About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Excellent service, 100% recommend
Catherine and Farah are excellent at what they do, this is the second time we've used them, ask for them personally, and always will. Even when faced with managing very difficult buyers/sellers they remained professional, tenacious and are honestly are the only reason our entire chain was kept on schedule. They offer great service and communication and are a credit to their organisation. I always recommend them to friends and family.

Awful experience with Farah Akram - First time buyers
Farah Akram at Barkan and Kirby Kingswood was really bad in handling our house move. Farah failed to inform us that we needed to sign and return by post a contract and mortgage deed until (when we asked if there was anything we needed to do) 3 days before our due exchange and completion date. Once this was done we then had a 5-day wait to draw down the mortgage - this caused immense stress and meant we had to delay moving until the following week. We fully expected Farah had caused the whole chain to fall through as the sellers had a hard deadline for schools, luckily we managed to agree a week's delay. In the month before our exchange date, Farah also went on leave without telling us for 2 weeks and having not replied to 3 emails over a 2 week period prior which again very nearly made our house sale fall through. We asked to have another solicitor on our case but the manager told us Farah was an excellent solicitor and she had talked to her about the issues, however Farah then proceeded to incorrectly withdraw our deposit funds 3 times. I've never complained about anyone online before but honestly don't use Barcan and Kirby. Luckily my partner was a solicitor so knew what she was doing and we ended up cutting out Farah and doing the final negotiations ourselves.

Conveyancing
This is the second time we have used Barcan+Kirby, once to buy, once to sell, and the conveyancing team are fantastic. Maggie Hayward and Emma were super-efficient, thought of everything, and made what seemed like problems really easy to negotiate. Everything was done ahead of time, and it was nice to feel so confident all was being done properly and efficiently. Chris and Jacqueline

Excellent. In the face of chaos and frankly, a lack of professional competence from the buyer's solicitor, Gabrielle - our conveyancer - was always clear headed and straight with me with regard to the situation. This is the third time I've used Barcan Kirby and I'd thoroughly recommend them.

Residential Conveyancing
We are very happy with the service Barcan and Kirby provided. We were selling a flat that we have owned for a number of years and knew it would take some time due to having to navigate the changes in ground rent. As part of the sale we needed negotiate a deed of variation with the land lord. Sally expertise and guidance in the area were critical in getting us to the finish line. I can not speak highly enough of the service she provided to us and the effort in navigating some challenging stakeholders. Including the buyers solicitor who had to practically be coached through the entire process. A massive thank you from Gemma and I for helping us get our flat sold.

A representative from Barcan+Kirby LLP responded to this review
Hi Elaine, as discussed with Kim, all relevant documents outlining your ownership of the property have been shared with you. During your recent phone conversation with her, you confirmed you are uncertain about which of part the property is not owned. Unfortunately, this means there isn’t any further assistance we’re able to provide at this stage.

Thanks so much, from Lynn & Gary
Thanks so much from Lynn & Gary Our Review referring to: Barcan+Kirby Kingswood & Bedminster Branch staff. We have very recently completed the sale of our late mother’s bungalow via CJ Hole - Kingswood Branch, Barcan+Kirby were amongst a list of recommended Solicitors to consider using received from CJ Hole. The whole process from our first meeting with representatives from both the Kingswood and Bedminster branch right through to final completion, we found the process to be completely stress free. The team coordinated all requirements efficiently and effectively. They were excellent at keeping us up to date on all aspects of progress. We would like to add a special thanks to Caleb Kay, Laura Roberts & Robyn Eamer who we found all extremely helpful. We can’t thank the team enough for their expertise and knowledge, time, care and support. We highly recommended them. Thank you all.
