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.

I have recently used Jackie from Barcan & Kirby for the purchase of my new home and I am very pleased with the service that I have received. Jackie is very professional, knowledgeable and approachable and I felt confident and well informed throughout the process. I highly recommend Jackie and Barcan & Kirby to anyone in need of conveyancing services.

House purchase
Barcan+Kirby acted for us in the purchase of our house. Gabrielle and Alice guided us through the process, as first-time buyers, expertly and smoothly. They were always responsive to queries and did everything promptly so that we were able to meet quite a tight completion date. I would highly recommend their service.

Purchase of 37 Rowan Drive, Emersons Green, BS16 7GZ
We are regular customers. This is the third property we have purchased with B&K as our solicitor and we can say that for all three the process has always been correct, fluid and successful. We have had the opportunity to have Stephen Parker handle our case and the opinion we have of him is unbeatable.

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.

Absolutely excellent experience with Sally and her assistant Betty throughout our flat purchase. Even though we weren’t first-time buyers, there were still plenty of moving parts, and they handled everything with real professionalism and calm efficiency. Sally was consistently thorough and reassuring at every stage, making sure nothing was missed and explaining things clearly when things got a bit technical. Betty was also fantastic — always quick to respond, on top of updates, and incredibly helpful whenever we had questions. What really stood out was how smooth the whole process felt in their hands. Communication was clear, things moved promptly, and we always felt properly looked after rather than left chasing updates (which, let’s be honest, is the horror story you hear about conveyancing). We’re genuinely grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone going through a property purchase.

Residential Conveyancing
I've now used Barcan&Kirby on two property transactions and they were brilliant both times. Easy to contact, reliable and quick to deal with issues. The estate agent dealing with our purchase said it was refreshing to work with a solicitor who was so proactive. Transparent on pricing and charged less than estimated both times. Would thoroughly recommend.

Had conveyancing practice deal with the purchase of a new home for me 4 years ago, & I’m still being told by lenders that part of the property doesn’t belong to me!!

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.

Clinical Negligence
Life changing result
Having spent 7 years with Richard dealing with my extremely complicated case, which many would have given up on, I can only offer the very highest praise.His hard work, attention to detail and never give up attitude resulted in a settlement way beyond my expectations and deserves every one of the 5 star rating. I will miss my contact with him. If you are looking for a winner, do not bypass Richard Harries. He is the most caring professional I have ever dealt with.

I would highly recommend Gareth. He was patient, supportive and always took the time to explain things clearly. Communication was excellent throughout and I always felt well informed. His negotiation skills were outstanding and he worked hard to achieve the outcome I was hoping for. I am very grateful for his professionalism, dedication and support throughout the process. I am relieved to have been able to agree on an outcome without needing to involve the courts, therefore keeping my costs as low as possible. Thank you.
