The whole experience was stress free. We did not involve an estate agent, so we had to rely on our solicitors.
Our face to face contact was Ella Woodier, she was very approachable and helpful with any queries we had, responding quickly.

I had an excellent experience using Butcher & Barlow Bramhall for the drawing up of my Will. It was a difficult time for me and it seemed a bit of a daunting thing to do but Helen Chadderton made the process very clear and had a very approachable, pleasant and caring manner. Very happy with my experience, many thanks.

I have recently had the pleasure of working with Matthew Watson & Ella Woodier at Butcher and Barlow in Bramhall for the purchase of my first home. The service provided was absolutely exceptional and if you’re looking for a solicitor who goes above and beyond, look no further! From day one the communication was amazing, always available to answer any questions and addressed any concerns I had with a calming manner making the process totally stress free. I would thoroughly recommend Butcher and Barlow if you’re wanting a solicitor who actually care and gets the job done. Matthew Watson is an incredible asset and would definitely use him again in the future.
