We did not receive the correct information because it was only sent by email, which did not arrive as the message was too large. My advice: always insist on posted information as well,

Every aspect of the service provided was extremely good. GB and her team communicated with me brilliantly throughout the sale and were always responsive. They also collaborated superbly with the other advisers connected to the sale. GB is just impressive generally - her handling of situations and cutting through information. And funny too.
I appreciated working on a fixed price basis and the admin side of things was all very smooth.

Faith in Solicitors Restored

Having had 2 terrible experiences with previous solicitors when moving house/remortgaging, and one average one, I approached a purchase and sale transaction with some trepidation. I needn't have worried, as Asha, supported by Lisa and Becky handled everything on both sides of the transaction promptly, efficiently and thoroughly. I was always up to date with what was happening, and even when one of the other parties solicitors made a mess of things, Asha was able to sort everything and pull the whole chain back on track. When Asha went on leave just before completion, Jenny stepped in and pushed everything over the line in an equally professional and efficient manner., Barcan+Kirby, and Asha in particular have restored my faith in solicitors, and while I hope not to move again, if I do, I know where I will be going to have the conveyancing done.

We recently used Alex Castiglione at Barcan+Kirby for a property purchase using bridging finance. We couldn't recommend her enough, she helped us navigate a very complicated purchase, everything was dealt with promptly and with great communication. We would definitely like to use her again in the future.

Many thanks to Steve for picking up a very late notice request to handle the conveyancing on an auction purchase. I felt like I was in safe hands from the start and sure enough just a couple of weeks later I have the keys. Great communication throughout. Thanks so much.
