What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Residential property transactions form the backbone of the work described by clients of Platinum Solicitors in Reading, with sales, purchases and simultaneous moves all represented in the feedback. First-time buyers and families alike report a consistent approach: matters advance without unnecessary delay, correspondence receives swift replies, and instructions are explained in plain terms so that each milestone is understood. Emily Jones features most frequently by name, while Kira Till and Angie are also credited for their contributions to completions.

Reviewers repeatedly highlight the persistence shown when a chain stalls, including instances where a counterparty's representative failed to engage and the team applied pressure to keep the transaction moving. The clarity of advice given to those buying for the first time comes up as a recurring strength, and the fees charged are described as fair for the attention received. Several accounts mention the composure and personal warmth maintained through stressful exchanges, as well as the thoroughness brought to documentation. Matters involving a deceased relative's house, a Woodley sale and repeat instructions from family members all appear among the experiences shared, with clients noting that they would return for future conveyancing needs.

Emily, Kira, Angie and the team were absolutely brilliant throughout my purchase as a first-time buyer. They were responsive, proactive, professional, and transparent at every stage of the process. They took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me well informed, and made sure I felt supported from start to finish. Their expertise and efficiency were invaluable throughout the journey. They worked hard to maintain momentum across the entire chain, proactively liaising with all parties to keep everything on track and meet the agreed timeframes. Their guidance gave me real confidence and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel straightforward. I highly recommend the Platinum team to anyone looking for an excellent conveyancing solicitor. Thank you so much for all your help!

Me and my wife Sue sold my late mother in law’s house through Platinum Solicitors. Everything was done exceptionally well and very professionally, was done very quick and kept us updated on every step of the sale. Kira Till who we dealt with was exceptional. I would highly recommend Platinum Solicitors and Kira to anyone wishing to buy or sell a house. Our daughter and son in law are now using Kira and Platinum Solicitors for the sale of their house.

We used Platinum Solicitors for the sale of our property in Woodley, and found Emily and Kira to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable during the process. They provided prompt responses to all of our queries. We would strongly recommend them to anyone in the future, and would not hesitate to use them again going forward.

We have just completed our sale and purchase, and I cannot thank the whole team enough. Selling and buying at the same time is stressful enough, but without their calm, capable, and wonderfully personable hands guiding us through, we would have completely lost our minds. ​Every single person we spoke to went completely above and beyond for us. They didn't just handle the paperwork; they were just so genuinely lovely and personable throughout the entire process. ​A special shout-out has to go to Emily and Kira, who were our main points of contact. They are both absolute professionals who are clearly wonderful at their jobs, and they were always so incredibly lovely to speak to whenever we needed them. ​We would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat, and we would definitely use them again. ​Thank you all so much for your hard work, your patience, and for all your help. We really appreciate it.

Platinum Solicitors just completed our purchase and what an excellent experience it was, end-to-end. Quick, informative, friendly and pragmatic. We’ve used many conveyancing firms in the past and they all pale in comparison. Thank you Emily, Kira and team - you were wonderful.

Platinum Solicitors were excellent at handling our first home purchase. As we have never done it before and it was a shared ownership home, we were worried it was going to be complicated and have lots of challenges. Emily Jones, Kira Till and Emily Harding made it a really easy and hassle free process. They always replied quickly to our emails and gave detailed instructions on what we needed to do. I've heard from many people how difficult solicitors can be to work with and how painful it can be but with Emily and her team everything was simple and stress free. I will absolutely use them again in the future and would recommend them to anyone.
