Monarch Solicitors Anmeldelser 

I recently used **Monarch Solicitors** for my **freehold and headlease purchase**, and the service was outstanding from beginning to end. **Leah** was absolutely brilliant—highly knowledgeable, exceptionally thorough, and consistently proactive throughout the entire process.

She made what is usually a complex and stressful transaction feel seamless. Leah kept me updated at every stage, explained everything clearly, and went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was handled with care and precision. Her professionalism and dedication gave me complete peace of mind.

I cannot recommend **Monarch Solicitors** and **Leah** highly enough. If you’re looking for first-class legal support delivered with expertise and efficiency, this is the firm to trust.

I highly recommend Monarch Solicitors, very efficient and helpful. I especially recommend the Solicitor Elaine Wong, she was nice, helpful and efficient.

Hope to find a solicitor firm with Cantonese speaking service. Ms. Elaine Wong is very responsive to help me and clarify a lot of questions in relating to the conveyancing and legal matters patiently. She is accountable and reliable and let me know the progress made. Thanks for her effort and the transaction is smoothly settled.

After years of struggling to try and understand the confusing world of leasehold policies and getting nowhere trying to get through to the local council and freehold owner of our property, we finally found Monarch Solicitors. They were the only solicitors we ever spoke to who actually understood what is required to purchase the freehold for a house (not flat). Leah Whitehead was the most competent solicitor we’ve ever worked with. She was a very good communicator and handled the purchase of our freehold in a way that took all the burdens off us and within a great time frame as well. The fees we paid were reasonable and we cannot be more happy that we are finally freeholders and Leah made the process so easy for us in the end. We didn’t have to keep chasing Leah for progress updates like is so often the case when dealing with legal processes. Leah always kept us informed on what was going on behind the scenes and responded to our emails quickly. We can only recommend her wholeheartedly, especially to anyone who might be struggling with a leasehold property, we wish we’d found Monarch years ago!

Leah Whitehead of Monarch Solicitors was prompt and efficient with all matters in dealing with our case.
We wouldn't hesitate to request Leah's assistance again for future property matters.
Highly recommended.

This is our first buying, lucky we found a good solicitor. Elaine always provide professional advice, and she is very efficiency, she always have quick response for any enquiries. It made our buying more smooth. Highly recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a great experience working with Elaine Wong from Monarch Solicitors Ltd. She is very responsible, reliable, and extremely efficient. Elaine handled my property transfer smoothly and with great professionalism.

She pays close attention to detail, communicates clearly, and is always helpful throughout the process. I truly appreciate her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a solicitor to manage their property transactions.

Complex Freehold Purchase
I asked a lot of questions and both Leah and Ellis were always patient, polite and helped me understand the freehold purchase procedures.

Excellent service, did everything we needed, dealt with our a counts at-home and abroad and aided us through our house buying process.

I’m truly grateful to the law firm for their outstanding support in handling my property purchase. Everything was completed efficiently, smoothly, and on time. Special thanks to Ms. Elaine Wong for her professionalism and attention to detail throughout the entire process. Her expertise gave me great peace of mind, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and the firm to anyone looking for reliable legal assistance. Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of working with Monarch on a debt recovery case for my company. At first, I wasn’t sure how to approach the situation, but Monarch guided me through every step with clarity, professionalism and foresight.

From the initial letter before action to the subsequent communications and legal procedures, I always felt well-informed and supported. Even during an account management transition, the handover was seamless. The outgoing contact ensured the new paralegal was fully briefed, which kept everything progressing smoothly.

There was also cooperation with legal firms outside the UK, and this was handled seamlessly. Monarch coordinated everything efficiently, which gave me confidence that all aspects of the case were being managed with care and consistency.

They were also incredibly proactive in following up, always reminding me of important steps and dates. Their attention to detail was outstanding, not just in the language used in communications, but also in the overall approach and strategy. I always felt that their guidance was thoughtful, well considered and aligned with my best interests.

What stood out most was their transparency around costs. Every potential charge was clearly explained before any action was taken, so there were never any surprises. Their advice consistently prioritised my best interests, avoiding unnecessary steps that would have only added costs. This was something I truly appreciated compared to other firms.

A special thanks to Charles and Caitlin for their excellent handling of the case and for helping bring it to a successful close. I highly recommend Monarch to anyone looking for reliable, honest and client-focused legal support.

We used Monarch Solicitors for our freehold purchase and received a clear explanation of the process and fees. Everything went smoothly and was expedited without any delays. Any questions we had were answered quickly.
So we have no hesitation to recommend Monarch to anyone contemplating buying their freehold.

I had a free consultation with Serena Amani and was very impressed by her professionalism, clarity, and genuine willingness to help. She took the time to understand my situation and offered clear, practical advice without any pressure. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for honest and knowledgeable legal guidance.

I cannot recommend Joseph Diver highly enough! Joe is exceptionally knowledgeable in his field, thorough in his approach and a pleasure to work with. I am grateful for how quickly he has been able to complete the work and for his patience in answering all of my questions. Thank you, Joe!

Warning: Please be extremely cautious before instructing Monarch Solicitors and particularly solicitor Ian Bowen.

In my experience, this firm does not act in the best interests of its clients. Instead of resolving matters efficiently, Ian Bowen repeatedly escalates cases unnecessarily, filing multiple civil claims — six different claims within just six months — when the issues could have been properly combined or addressed through one amended claim. Claims that should never have been brought in the first place.
The particulars of those claims were completely false, incorrect, and misleading.
They were not based on any real legal foundation but were issued purely to harass and pressure me. This conduct has the effect of significantly increasing legal costs for the client, often without proper justification or strategy.

On 11 March 2025, the Rent Repayment Order (RRO) Tribunal ruled against Monarch Solicitors and Ian Bowen, finding that their conduct was unreasonable. The tribunal supported my argument that the claims they issued were baseless, harassing, and should never have been brought. Despite this clear ruling, they continued to pursue repeated false claims against me, abusing the court system and increasing pressure on me.

Furthermore, Monarch Solicitors have demonstrated a disturbing lack of regard for vulnerable individuals, including those with disabilities. Despite having full knowledge of my medical conditions and vulnerability, they continued their aggressive and unreasonable conduct without any accommodations or sensitivity. This shows a total disregard for the obligations solicitors have towards fair treatment and non-discrimination.

This firm appears to operate with only one aim: to extract as much money from their clients as possible, regardless of the strength of the legal case. They intentionally create extra work — by filing unnecessary and duplicate claims — and then charge the client for the additional work they themselves caused. If you instruct them, please demand full transparency:
• Ask for a detailed breakdown of all actions taken,
• Ask why multiple claims were filed instead of combining them,
• Ask whether simpler, more cost-effective routes were considered.

Importantly, Monarch Solicitors are currently under investigation by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) for their conduct.
This official investigation reflects the serious concerns about their behaviour, their respect for professional obligations, and the way they treat clients and opponents alike.

Additionally, Trustpilot has issued warnings suggesting that many of the positive reviews about Monarch Solicitors may not be genuine. This raises serious questions about the firm’s credibility and honesty.

Please, if you are considering using Monarch Solicitors, or have already instructed them, proceed with extreme caution.
• Insist on seeing evidence of the work done,
• Question why certain actions were taken,
• Scrutinize every invoice carefully.

In my honest view, this firm appears to be motivated purely by profit. Monarch Solicitors prioritises increasing fees over achieving fair and efficient outcomes. I have never encountered a law firm behaving in this way. Protect yourself — be very, very careful.

Monarch Solicitors were absolutely brilliant!!!! They have supported and helped our site on several pieces of work and all concerned were very impressed with their professionalism and handling of our very complex and unique situation. Mohammed, Joseph, Andrew and many others within Monarch always were on time, very reliable, and accurate with their advice guidance and support. On every occasion they delivered exactly what we wanted and will continue to use them in the future. If you have any Leasehold issues do not hesitate to use Monarch, they really know their stuff. Thank you Monarch from Limberlost Close, we are grateful for all your support and help !!!!!!
