Excellent service. At a time when the solicitors were so hard-pressed, Peter was able to complete the sale and subsequent purchase of a new home in record time for me.

Professional and high level of service

Dunn & Baker Solicitors did the conveyancing for the sale of our house. The level of service was professional, and any queries were dealt with promptly and efficiently. We are happy to say that the whole process went very smoothly from beginning to end and we would have no problem recommending them to prospective clients.

Negotiating my Will

My having sought the help of Dunn & Baker Solicitors for house purchase and sale, it was natural to request their guidance in the task of writing my Will. They were patient and understanding as I struggled with the technical terminology. They were kind to me when errors were made signing the documents. With thankfulness, I now have my Will.

Highly respected and trustworthy, providing a deep professional knowledge across all aspects of their business.

Huge thanks to Darren & Becca who for over 9 years have been dealing with my Family Legal matters. Darren has been highly professional & understanding of my situation. Always willing to help and providing a clear & concise appraisal of the likely chain of events. I believe his personal recollections from the start of my case were instrumental in achieving a favourable outcome. I highly recommend his services.

I had a fantastic experience from start to finish with Dunn & Baker, Harry Coombe acted for me during my house purchase and was incredibly efficient, helpful and knowledgeable throughout. Harry replied to all emails and calls very promptly and was instrumental in ensuring the process was both thorough and smooth. I'd highly recommend Dunn & Baker to anyone.
