Martin Kaye Solicitors in short

Martin Kaye Solicitors is a Telford-headquartered law firm with four offices across Telford, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and Wem. What stands out is the fee page: fixed sale and purchase fees start at £899 plus VAT on a published sliding scale, with transfer, identity-check and search costs itemised alongside. The firm is on the solicitors register and states Conveyancing Quality Scheme accreditation.

The paperwork beyond pricing is unusually open: the legal notices page states professional indemnity insurance of at least £3 million for each claim. Customer reviews tell a cooler story, and Google is the only public rating source on record.

Our view is that Martin Kaye suits buyers and sellers who want to see the full fee scale before making contact. The customer rating counts against it: Google shows 3.7 out of 5 from 81 reviews.
