DMH Stallard and Group Property Partner, Becky Miller, acted for us in the purchase of a new property. The practice was friendly, efficient, highly competent and willing to engage in straight forward conversations whilst obviously knowing all aspects of law. It has been a pleasure to deal with such solicitors. Quite rare these days!

I instructed Danielle Castle at DMH Stallard to handle the sale of my house in Brighton and the purchase of a house in Newhaven.The process took over a year because of unexpected circumstances. At one point Danielle had to hand over to her colleague Becky Miller and her paralegal Julie Clark. This could have been a very anxious-making time, but I didn’t need to worry. I was impressed by the smooth transition. At every turn Becky answered all my questions promptly and reassuringly. When the agents came up with a novel approach to the collapse of our chain, I asked Becky’s advice before agreeing and her experience was invaluable in helping me to make a decision. I felt protected by her and I had full confidence in her knowledge and experience. Julie was conscientious throughout and incredibly helpful on completion day. I have no hesitation in recommending them all and I thank them very much for facilitating this move into my new home.

I thoroughly recommend Becky Miller and her team at DMH Stallard in Horsham. They dealt very efficiently with the conveyancing required during the recent sale of my flat.All the necessary online documentation and paperwork were dealt with promptly and effectively with any associated emails/phone calls always being timely, on point and handled with open and approachable efficiency.There were a few complications on the buyer’s side, each of which were smoothly handled by Becky and her team and I was very pleased indeed to have them acting on my behalf.
Harry Yallop
The moving process is stressful enough as it is! Thankfully Becky at DMH Stallard Solicitors was already one step ahead at every issue we faced. Very professional, friendly and nothing was too much trouble or a silly question. Will definitely be using them again for any needs and recommending to family and friends
Chris Roadknight
We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Carla Hendy and Helen Earl at DMH Stallard Horsham during the conveyancing of our house purchase. From start to finish, their professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail were nothing short of exceptional.Carla and Helen guided us through every stage of the process with clarity and confidence, always taking the time to explain things in a way that was easy to understand. Their communication was impeccable — prompt, thorough, and reassuring — which made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and completely under control.Their expertise, combined with a genuinely friendly and approachable manner, made the entire experience not only seamless but actually enjoyable. We cannot thank them enough for their hard work and commitment.We would wholeheartedly recommend Carla and Helen to anyone looking for first-class conveyancing support. A truly five-star service in every respect!

Brian & Hazel BerrySolicitor Jessica Da Silva worked with us to draft and finalise our new wills. She was conscientious and supportive throughout, patiently explaining legal terminology in language we could understand. For that and for her care and consideration we are very grateful.

EXCEPTIONAL – don’t go with anyone else!!In very long and challenging house purchase chain, Becky Miller and Julie Clark at DMH Stallard Horsham were professional throughout, despite having to deal with several (local) shockingly incompetent solicitors representing other parties in our chain. They were always easy to contact, took the time to inform us of updates and explained things in simple terms. Since our completion I have already recommended them to several people and would have no hesitation in using them again to act on our behalf.
Liz Wall
Have been helped recently by Jessica. A truly caring and professional solicitor that I would recommend to anyone without hesitation.
John Griffiths
I had a great experience working with Gonzalo today. He was clear, strategic, and supportive throughout our discussion. After reviewing the details of my case, he helped me assess my position and identify how to gain leverage in my negotiation. Following our call, I was able to secure a 15% increase on the original offer I received – a significant improvement. He also gave helpful advice on next steps and was very easy to speak with. I’d absolutely recommend his services to anyone needing expert legal support and negotiation guidance. Look forward to working with your team.
Christopher Francis-King

Charles Langdale
Fantastic service from Samantha Smith at DMH Stallard. You shepherded us through a tricky transaction with such professionalism. I was particularly impressed how you were willing to pick up the phone and discuss issues and strategy with us. Gave us much confidence in a difficult situation.
Giulio Cattarin
I highly recommend Samantha’s services.Throughout the purchase of my first house, she’s been always on top of things, finding irregularities that would have gone otherwise unnoticed and caused me serious issues in later stages of the purchase, or in the future.I also liked the fact that her pricing was transparent from the beginning (fixed fee), while my previous solicitor kept on increasing the bill.In my interactions with Samantha, she’s always been calm, methodical and precise, making me feel in good hands.A well deserved 5/5!
Hayley Gunning

Colin Perry
Excellent company. Becky and her team were professional, attentive, punctual in their responses and provided a speedy conclusion to our conveyance.

This is my second experience of using DMH Stallard for conveyancing on the sale of two seperate flats. On both occasions the service and professional dealings with Becky Miller and Julie Clark has been first class. They have processed paperwork quickly and efficiently and both transactions have gone through without hitches. I would definitely use and recommend DMH Stallard again.
Jonathan Rennick
Becky provided us with a first class service. We were in a very long and complex chain with a number of issues. Becky went above and beyond in helping us negotiate and clarify all issues that arose. Furthermore, she was able to put up with all my panicky and stressed out calls/emails throughout! I would definitely recommend. (Particularly because it was a happy ending with us completing on the house we wanted!)

DMH Stallard Solicitors represented me for past 3+ years. Nigel is a very hard working solicitor, in getting me a very good outcome in my divorce proceedings, in the face of a difficult court and highly obstructive opponents.I would recommend NIgel Winter at DMH Stallard Solicitors for all family matters.

Wouldn’t hesitate to use the company again.

The service provided by Danielle Castle was efficient and comprehensive, at the same time sensitive to the needs of my elderly mother.
