    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.

    We had a great experience using Backhouse for our conveyancing. Communication was excellent, everything clearly explained, and we were kept informed on progress at all times. Catie and the team were fantastic and would highly recommend.

    Amazing service from Backhouse Solicitors, especially Catie and Chelsea. We were first time buyers and completely clueless about everything but they were very clear and helpful answering all questions. Everything moved very quickly and they couldn’t have been quicker in responding to emails - truly wonderful and definitely recommend them.

    We can’t thank Catie and Chelsea at Back House Solicitors enough for everything they did to get our sale and purchase over the finish line. After our previous conveyancing firm was unable to complete our transaction, we were understandably worried about what would happen next. From the moment Catie and Chelsea took over our file, they gave us complete confidence that we were in safe hands. They made what had been a stressful and complicated process seem easy. Their communication was excellent throughout, they were always approachable, professional and proactive, and they worked incredibly hard to keep everything moving. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they were always on hand to answer our questions and keep us updated. We honestly don’t believe we would have completed without their dedication and expertise. We are so grateful for all of their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Back House Solicitors to anyone buying or selling a property. Thank you, Catie and Chelsea, for turning what could have been a nightmare into a smooth and successful completion
