Barcan+Kirby have been really helpful when we sold our house. We have now used their services twice and both times they have been excellent.

Would highly recommend Barcan and Kirby for purchasing and selling a property. I have used them several times before and recently. Farah and Catherine were both helpful, supportive and efficient they kept my sale going through smoothly and are local for collecting and dropping off forms or signing documents. Will use them again in the future. I have also used Barcan and Kirby for my will and divorce and will use them again in the future.

Excellent service by both Farah Akram and Catherine Hattfield of the Kingswood office.
I cannot fault the help and professionalism of them both and wouldn't hesitate to use them again if necessary.

We used B&K for both the selling and buying of properties. Farah Akram was assigned to both and the service we received was excellent. Farah is very knowledgeable and friendly and we knew we could depend on her when ever we needed any advice via email or phone. Everything went smoothly. 10 out of 10.

Excellent service, 100% recommend
Catherine and Farah are excellent at what they do, this is the second time we've used them, ask for them personally, and always will. Even when faced with managing very difficult buyers/sellers they remained professional, tenacious and are honestly are the only reason our entire chain was kept on schedule. They offer great service and communication and are a credit to their organisation. I always recommend them to friends and family.

Awful experience with Farah Akram - First time buyers
Farah Akram at Barkan and Kirby Kingswood was really bad in handling our house move. Farah failed to inform us that we needed to sign and return by post a contract and mortgage deed until (when we asked if there was anything we needed to do) 3 days before our due exchange and completion date. Once this was done we then had a 5-day wait to draw down the mortgage - this caused immense stress and meant we had to delay moving until the following week. We fully expected Farah had caused the whole chain to fall through as the sellers had a hard deadline for schools, luckily we managed to agree a week's delay.
In the month before our exchange date, Farah also went on leave without telling us for 2 weeks and having not replied to 3 emails over a 2 week period prior which again very nearly made our house sale fall through. We asked to have another solicitor on our case but the manager told us Farah was an excellent solicitor and she had talked to her about the issues, however Farah then proceeded to incorrectly withdraw our deposit funds 3 times. I've never complained about anyone online before but honestly don't use Barcan and Kirby. Luckily my partner was a solicitor so knew what she was doing and we ended up cutting out Farah and doing the final negotiations ourselves.
