Brilliant service from Amanda

This review is for a different branch.

My partner and I were looking for a conveyancer when buying our first home. Amanda O’Hare was brilliant from the start of the process to the finish - she was efficient, kept us up to date every week and responded to emails very quickly. She was also very friendly and approachable and explained things clearly which we appreciated as the process was very new to us. We were thrilled that we were able to complete in 13 weeks. I would definitely recommend Amanda.

Mohammed was professional and made himself available, he took it upon himself to negotiate additional wording in my settlement agreement to protect me if a group grievance was successful.
He gave me confidence during a difficult time and understood my needs and concerns.

I recently used Butcher & Barlow for my Will. This was quite a complex thing for me due to my personal circumstances. However, the service I received was professional, time was taken to discuss all my worries and concerns. I am very grateful for the advice and guidance I received from Sophie during the setting up of my will. Thank you.

Selling my property

This review is for a different branch.

I instructed Butcher and Barlow to sell my property and have to say the service they gave me was outstanding. What should of been a simple transaction proved to be really difficult due to the buyers solicitor, this was no reflection on Butcher and Barlow at all, they kept my informed on progress and responded to all of my questions when I asked them. Ella Woodie was my main contact and found her to be polite, helpful and understanding of my frustrations. I will certainly use Butcher and Barlow again for my future purchases and sales.

For over 12 months, Mark Fletcher at Butcher and Barlow has been providing me with excellent legal advice. Although it sometimes might not have been what I wanted to hear, it was always in my best interests. Mark informed me of the fees up front so there were never any hidden costs. Communication and follow-up was excellent and Mark was able to discuss my case either on the phone, by email or face to face. I would highly recommend Butcher and Barlow.
