As always friendly and professional service from Barrett’s for our house sale and purchase. We were particularly impressed by the response when we dropped into the office twice unannounced to sign papers. This helped to speed up the process and was also helpful because Richard could explain things in person. Iqra was also very responsive and helpful, and impressive in her knowledge.

Justin does it again. I said this last time and I'll say it again, Justin is a true Angel from , giving those who don't have a voice a voice. He immediately instils confidence in your decision making by laying out all the facts about your case one by one, then provides the best possible legal advice to help you find a resolution. If you are looking for an Employment Solicitor, this is your guy. Outstanding work Justin!

I wanted to buy a leasehold flat in Reading and used Barrett as my usual solicitor didn't feel they had the expertise to deal with leasehold. I felt Barrett were slow in putting together a report for me, but the big issue was that they knew for weeks that the property had an onerous service charge and didn't tell me. I would have pulled out immediately if I had known. In the end I had to pay them over £900 even though I had to cancel the sale. Also they didn't notice that the leaseholder sent them information on the WRONG FLAT! It took me a cursory glance to realise. Very poor service.

Like the previous dealings I have had over the years with Barrett & Co. their handling of the sale of my property was exceptional. Always available, extremely helpful, never failing to fully explain in a way that could be easily understood and totally professional. Many thanks to Barbara Kovacs.
Although I have now relocated away from Reading (but still in the UK) I was so satisfied that I will continue to consult them from afar on any future legal matters that I might have.
Thank goodness I originally found a solicitor I could rely on to deliver to my satisfaction.

Iqra and Richard provided conveyancing service for the purchase of my first property. I found the team to be professional and supportive, taking time to explain the process to a first time buyer.
I would recommend their service and I would be happy to return to Barrett & co in the future.

I have been a client of Barrett and Co for many years and have always been completely satisfied with the professionalism and dedication to guiding my late wife and me through various stages of sometimes complicated procedures in several legal areas. Courtesy and patience by all staff of the company is always a feature of every situation, and it is always a sense of relief to be able to take for granted a level of customer service, professional knowledge and courtesy which many commercial organizations regrettably do not always provide.
It is a great pleasure to unreservedly recommend Barrett and Co in all respects, the company has always provided the sort of support that every customer has the right to expect.

After 30 years living in our family home, it was time to create a new home for our grown up children and their families. With such an important change, we turned to Barrett & Co to support our sale and purchase. It was not an easy process, partly due to an odd property market following COVID and a drawn out delivery of our new home. Throughout, we had a team at Barrett & Co who stood firmly with us, shoulder to shoulder, leaning in to the task at hand. They were always the ones with ideas, ways forward and somehow managed to bring the two matters together. That makes this recommendation rather simple. You can use any conveyancing firm when things go smoothly, with Barrett & Co you have the backup of a firm who will guide you through if the ride gets a little more bumpy.

Used Barrett & Co to discuss my issue I had with David Lloyds membership. Had my first telephone consultation with the lawyer who was very helpful in explaining my legal position (after I explained the situation). He gave me all the references I need to use to respond to David Lloyds. I am very happy with the advice given.

I would like to recommend my solicitor, Justin Sadler, who helped me prepare for my 1975 Inheritance Act Case. I trusted him and he did not let me down. He was economical, kind, considerate and frank. I highly recommend him. Emily-Jane Hillman
