Very good service during the sale of a property. Timely advice and B+K handled a not-entirely-competent purchaser's solicitor very well.

We had an amazing experience with Barcan+Kirby Solicitors during the process of buying our first home! The whole process took less than 2 months, Jackie and Nicole were very supportive and always happy to provide legal advice. Their attention to details made us feel very confident and we fully recommend Barcan+Kirby Solicitors!!

I am Power of Attorney for a friend and had to arrange the sale of her home, when she went into a care home. This was a very stressful time as I really didn’t know what I needed to do and had the added problem of not actually living in the country. I used Barcan + Kirby and it was one of my best decisions. Everyone that I dealt with was so helpful, friendly and approachable. I was kept informed at every stage and any of my queries were dealt with, very quickly. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.

We had the pleasure of working with Gabrielle for our recent house purchase, and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. From start to finish, she was professional, efficient, and always on top of things. Gabrielle was incredibly responsive, consistently replying to emails quickly and keeping us updated at every stage. Thanks to her hard work and attention to detail, the entire process was smooth and completed within just 10 weeks – much faster than we expected! We highly recommend Gabrielle to anyone looking for a solicitor who is reliable, proactive, and truly dedicated to their clients.
