My wife and I were recommended Ms Stainton a few years back when we were buying our first property together. Sally Stainton was excellent then and really went through every detail with a fine toothed comb. She put up with weeks of back and forth with some difficult conveyancing service, on the other side, that would not provide the answers to questions raised during the process. Sally kept her cool and did not let up until all questions were answered and we were satisfied with the answers. When it came to buying another property, I did not hesitate to call Sally again. This time Ms Stainton had moved to a new firm Barcan+Kirby. I was not aware of any previous reputation of Barcan+Kirby but would always put my trust in Ms Stainton, no matter where she worked. I had the pleasure of not just Sally handling the purchase this time. The Barcan+Kirby team of Ms Stainton, Ms Artess, Ms Gough and not forgetting Ms Mann all worked diligently on the new house purchase. All my silly questions and worries were addressed in a timely manner. I never felt rushed or pressured in any aspect by the Barcan+Kirby team. Even though the house price was not very expensive the Barcan+Kirby team made me feel like a valued client. I would thoroughly recommend the Barcan+Kirby team and if they hired Ms Stainton, it must be a quality firm.

We recently used Barcan+Kirby Solicitors for the legal side of purchasing our first home, and we honestly couldn’t have been happier with the service we received. Buying your first house can be quite stressful and confusing at times, but the whole team made the process much easier to understand and were always helpful and professional. They kept us informed throughout the process, answered any questions we had, and helped everything move along as smoothly as possible. We really appreciated all of their hard work and support in helping us purchase our first home. We would highly recommend Barcan+Kirby to anyone looking for a reliable, professional and friendly solicitor, especially if you’re buying your first property. Thank you again for all your help in making such an important milestone possible for us!

We are very happy with the service Barcan and Kirby provided. We were selling a flat that we have owned for a number of years and knew it would take some time due to having to navigate the changes in ground rent. As part of the sale we needed negotiate a deed of variation with the land lord. Sally expertise and guidance in the area were critical in getting us to the finish line. I can not speak highly enough of the service she provided to us and the effort in navigating some challenging stakeholders. Including the buyers solicitor who had to practically be coached through the entire process. A massive thank you from Gemma and I for helping us get our flat sold.

Absolutely excellent experience with Sally and her assistant Betty throughout our flat purchase. Even though we weren’t first-time buyers, there were still plenty of moving parts, and they handled everything with real professionalism and calm efficiency. Sally was consistently thorough and reassuring at every stage, making sure nothing was missed and explaining things clearly when things got a bit technical. Betty was also fantastic — always quick to respond, on top of updates, and incredibly helpful whenever we had questions. What really stood out was how smooth the whole process felt in their hands. Communication was clear, things moved promptly, and we always felt properly looked after rather than left chasing updates (which, let’s be honest, is the horror story you hear about conveyancing). We’re genuinely grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone going through a property purchase.
