    Dealt well with micro detail buyers

    The normal transaction details were looked after without hitch. The micro detail requested by my buyers was also dealt with professionally.

    our involvement with Battens led to our losing £50,000 on our sale.

    Early in April 2024 We had buyers for our property in Chester and travelled down to Wareham to make an offer for a property we wanted. This was accepted so we went to Battens with all the necessary documentation explaining that we needed to complete by early July. We were told this would be possible. Six weeks later when we had assumed things were proceeding , we were contacted by Battens to be told we must start the whole procedure over again. Nothing had been done and we became very fearful that we would lose our purchasers. Sure enough, on July 3rd they pulled out. We were already selling our house at a loss for £395.000. It had cost us £415000. Months went by whilst we desperately sought buyers but eventually had to sell at £365.00. I blame Battens for this. We were never given reasons for the delay we experienced but I believe it was caused by using a part time solicitor who was never available when we needed advice. In the past 40 years we have bought and sold 9 properties in Wareham always using Humphries Kirk with no problems of any kind.I would not use Battens again.

    We are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with some aspects of our service as we pride ourselves on our high levels of customer care and satisfaction. We always work hard to resolve any issues that our clients may have accordingly. Unfortunately, in some cases that we deal with, we are reliant on information and input provided by third parties, and we are therefore sometimes prevented from progressing as quickly as we would like to. These are however matters which are outside of our control and where the delay is not due to us. Due to obligations of confidentiality, we cannot comment further on specifics of the matter online. We note however that we have not received any complaint from you. If you would like to discuss this further with us, please contact our Complaints Officer, Katherine Gilmour, at Battens Solicitors, Maltravers House, Petters Way, Yeovil BA20 1SH or email katherine.gilmour@battens.co.uk.

    Wonderful service.

    Dealing with Sarah Ford and Daniel Brown at Battens, Wareham, has been a joy. Very professional, helpful and personable. You couldn't ask for more from a firm of solicitors.
