Conscientious and caring management of sale/purchase

5

We had an extremely tight deadline ahead of Christmas to complete a sale and purchase. The hard work and tenacity from a number of the Brights team over an already busy period made it possible.

Another outstanding example of service by Brights.

5

We have just completed today after an interesting and slightly bumpy sale of our much loved family home. The process was bumpy due to the buyers and the only thing that made it painless was their service we both received from Annabelle O’Higgins and Connor Barclay.

The pair of them were utterly outstanding from the ‘get go’. Communication was regular, clear and all areas were explained perfectly. Their continued effort and shear determination to provide an excellent service was obvious throughout.

We both felt like we had someone ‘watching our backs’ throughout the whole process and for these we are utterly grateful.

Annabelle, Connor; you have both made our Christmas and we wish you both the very best for the future. Merry Christmas.

Staff very helpful and responsive, but process long winded and frustrating at times, by having to answer the same questions multiple times.

Conveyancing

5

A fantastic Service from start to finish and made the whole process very easy. All correspondence and request's were dealt with in a lightning quick fashion allowing the the whole procedure to go through quickly. This removed any form of stress and also saving time, which normally has some form of financial impact on a property purchase.

One part of the service which I found Especially good was in the communication aspect (when in this current time its become common for calls to be ducked or no replies to emails). The availability of a member of the bright team to always take my call or reply to a question first time was a great experience.

I must thank Annabelle, Connor and the rest of the team for a job well done

We are first time buyers and both Annabelle and Connor were incredible throughout our home purchase - explaining every step of the process, keeping us updated throughout, answering all of our questions and being pivotal in helping us to secure the exchange and completion date we’d hoped for. I’d highly recommend instructing Bright Solicitors to handle your conveyancing needs and we’ll definitely be back in the future when we take our next step. Thanks again!

Bright solicitors' conveyancing team: Annabelle O' Higgins and her assistant Connor Barclay responded promptly and efficiently to challenging circumstances and persisted with the sale of my mothers' apartment. My thanks to them for their professional and positive help with this.

Annabelle O'Higgins and Connor Barclay, in particular, are excellent.

5

We chose Bright Solicitors for our conveyancing as they are a local law firm and we'd heard positive things from friends. My wife and I would like to mention Annabelle O'Higgins, Connor Barclay and Victoria Witts, especially.

As a team , these guys were a pleasure to deal with.

Our Solicitor, Annabelle, proved to be an incredible advocate for us when things became sluggish in the chain: she liaised with us regularly and fielded our concerns all the way through. These concerns really increased, however, as time ran out and our mortgage offer was due to expire. This was a tough time for us, and Annabelle and Connor both demonstrated a high level of professional competence and the desire to help, which is just as crucial as far as we're concerned.

As well as completing this review, with pleasure, we will recommend that family and friends use Bright Solicitors and, if they can, request Annabelle and Connor in particular.

We cannot recommend Bright Solictors highly enough. Annabelle and her supporting team guided us efficiently and responsively through both our sale and purchase. Annabelle was extremely helpful, making sure we understood every stage of the process and taking the time to explain it often more than once if needed. We would 100% use them again.

As a local estate agent dealing with property sales and purchases daily we have worked with many solicitors, but Brights are a breath of fresh air, they are professional, do what they say the will do, are always friendly and nothing is too much trouble. A big shout out in particular to Annabelle and Connor. We look forward to a long future of doing business with you. Thank you :)

Annabelle and Jazmine were a pleasure to deal with during a recent house sale. It has been a difficult sale and has required much patience. Both ladies were super helpful and really responsive every time we contacted. Bright we’re very proactive with the purchase and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Brilliant! Thank you.

Many thanks to Annabelle O'Higgins and Jazmine Grant for all of their amazing hard work during the purchase of my first house! Annabelle and Jazmine were extremely professional, patient and kind, communicating and explaining things throughout the whole process to me and working diligently to secure an exchange and completion date as soon as they possibly could. I have recommended them both to a number of other people currently buying properties and requiring a solicitor. Thanks again!
