My journey with James E Barnes Solicitors began in 2010 when my cousin recommended them for the purchase of my shared ownership flat. From the outset, Jim was exceptional—taking the time to thoroughly explain the lease, my liabilities, risks, and responsibilities. He provided invaluable hints and tips, making a complex process much more manageable and giving me real peace of mind.

Fast forward to my recent move, and I knew exactly who to turn to. This time, Emma was my solicitor, and she was absolutely brilliant. Despite her busy caseload, I always felt like I was her only client. She was consistently responsive, whether by email or phone, and her advice was always comprehensive. Her knowledge and expertise are truly outstanding.

Emma expertly handled three significant transactions for me: buying a new home, staircasing my shared ownership flat to 100%, and then selling it. Each transaction was executed flawlessly, with Emma’s professionalism and efficiency shining throughout. She has a remarkable ability to get things moving—especially when dealing with housing associations, managing agents, and other solicitors.

What I appreciate most about James E Barnes Solicitors is their commitment to transparency and client care. Their legal fees are always fixed, so there are no surprises. They consistently have my best interests at heart, and their expertise in conveyancing makes the entire process easy and effective.

I cannot recommend James E Barnes Solicitors highly enough. They are absolutely brilliant and have made each property transaction as smooth and stress-free as possible. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and client-focused conveyancing firm, look no further!

I only have positive things to say about the services and advice provided by this Legal team, particularly in dealing with housing association for staircasing. I should hope to rely on this practice again if and when needed. Competent, practical, gets the job done.

Has hands and communication with the landlord to make sure valuation expires and then mortgage expires. He was told to make sure our property does not complete.

Jim has been our family law firm for many years, my dad recommended him to us, since he has helped my family purchase many properties with ease & professionalism. Jim is thorough, man of integrity, does not cut corners, sometimes he has given us free advice & carried out further work without charge which is uncommon these day. Jim is kind and a great human being, compassion that you see rarely nowadays, no wonder why my father spoke so highly of him. I have also been recommending him to my friends & other people for their peace of mind. He will not disappoint you. if you wish to speak to me I am available to verify this.
