    Catie and Chelsea were amazing with our purchase

    Catie and Chelsea were outstanding from start to finish. This was a challenging transaction with tight deadlines and real pressure right up to the final stages, but they handled everything with professionalism, persistence and clear communication throughout. Despite the time constraints and complexities, they stayed on top of every detail and ultimately got the deal over the line when it really mattered. Their responsiveness, organisation and ability to push things forward made a huge difference. Very, very pleased with the service and would not hesitate to recommend them.

    Catie was helpful

    Catie Edwards was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I was clearly quoted and explained the fee and sent the final settlement as confirmation.

    As first-time buyers, we were quite nervous about the whole process, but the team at Backhouse Solicitors made everything feel so smooth, fast, and clear from start to finish. They were always accommodating, answered our many questions patiently, and kept us informed throughout. A special thank you to Chelsea, Catie, and Charlotte for all your support, we really appreciated it and would highly recommend the team!

    Cannot recommend Backhouse Solicitors enough on our sale and purchase recently. Catie and Chelsea were both extremely professional yet also personable throughout the whole process and went above and beyond in terms of helping us [as the sale side of things was not the easiest!] We have also enquired with the firm for our wills [my Wife and I] as their conveyancing service has been nothing short of outstanding. Thankyou both so much for all your hard work! If we were to move again [hopefully not for another 20 years at least] we would certainly be returning to Backhouse.
