I had the pleasure of having Brian look after my case. He was extremely professional and had a very good understanding of what the requirements we had. He came back to me in a timely fashion and was able to put our minds at ease. I would fully recommend Battens Solicitors and Brian.

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.

Not good . Took too long . Lots of inaccuracies. One case very simple the other more complicated. Had previously had a good experience with the company but this was then reversed.

Family Law

Divorce and Finances

Sarah Jackson was amazing from start to finish, supporting, advising and guiding me through all the stages of a long and difficult divorce process. Sarah was professional, sympathetic, understanding yet clear and fair at each stage. Sarah explained each step clearly and worked at my pace throughout. I would not be where I am now, stepping into a new chapter, without her. For that I am very grateful and I can't recommend Sarah enough. Thank you.

All Went Smoothly

Used Battens for the conveyancing of a house sale. Everything was pretty straightforward, so not excatly a challenge for them, but I have no complaints. It was handy to have a physical, local office to drop things into whilst also being able to do many things online. A little more expensive than some competitors (esp. for dealing solely with a paralegal rather than a solicitor), but maybe you get what you pay for.

Battens have been my solicitors from many years, dealing with all kinds of law issues for me.
