What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Residential property work dominates the accounts left for this Ipswich firm, covering both sales and purchases alongside wills and probate matters. A point that comes up often is how promptly clients were kept informed, with emails and calls answered quickly and technical points explained in straightforward language. Matters that ran into difficulty were handled steadily: when another firm withdrew at exchange, Edward Tomson stepped in and still delivered the original completion date. Kerry Haynes, Jennifer Carter, Karen Wilson, Rebecca Farrow and Richard Tinkler are singled out by name, credited with responsiveness, careful will preparation and clear advice on probate sales and estate matters.

Several buyers describe costs being set out plainly from the start, with no unexpected charges arising later, and completions arriving within the timescales originally given. Dealings are repeatedly characterised as polite and professional, including in correspondence about subjects clients found unfamiliar, and first-time buyers note that their questions and concerns were met with patience. Wills, probate matters and straightforward residential purchases all feature among the instructions that drew favourable comment.

I have just had my Will done with Kerseys Solicitors. Richard Tinkler was my assigned Solicitor who made this process very simple and efficient, he covered everything that is needed as well as gives you advice on things that you are unsure of. With just 2 visits my Will was complete. Richard is really good in his job, as well as has dry humour. I would 100% recommend him if you need your Will drawing up. Thanks Richard. Good luck 👍. Regards Doug Ipswich.

I will recommend Kerseys Solicitors over and over again. Jennifer Carter and Karen Wilson were very helpful throughout the journey of our conveyancing. Very detailed, fast and quick to responses. I’m happy I chose Kerseys. They are simply the best

We used this firm of solicitors for our previous house purchase and because they gave such an efficient service, and used them again for what we hope will be our final move. They certainly did not disappoint, Jennifer Carter and her team always replied to my emails expediently and their replies and documentation was always clear and informative. Unfortunately through no fault of Kerseys, our completion was delayed by 24 hours and Gareth who was standing in for Jennifer that day ensured we were kept well informed of progress and processes. The pricing structure was clear, concise and fixed at the beginning of the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company.

Kerry at Kerseys Ipswich handled the sale of a house we previously rented out. Despite several failed offers due to buyers' changing their minds, her responsiveness and professionalism never waivered. The completion was handled to time and cost as anticipated and we would not hesitate to use Kerseys again for any future conveyancing work. Thank you Kerry for a job very well done!

We used Kerseys for the sale and purchase of our houses. They were professional, replied in a timely manner and were easy and polite to deal with. Would highly recommend and will use again in the future.

Just to be clear that Kerseys acted on behalf of the purchaser of my business not myself. We were selling a small independent convenience store. The sale should have been fairly straightforward as there were no major issues. Unfortunately, the process took just short of 2 years, mainly it has to be said, caused by the delays by Mehmet at the Ipswich office. He would communicate to my solicitor then completely ignore emails and calls from my solicitor, the agent handling the sale and even his own client for 2 - 3 weeks. He was supposed to organise a lease plan to be drawn up and after around 2 months, despite calls and emails and he still hadn’t done it, so the agent arranged it himself. This was one example of many. Now onto the disaster of completion day. Mehmet emailed my solicitor saying he was on holiday but if we had the stocktake completed in his absence then his colleague, Elliot, would help in completion. This figure was sent to Elliot on 13/05/26 at around 1pm. We heard nothing until the following morning. The email stated that he could not complete as the financial checks had not been done on the client and we would have to wait for Mehmet to return! My solicitor then replied that was unacceptable and financial checks should have been completed months ago. This finally completed on 22/05/26 and we had the hassle of doing a stock adjustment as we weren’t going to pay for another stocktake. I’m not going to blame Kerseys entirely as all the solicitors were a little slow at times but, in my opinion, Kerseys were the main reason for a sale taking nearly 2 years. The agent handling the sale was astonished it took so long and also laid the majority of the blame firmly at Mehmet’s door. These delays caused a lot of stress, worry and the initial estimate of my own legal bill to triple. Very poor.

Dealt with Edward Tomson who picked up at exchange time when another solicitors folded. he was professional and polite and brought home the exchange and completion on the original time line! We were so pleased not to loose the sale. He went over and above our expectations. Will use again in the future if required. Highly recommend to use for conveyancing. Thank you.
