A service or that they are a friendly helpful bunch. But actions speak louder than words and as an estate agent in the local area I use the services of Monarch because they are quick to respond to me and my clients. They do go that extra mile to get the job done and they really are a great bunch of people to be around. If you are looking for legal support then I would definitely recommend them. They have some great properties too but that didn't come from me as in that respect they are the enemy ????. Can you believe that another Estate Agent would leave such a glowing review for the competition. Well I just did and Laura Shields & the team all deserve it. Thank you guys 5 Stars from me.

Not sure where to start with the service I have received from Monarch Legal. After going through a very difficult time at the start of the year I was now ready to start the process of completing my remortgage into my sole name & approached Marianne to help me with all the legal sides of things. Marianne was very supportive, caring & attentive throughout every stage of the process explaining everything from costs to next steps to keep this as straight forward & stress free as possible for me. Kevin has been great at explaining things, keeping me updated & the legal process of everything as this is very different to what I have experienced before. They are also extremely efficient at responding to any correspondence no matter what time of day or night it is. What could have been a very daunting and worrying time for me has been so relaxing and stress free thanks to the professionalism of Marianne & Kevin and I will forever be grateful for all the efforts they have went to to help me sort everything I needed to complete this process. Thanks again guys - highly recommend!!!... Read more

This is an edit of my original post During my negotiations, I have had problems from beginning to end, with poor communication between solicitors, lack of 1) good support and and 2) no attention to details throughout most of the process. I have had a first entry date delayed in the very last minute due to lack of checks by one of the parties (lack of basic AML checks from the other side). I reckon now this was not a procedure that Monarch could`ve done anything about, but they have admitted that leaving missives for last minute (when it was too late) was poor. I would`ve not even bothered writting this review if, for the luck of my family, AnneMarie Halley had not taken over the whole process after the first entry date was delayed - admittedly, she is a superstar and made all possible (and impossible) efforts to pull my deal through (on a second entry date). She has moved earth and heaven to make the solicitors from my buying side finish their missives, gave me all support and attention and if it wasn`t for her, our worst nightmares would`ve come true. She is a talented force of nature that Monarch should be thankful having working for them. I can`t say I have had an overall great experience with Monarch - which is reflected in my rating. But if I could rate only AnneMarie alone, I certainly would lack stars and compliments.... Read more

After recommendations, I decided to go with Monarch Legal for my house move and I’m glad I did. For what is often seen as a pretty stressful experience too go through, Sarah and AnneMarie made that side of the whole house purchase completely stress free and dare I say, enjoyable?! For someone who isn’t all to familiar with the process, I was guided and kept in the loop at every stage, never once feeling the need to chase up anything in what was an incredibly tight turn around. So a huge Thankyou from me. There would be zero hesitation to recommend to others. Chris... Read more

Where to begin with this, we had a particularly challenging property sale that was handled excellently by Annemarie, she was pleasant professional and even managed to put up with my calls every hour for updates for the duration of the sale, without her help, advice and efficiency I don’t believe this sale would have happened… so genuinely, thanks Annemarie! What a pleasure... Read more

We have to deal with monarch as a solicitor of our buyers. Very stressful as did not answer on time to emails from our solicitor, multiple people dealt with transaction. It was a shame as transaction which was simple and straightforward caused a lot of stress to all people in a chain. Things changed when people who were selling to us called monarch CEO. Our solicitor was very sceptical from the begining about working with them and said might be stressful as they are known for not being reliable. In the end transaction went thru but caused a lot unnecessary stress.... Read more

When do you ever deal with a solicitor that you don't need to chase or keep on top of? It's almost unheard of but the team at Monarch Legal blow this out of the water! From Marianne to Chris we had 110% service at all times during our buying and selling experience. The team took the stress out of the process and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a solicitor who genuinely cares about great customer outcomes.... Read more

Monarch Legal, and specifically Marianne and Michael, have been a wonderful team to work with to sell our current flat and purchase a new one. The process happened quickly and efficiently, and the results exceeded our expectations. Monarch created an elegant brochure for our home sale and had our flat under offer with a better-than-expected offers-over after the first viewing! Throughout Marianne and Michael have been incredibly on top of proceedings and have provided experienced advice. We highly recommend using Monarch to sell or buy your flat.... Read more
