I can highly recommend Jackie Kitching as a conveyancing solicitor. Her efficiency, attention to detail were second to none. Jackie helped me conclude selling and buying on the same day which avoided my furniture going in to storage. She is a professional who is prepared to go the extra mile for her client.

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.

Business / Commercial

This was not an easy deal due to sensitivities around ownership and the circumstances for the business coming to market.
From start to finish George and her team were excellent. George set out the legal framework of the deal very clearly and was always responsive to any queries or issues that arose. The advice was clear and always commercial, not just based around the law, and understanding the deal in its entirety and the ultimate goal.
All communication was very user-friendly, and the firm’s dealings with any people within the business were always sensitive and professional.
I would certainly recommend George and team.

The service provided by the solicitor assigned to my case was exceptional. I came to Barcan + Kirby because she had represented me previously. The legal guidance, advice and support were exemplary, and in a time of crisis, stress and trauma were with sensitively and compassionately managed. The outcome of the court hearings was the right one for me and my daughter, and one that I was aiming for. I cannot recommend highly enough.

I would recommend using Barcan+Kirby. Jackie Kitching and Nicole Milstead dealt with a sale and purchase for a parent with my giving instructions under a Power of Attorney. I have bought and sold properties a number of times in the past and this was the best experience that I have had. They were quick to respond to queries and to give updates and I appreciate how helpful they were.

Couldn’t have asked for a better team to handle the sale of our Day Nursery, special thanks to Georgina who made the whole process as stress free as possible, showed endless patience and handled everything brilliantly. So grateful we had you as our solicitors.
