Great advice on a difficult purchase negotiation

5

BTMK helped us purchase our home in London from a seller who normally deals with cash-only buyers. The negotiations were difficult, but ultimately ended well.

Due to the complexity of my matters, I have been very impressed with the service I received from BTMK Solicitors and all the staff involved in making sure that my matters completed successfully, they have shown extreme professionalism throughout . I will be using them again in the future for all legal matters and certainly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend BTMK Solicitors.

Attentive, Proactive Service

5

The last time we moved house we used a remote conveyancer and it was a shocking service - cutting a long story short, the ombudsman refunded all the fees.
This time we were recommended a local service by a good friend and it was a completely different experience. 2023 was a slow year for house sales and we were in a long 8 property chain which was on the brink of failure several times - we prepared ourselves for disappointment..
We got great advice from Matthew and Hazel that helped us navigate the challenges including assistance to improve the coordination between the 9 conveyancing teams and 8 estate agents involved. Without their first class service, clear communication and ability to build strong relationship with the agents, I don't think we would be in our dream home now - or possibly ever.
Thanks you BTMK team

An all round excellent service

5

We used BTMK to remortgage one of the properties we own in our business. Being a solicitor myself, I know what I expect in terms of service from a law firm and BTMK met and surpassed those expectations. Their pricing is incredibly competitive and their communication was prompt and friendly. We were dealing with tight deadlines and a few hurdles which didn’t phase the team, with them offering proactive solutions. A big thank you to Hazel, Matthew, Irfan and Tobias. Would definitely use again and recommend BTMK.

It was a pleasure to work with you and we will ensure your feedback is passed onto Hazel, Matthew, Irfan and Tobias. If there is anything else we can do for you in the future then please let us know – it would be our pleasure to help!

I really cant thank the colleagues at BTMK enough for their hard work and dedication to my case. I was kept informed throughout, even when my solicitor was out of office a colleague of theirs would keep in touch. Competion date was as hoped and we received the keys in the morning thanks to the quick transaction. Thanks again all Mandi

Outstanding Professional Service

BTMK were recommended by our mortgage brokers. We were super glad we decided to go with them from day 1.
Matthew Clark and Rebecca Witterick’s never failing personal attention was super reassuring. No delays and they were on top of everything throughout the entire process.

Matthew Clark and the team at BTMK are first rate - despite how busy they are at present getting lots of work through pre the end of the SDLT holiday, they have worked hard to keep me, the agent and the mortgage broker in the loop. Always available, friendly and professional I’d highly recommend them!
Thanks for all your great work.

My wife and I were very happy with the proactive service provided by Marcus Baum. Matt Clark and his team kept us informed in a friendly yet professional way. We faced a couple of late issues due entirely to others in the chain, which nearly jeopardised our purchase. Matt Clark stepped in and calmly resolved the issues, enabling the purchase to complete in good time. We are very happy with our new house and would like to thank Matt Clark and his team for their help and expertise.

This trust pilot review does not do Marcus Baum solicitors the justice with the service that they have provided me and my husband with buying our first home. Matthew Clark, Bradley Holt, Debbie Whitcombe and Yolanda Hollis have all provided exceptional sevice throughout the legal process and we couldn’t recommend them enough.
If it wasn’t for these highly proffesional and caring team we wouldn’t have a roof above our head on Monday, 3rd of September.
We highly recommend BTMK/Marcus Baum’s services to anyone who would like to feel their case is looked after fairly and received the best service they deserve.

If all conveyancers were nearly as good as we found Matthew Clark of Marcus Baum to be, the whole experience of buying a new home would be improved. The feeling of confidence we gained from the updates, explanations, and intelligent solutions offered was refreshing.

I have nothing but praise to give to the team at Marcus Baum.
From start to finish, Laura and her team have been amazing.
Professional, prompt and always there to answer any questions that myself or my fiancé had.
We chose Marcus Baum to help us with buying our 1st property. As you know it can be very stressful. But Matt, Laura and the team eased that tremendously.
I would highly recommend them.
We are now in our home and couldn’t be happier!
Thank you Marcus Baum!

BTMK acted for us in the remortgage of our property and simultaneous purchase of a buy to let property.The team involved were Matthew Clarke, Holly Pain, Hazel Bourke and Rebecca Witterick.
We were extremely impressed at the efficiency, helpfulness and courtesy shown to us. The team were readily available to speak to and if not, our calls were returned promptly. Similarly, emails were answered promptly and anything we didn't understand was explained to us. The transaction was completed in under 3 months, which, during lockdown, was very impressive.
We would not hesitate to recommend BTMK or use your services again
