Transfer of land ownership

I recently had the pleasure of having John Heads as my solicitor in the transfer of a small piece of land. From the beginning John was quick to make contact, and continued to provide timely updates when appropriate. Thanks to John the whole process was straight forward and stress free.

Genuinely outstanding service

Genuinely outstanding service from Bridge McFarland on a buy-to-let remortgage that had more than its share of complications. Michelle Bradford, Sophie Reynolds, John Heads and Sarah Fahey worked tirelessly under real time pressure to get us over the line before our offer expired. The lender raised a series of late-stage queries — from a valuer's flag on a kitchen extension, to indemnity policies, to insurance amendments and last-minute documentation — and the team handled every single one with patience, professionalism and a real sense of urgency. Special mention to Michelle, who went the extra mile to push the lender for an earlier completion date when I asked for a bit of breathing room, and to Sophie, who kept things calmly on track through every twist. John Heads handled the guarantor requirement brilliantly — clear, thorough and reassuring throughout. Sarah was a great support behind the scenes too. They communicated clearly, responded quickly, and made what could have been an incredibly stressful process feel manageable. We completed on time despite the complications, and I genuinely felt I was in safe hands from start to finish. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bridge McFarland — a brilliant team and exactly who you want in your corner when things get tricky. Thank you all!

Complex residential property purchase

John Heads actively sought to establish very best terms possible for me during negotiations and left no stone unturned whilst consistently acting in my best interest throughout. It was a pleasure working with him and I look forward to having his professional assistance and guidance on future deals. Thank you.
