Excellent service

Excellent, professional and efficient service provided by Ross and his conveyancing team at the Yeovil office. They made complex information regarding my transaction straightforward to understand and answered my many questions promptly. The fees were clearly set out from the start and the transaction moved forward swiftly thanks to the hard work of the team. I would definitely recommend Battens to friends and family.

I had an excellent experience working with Samantha Pattle on both the sale of my property and my onward purchase. Throughout what became a complex and at times challenging transaction, Samantha was consistently calm, clear and highly professional. Her communication was always prompt and straightforward, and she had a very steady, pragmatic approach which gave me a lot of confidence at key moments. What stood out most was her ability to remain composed under pressure and keep matters moving when things became uncertain. She provided sound, sensible advice throughout and ensured that everything progressed as smoothly as possible, ultimately getting both transactions exchanged successfully. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable and capable solicitor, and I’m very grateful for her support.

Our solicitor Jen could not have been more helpful. Our whole process of deed transfer and remortgage was clearly laid out by Jen with easy to follow steps. Her communication was always timely and response time superb. She understood our needs as a client including timeframes and worked to these and there were no hidden costs. Could not have been a better experience.

I had to change solicitors mid way through the sale/purchase procedure. Battens thankfully were prepared to undertake the 'rescue'. The staff were friendly, and very helpful, also long suffering with regard to my buyers. I have moved many times but never before received such a comprehensive folder for the purchased property. They certainly removed much of the tension from a very stressful situation. I can thoroughly recommend Battens solicitors.

Conveyancing

We felt that Nicola Pugsley looked after us very well in the purchase of a flat for our autistic son. Unfortunately, the seller lied on the Law Society Property Information Form, so now we will probably have to sell the flat again with great financial loss (tens of thousands of pounds) and emotional upset. The Law Society Property Information Form is not fit for purpose.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind comments about the service you received from our team. The Property Information Form forms part of the conveyancing process but we are sorry that your overall experience has been affected by issues arising after completion. Kind regards, Battens Solicitors
