I’ve just used the conveyancing services of Asha North for a house sale. From initial contact to setting up the account etc right the way through to completion was a very easy process. Communication was great throughout. Would definitely recommend and will be using again for a possible future house purchase.

Faith in Solicitors Restored
Having had 2 terrible experiences with previous solicitors when moving house/remortgaging, and one average one, I approached a purchase and sale transaction with some trepidation. I needn't have worried, as Asha, supported by Lisa and Becky handled everything on both sides of the transaction promptly, efficiently and thoroughly. I was always up to date with what was happening, and even when one of the other parties solicitors made a mess of things, Asha was able to sort everything and pull the whole chain back on track. When Asha went on leave just before completion, Jenny stepped in and pushed everything over the line in an equally professional and efficient manner., Barcan+Kirby, and Asha in particular have restored my faith in solicitors, and while I hope not to move again, if I do, I know where I will be going to have the conveyancing done.

Residential Conveyancing
During 2022, I was dealing (as Executor) with the sale of my late parents' house. Having engaged Purplebricks as the Estate Agent, I was somewhat obliged to also utilise one of their panel solicitors, to handle the conveyancing.
Unfortunately, the process turned out to be too complex for said panel solicitor; due to an error when the house was built, the garage was not correctly registered with the Land Registry. After dithering for a couple of months, the panel solicitor informed me in November 2022 that they were unable to continue, and effectively dis-instructed themselves.
Meanwhile, my buyer informed me that she had a deadline, with her mortgage offer expiring in February 2023. Fear spread that the sale would fall through, unless swift action was taken.
Enter Barcan & Kirby (who had previously managed my parents' legal affairs).
Firstly, I dealt with James Bell, in their Litigation Team. He wasted no time in establishing that that the garage was registered with a company who had taken over the original builders. He subsequently arranged for the title of the garage to be transferred, in order to remove this blockage on the sale.
Secondly, I dealt with Asha North, in the Thornbury Conveyancing Team. Asha was aware of the deadline that she was working to, and efficiently ensured that the sale was successfully completed with a week to spare before the buyer's mortgage offer expired.
I am pleased to say that the sale has now been completed, and both the buyer and myself are overjoyed that Barcan & Kirby literally saved the day.

Although the people I dealt with were friendly, and understood my needs, I do not feel the work I paid for protected me. I went through lengthy negotiations to find myself £000s down with the same exposed situation. I could've been better protected.
