Excellent Service and Smooth Lease Extension Process

Kelly provided an excellent service throughout my lease extension process. She kept me updated at every stage, explained everything clearly, and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. The whole process was handled professionally and efficiently, including dealing with my mortgage lender and the completion formalities. I really appreciated her attention to detail and support throughout what could have been a stressful process. I would happily recommend Kelly to anyone needing conveyancing or lease extension work carried out.

Selling my parents house was hard, but Katie made it all really easy for me. Katie was not only extremely efficient in getting it all done smoothly but was lovely and friendly which made things so much more easier for me. Kept me informed at all times and completed on time. Thank you so much Katie.

Sale of Bungalow

I cannot praise Katie highly enough, as she guided me through the sale of our bungalow. Sale slightly complicated by POA being in place and two sons not local. She was friendly, very knowledgable,,explained every step of procedure to me and even went the extra mile to help me empty the house of remaining furniture. What could have been a stressful time was made veey easy for me. Well done Katie, you deserve a 10 * rating. Very Best Wishes Christine

Excellent 5 Star Service,

We contacted Butcher and Barlow to assist in the selling of my parent’s home. From the very start we received a 5-star service. Katie in particularly deserves excellent recognition for both her professional and personal services that she provided. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything was completed correctly and on time. I wish there were more people like Katie in this world.

We were delighted to be represented by Katie Reade of Butcher and Barlow of Bramhall in connection with the sale of our residential property in Poynton. Excellent communication throughout and we were very impressed as first time clients. The journey to Completion was not without difficulties along the way but Katie’s management and determination saw us through. Job well done Katie. Our grateful thanks.

Shocking shocking shocking! Mistakes throughout including not paying the stamp duty on our property and not sending completed documents to trust Green to complete sale leaving us open to payment demands months later. The list is endless but 10 months on we are still tripping up on the shortcuts they made. Do not use butcher and Barlow for purchase and sale of Northwich properties.

Employment

Excellent service and advice from Mohammed and Maizey.

I recently used Butcher and Barlow Solicitors for an employment settlement agreement, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Mohammed and Maizey. They were prompt, professional, and took the time to explain everything I needed to know in a clear and straightforward way. The whole process was handled quickly and efficiently, making what could have been a stressful situation much easier to navigate. I would definitely recommend Mohammed and Maizey, and Butcher and Barlow Solicitors, to anyone needing advice or assistance with employment-related matters.
