Tom provided me with helpful advice over a long period of time as and when I needed it. He was clear, kind and caring and I understood the implications for all decision making. I would recommend Tom and would use him for advice should I ever need it again. He was responsive when I needed it most. His secretary was also always helpful.

Jenny was all the team were amazing from start to finish. We had a bumpy journey, especially at the end but they worked hard and went above and beyond to make sure we were fully aware of what the situation was and what they were doing to resolve it. Would really recommend.

I was very happy with the service provided by Jenny and her team, especially at the point where I could talk to them over the phone or in person they were very informative and patient with my questions as a first time buyer. I felt that they took interest in my matter and genuinely looked after me. both Lisas', Jenny, Becky and even the two lovely receptionists that I had the occasion to meet when I was physically at the office, were all willing to give the time of day which is much appreciated.

The whole team were polite, efficient and a pleasure to deal with.
Documents were sent promptly by post on request. The team made the sale and purchase as stress free as possible. I could always manage to speak on the phone to Jenny, or her team, if necessary as a direct line phone No. was given, which is helpful. I would definitely use Barcan + Kirby again should the need arise )But don't plan on moving house any time soon!)

The thought of making a will was something i had been dreading, especially on my own, as i lost my dear husband, very suddenly 2 years ago, i would like to mention how helpful the whole team were at the Thornbury branch & how Anna Molter put me at ease the moment i met her.

I purchased a house in Jan 24 with Barcan and Kirby as my solicitor, Jenny Johnson oversaw my matter with her team in the Thornbury branch, I felt well cared for most of the way through - especially after I spoke to the guy I bought the house from; his Solicitor (different company) seemed to barely work (one day a week or so), and barely put effort in in comparison, which slowed everything down.
Jenny however went out of her way to answer my questions, make sure I was aware of what I was buying and my responsibilities, made sure the property was legally good and proper, even with some difficulties thrown up by the other side.
Really happy with their service :)
Thank you!

Excellent service. As first time buyers we didn't know the process. Jenny talked us through everything and was very efficient. She was always happy to explain things and help when needed.

Jenny and Lisa were brilliant throughout the whole coveyencing process on a recent property sale & purchase. Prompt responses to emails and were always helpful when we had questions that needed answers.
No unexpected charges and all costs were clear and easy to understand following the original quotations.
Would definitely use again.
