House conveyancing

Abagail and Amiee were really great during the sale of the property. They could not have been more helpful or efficient! Always friendly and professional with prompt answers to queries and keeping me updated at all times. I always felt I was in safe hands

Sale and Purchase

5

Previously engaged with Bright back in 2021 when we were attempting to move, it all fell through due to the inability to find a new home - however it was a fantastic experience so when we decided to have another go in April this year, we had no hesitation in approaching Bright (Penny and Abagail) and asking them to act for us. Thankfully they said yes! Pleasure to work with, very approachable and friendly - which was needed as it was quite a challenging time. Highly recommend.

Excellent service

I would highly recommend Brights. I have just completed on a house sale which was handled effectively and efficiently. I was kept informed at all stages. Brights were a pleasure to deal with.

House Purchase. Efficiency with Minimum Fuss

4

My dealings with Bright Solicitors involved a house purchase. The matter was efficient and professional. All the team involved provided clear answers to any issues and ensured the exchange and completion secured within the time frame required. I will recommend Brights if any person is in a situation to sell or purchase a property.

Took the stress out of house move

5

I chose Bright Solicitors on the recommendation of my daughter. I was impressed right from the start by their efficiency and use of IT solutions. Penny and Abagail kept me appraised of the situation throughout the process. They were approachable and knowledgeable. We exchanged contracts over the week before the completion date, which made the legal process of the move stress-free. I would certainly use Bright Solicitors again and will be recommending them to family and friends.

We used Bright solicitors for the purchase of our first property. They were a pleasure to deal with every step of the way and we found them to be highly professional, responsive and helpful.

Most of our communication was with Abagail and Penny who were fantastic to work with and they made a potentially stressful process very easy.

We will be using Bright again in future and would recommend them to anyone

Abagail and Penny were fantastic throughout the whole process of buying out the other beneficiaries in a-bit of a challenging home buying situation. They were always just a the end of the phone and would always reply to emails promptly, their communication was great and always kept me informed of any developments.
Bright Solicitors we’re recommended to me and I highly recommend them as they went above and beyond my expectations.They dealt with everything efficiently and took the stress off me.
The best Solicitors out there by far!!!

Bright are outstanding solicitors. Penny Carn and Abagail Witts have been excellent throughout the conveyancing of a house sale in Plymouth. Communication and email have been first class. Their speed and efficiency have been most appreciated during a difficult time for us. I am continuing with them on other matters now and would recommend them most highly. Thank you!

I used recently the Bright Solicitors company to sell my Flat in Plymouth. I collaborated with several people from the company, such as Penny, Abagail, Deana, Victoria, and Jazmine! I have to say that it has been a very smooth experience, and whenever I needed their help they were very politely providing it! They were very patient with me, in explaning any single detail that I couldn't follow from this process. Thank you again for eveything !

Bright Solicitors have now helped us complete on both business and personal property purchases and sales and we cannot thank them enough for making all those transactions as seemless and stress-free as possible. Great communication, problem solving and professionalism at all times. Huge shout out to Penny Carn and Abagail Witt for constantly being on the ball and helping us get our dream home over the line! Looking forward to working together again in the future!

Can’t thank Bright Solicitors enough and particularly Penny and Abagail, for the efficient manner in which they dealt with my house sale and purchase. I can honestly say it was a stress free experience. I’d certainly use Bright Solicitors again and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

We had conveyening done by Aimee Sansom and Penny Carn. Absolutely top rate service, quick to reply to emails, no question felt too stupid to ask and acted with honesty and integrity throughout. A massive improvement on previous conveyancing experiences I had been through. Will definitely use again and would recommend to others.
