What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Maitland, Tranter Lawyers has built a reputation across several generations of clients for handling property transactions, estate planning and business sales with clarity and care. Customers writing about their orders describe the conveyancing process during home purchases and sales as smooth and stress-free, with every detail reviewed and explained in plain terms.

Matthew Tranter is named repeatedly for his professionalism and patience, while Helen Pegg receives praise for guiding a business sale and Helen is also mentioned for breaking down an independent contract that a client had no idea how to approach. Sarah is thanked for supporting a first home buyer, and Melissa and Kim are acknowledged for their sensitive work on a complex estate, with the process outlined at the first meeting and followed exactly as described. A point that comes up often is the speed of responses to questions and the clear communication maintained from start to finish.

Long-standing clients speak of guidance through buying and selling family homes, wills, powers of attorney and enduring guardianship, and of legal expertise supporting a business for over two decades. More than one review highlights feeling well looked after, with thorough reviews of documents and efficient handling of settlements. The recurring theme is approachable, patient service that makes complicated legal matters understandable for individuals and families alike.

Excellent service. The sale of the business went smoothly thanks to Helen Pegg. I could not have asked better representation. Leanne wills covered the estate planning and again I was extremely satisfied with the service.

The team at Tranter Lawyers has gone above and beyond for us during the process of selling one property and buying another for the first time. Always a pleasure to speak and happy to answer any questions we had. Extremely professional, efficient and down to earth. Thanks again Tranter team!

We have been clients of Tranters for 25 years. They have guided us through all of life's adventures from buying and selling our family homes through to making of and maintaining our wills. Tranters have also supported our business with their legal expertise for more than 20 yrs. We have always received wise counsel and outstanding service. Most recently we accessed their services to help us manage Power of Attorney an Enduring Guardianship for an aging family member and updating wills as our children enter adulthood. Once again we have been extremely happy with the service and expertise Tranters continue to provide our family. We would highly recommend them to anyone seeking local, expert legal services.

Tranter Lawyers handled the legal work required in selling my home and purchasing a unit in an over 55's village. They explained each step involved in the processes and ensured I fully understood the detailed retirement village contract. As on previous occasions that I have used Tranter Lawyers, I am very impressed with the professional, efficient and friendly services provided by all the staff.

Matt Tranter and his team never disappoint. We sold our family home, and everything went without a hitch. We asked many questions, however Tranters always answered and explained to us the process. We knew we were in good hands. Thankyou Tranters for all that you did for us.

I worked with Matt Tranter and the team at Tranter Lawyers on a property matter and couldn’t be happier with the service. Matt and his team were professional, clear, and very easy to deal with. They explained everything in plain terms and handled the process efficiently from start to finish. Highly recommend.
