Consultant Solicitor (Commercial Property Department) and Head of Private Client Department.
An excellent problem-solver who always finds the commercial solution.

Tony was admitted as a Solicitor in 1986 after training in a large City firm. After a period as a partner in a noted London West End practice, he set up his own legal practice in 1993.

His clients have ranged from a PLC through to small businesses and professional partnerships, as well as families, individuals and their companies. This client mix allowed him to gain substantial experience, in addition to his commercial property expertise in a wide range of property transactions, commercial and employment law as well as practical expertise in Private Client work.
Tony’s interests include reading and spending time with his family.
We managed to sell our flat and buy a new house with the help of Catherine. Being in the stamp duty holiday storm and being in the middle of a chain and selling our flat through the council would have make it more difficult if not for Catherine’s proactivity, professionalism and patience. I feel like it’s been a long time since I’ve seen another profession exceed my expectation, but I’ve been blown away. I really recommend them, as I know I’ll be coming back for my next move.
If I’m ever in need of a solicitor in the UK again, I shall use Engleharts!
Value for money: Very Good – 5
Costing was clear at the outset.
I’m very pleased with the service, it has been prompt, well informed and un-invasive.
I always felt well informed during the process!
As an international Client I was never able to visit the office and reception area. However the greeting I received via email was good!
The service we received was excellent. Engleharts were superb from start to finish and I would like to thank them on behalf of my parents and myself for how well the whole process was handled in a very friendly and professional manner.
I would recommend Engleharts to anyone looking to purchase property in the Sussex area. They went above and beyond helping me in what turned out to be a complicated case. They never lost patience with me when explaining the process and were always available to speak to me. I can’t thank them enough for their help and expertise and have only gratitude for the way they helped guide me through the whole process. Amazing service.
I would like to thank you for your professional approach at each stage of this process. The whole event took me by surprise and I am thankful to you and your firm for the way you handled this . I think that is the end of the matter so, again, thank you
Dear David
We can’t thank you enough for your professional patience and forbearance in dealing with our ‘tricky’ sale. The lease extension, building work and Natwest arrangements were made much less challenging by your ability in encouraging people to ‘get on with it’.
You have been such a gentleman throughout!
Thank you so much again
Richard Woodley handled the recent sale of a property for me. He was outstanding – knowledgeable, extremely responsive, friendly and helpful. Could not fault him.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your gentle and sensitive handling of my recent business. Your care and patience made a demanding exercise…into a pleasant experience. Very many thanks!
You have been brilliant Adam, thank you for all the advice, for your kindness and understanding and for your rational approach in even the worst moments – talking to you always made me feel better! You have been the perfect support through this process that has transformed my life for the better.
Fantastic service, I highly recommend them. Both Josie and Annie stuck with me throughout a very lengthy, stressful sale and helped complete quickly when the time finally came.
I have been a client of Engleharts for the past 20 years, and Redmond and Tracy have been carrying out my conveyancing transactions for all this time. They are always very efficient and will make each transaction run smoothly from start to finish.
A big thank you for all the year’s hard work, and I look forward to continuing with our working relationship.
Many thanks indeed for being so efficient and finalising everything so speedily. You have at all times been excellent. I am genuinely relieved and pleased, that this transaction is completed, as it’s not been the easiest of times! Thank you once again for all your kindness and courtesy. It would be a pleasure to do further business with you in the future.
