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.

Cannot fault Butcher and Barlow one bit. Amy and Kimberly were so patient and extremely efficient, we didn't have to chase anything they did at all and they managed to get our house processed so smoothly, and for a good price too. Highly recommend.

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.

Dear Julie. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and for adding the update. We are sorry that your experience has felt so frustrating. We take feedback seriously and we will always look into any concerns raised.

My family could not recommend Greg enough. He has been a brilliant solicitor to us throughout our legal dispute over our share of our late mother’s property and succeeded in making sure we received our portion of the sale. We couldn’t have gotten through the dispute without his help. Highly recommend.

Completion of Litigation

I was very thankful that Thomas Sedley and Emily Scott took over a litigation which had been badly handled by another pair of solicitors in a different firm of Bury solicitors. I am now delighted to be able to say that I am a very satisfied client of B&B because Sedley & Scott outlined their plan at the outset and carried it through as quickly as the local Manchester court could process it.

As a first time executor I felt rather lost and stressed about dealing with my late aunt’s estate. The task was rather tricky in that there was no original will, just a copy. Helen Chadderton at Butcher and Barlow did a great job. She handled the job with professionalism, explaining the options, and keeping me updated on progress. Thank you to B&B, and Helen in particular.

My brother and I appointed Butcher & Barlow as our solicitors to advise and support during the administration of probate on our late father's estate. Our parents had previously used this company for approximately 25 years and had full trust in the firm. Butcher and Barlow, and in particular Samuel Dale and Jenny Brown, along with the rest of the team, proved to be knowledgeable, helpful and very supportive at such a difficult time. I have no hesitation in recommending Butcher and Barlow and will use them in the future, should the need arise. Their help was very much appreciated.

We have used Butcher and Barlow for several pieces of work recently, including shareholder agreements, work on Companies House and also commercial lease work. Specifically, Andy Mackenzie was superb in his advice around our new office space, and Jonathan Alderley was extremely helpful in ensuring that our shareholder provisions were set up appropriately and accurately. Both ensured that our work with them was low touch and very easy. 10/10
