Testimonials

  • DB, Solicitor - London

    Valuation in leasehold reform cases is not just a matter of expertise although Marr-Johnson and Stevens have that in spades, with a wealth and depth of experience in this complex and specialist field. It is also about teamwork, communication and preparation and having the ability to guide a lay client through what is a challenging and often stressful process.

    Their real skill is in intimately knowing their subject and their market, finding solutions to problems that others may miss and calmly and effectively negotiating commercial settlements for the benefit of their clients.

    Within Prime Central London they rightly have an enviable reputation as “best in class”.

  • London Firm of Solicitors

    Prosper, Tim, Oliver and Marie make up a dynamic and cohesive team that we thoroughly enjoy working with. They deal with all types of claims, including high value lease extensions and house claims and complex collectives. They are also comfortable acting as expert witnesses in the Tribunal and Courts producing reports that are extremely thorough and very persuasive.

    Above all, they are a friendly, proactive and very enjoyable team to work with.

  • Upper Brook Street, Grosvenor Estate

    As developers this was new territory for us, and MJ&S were very helpful in providing us with an understanding of the process and the challenges and risks we would likely face.

    The MJ&S strategy appeared unusual but Prosper Marr-Johnson was able to explain and convince our main investor as to the viability of his enfranchisement project. Along with the recommendation of our solicitor, we were able to retain MJ&S who went on to negotiate through a complex argument which ultimately brought a seven-figure £ saving.

    We would strongly recommend MJ&S.

  • CM, Sheffield Terrace, London W8

    Thank you also for all your time and reassurance during our telephone calls. You always provided clear answers to my various questions and, in addition, gave much valued support to your sometimes slightly stressed client.

  • EC – Grosvenor Estate, Cadogan Estate & Howard De Walden Estate

    They are the preeminent niche firm in the leasehold enfranchisement market in London. They have detailed knowledge derived from years of successfully dealing with these cases.

  • RG, Bourne Street Grosvenor Belgravia Estate

    We have worked with Marie on a number of cases, and have always found her to have a keen eye for detail and to be personable, knowledgeable and easy to work alongside.

  • JH, Developer and Investor across the UK

    My property company has used Egerton for over 30 years in many different transactions; residential, commercial and professional. They have always been diligent and have displayed great expertise with a commercial understanding. I have no hesitation in recommending them for most areas of property work. Good communication and a great outcome every time!

  • SB, Private Investment Company

    Egerton have acted for me on a considerable number of matters, primarily in enfranchisement and lease extensions.

  • IG, Westminster, SW1

    Emma was absolutely exemplary throughout what was a large (83 flats) and complex Collective Enfranchisement process. Emma's early guidance as to valuations prove to be spot on and she also went beyond the call of duty to keep the process going through challenging times.  I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Emma and Egerton for any similarly complex situation.

  • JA, Developer

    Karis have worked with Egerton for some 5 years in which time they have managed various lease extensions for our company. Egerton have proved to be extremely diligent and professional in their approach, but also highly commercial and entrepreneurial, which is not only unusual in this sector but refreshing . The people we have dealt with are friendly, approachable, enthusiastic and really know their “stuff”. They make the process easy and do not complicate matters. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.

  • DP, Cadogan Estate

    I chose Egerton over one of the larger firms and have never regretted my decision. I value very highly their level of professionalism and efficiency that leaves me in no doubt that my property matters are in safe hands. Their knowledge and experience is second to none.

  • Private client, London SW3

    Without a doubt, it was Oliver's extensive knowledge and expertise in Leasehold Reform matters, including his thorough analysis of the issues, in-depth research of the comparables, thorough expert report and excellence in the witness stand when being cross-examined on his evidence which secured a very favourable determination for the client. I have worked with Oliver for many years and always found him to be utterly professional. His work ethic is exceptional and thoroughness of his work is second to none.

  • BS, The Church Commissioners W2

    Marie was instrumental in assisting me with the lease extension for my property in W2 and patiently talked me through my concerns regarding any assumption that the Law Commission may implement some of their proposed reforms to leasehold enfranchisements. She took the time to clearly set out all the potential outcomes, backed up with calculations, even after having successfully negotiated an excellent offer for me from the Church Commissioner regarding my property. Lease extensions and evaluating any proposed reforms, can be quite a daunting process. Marie simplified the process for me, allowing me to make the best, and most informed, decision. Marie is approachable, dedicated, transparent and professional.

  • Private Leaseholder, Mayfair W1

    Tim. I have known and admired your work over a period of years. I saw your work close at hand in a high value and important collective enfranchisement case which was heard earlier this year.  You put in an enormous amount of hard work, were full of good ideas, and produced two very good expert reports.  This led to us being able to negotiate and settle satisfactorily the valuation aspects of the case, saving several days of hearing time.  I also observed that you obviously had a good rapport with the client.

    I often deal with complicated transactions where clients require specialist knowledge and advice which Marie has always been able to provide competently and quickly. My clients trust her advice and knowledge implicitly and appreciate that they can easily pick up the phone to her or send a brief email and know that they will receive a quick response. It is always a pleasure working with Marie on a transaction knowing she is such a safe pair of hands.
