New wills.

They were very professional in setting up our new wills. Slightly slow at one stage, but soon resolved. Good outcome.

I was impressed and encouraged by how the work I gave them was dealt with, no solicitors are cheap, but I was happy that what they provided compared to other solicitors I've used was good value.

Battens in Bridport - conveyancing

an excellent service provided by all the team, but especially Nicola - very good at responding to my enquiries - with patience, clarity and in a friendly professional positive manner. All info was sent with clear explanations of its content and relevant sections to note, so very supportive in guiding me through the legal processes.

House sale

A refreshing change to a number of solicitors that I have previously encountered. During an extremely protracted sale, Jen Haynor always kept me informed as to the many obstacles put in the way of progressing the sale. She responded to my many communications in a timely way, and offered clear advice throughout the process. A breath of fresh air! Great work Jen.

In terms of looks, their offices are high quality, however, in terms of service, they are really poor. The service is as good as the people who are providing it. They require better training. Would not recommend.

In the past I have had some dreadful experiences with solicitors regarding the purchase and sale of property....but not this time. Battens were efficient, on the ball and did everything exactly as required without any surprises either time or cost wise. I thoroughly recommend Cate Barnes for her quiet proficiency, professionalism and competence. With her we were in great hands.

Thank you for your review and positive comments about Cate from our Conveyancing team in Poundbury. If we can be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. Kind Regards, Battens Solicitors
