Made a complicated process simple - exactly what I wanted

"Serena & Alice listened to what I needed and really took it all on board. There were obviously amendments and questions as I would have expected but much less than I had anticipated. For a process I was expecting to be hard work, it was really nice for it to just be smooth and easy."

"I can't thank Kornelia and Victoria enough for the help with my house sale. Although there were many hold ups from the buyers end, both Kornelia and Victoria kept chasing things up and keeping me informed at all times.\nI highly recommend Bright Solicitors. 😊"

Helpful and Informative

Kornelia and Victoria were very helpful during the sale of my late mother's property. It was not a straightforward sale as we had never lived in the property and didn't have knowledge about some of the more complicated aspects. Kornelia and Victoria were able to guide us through the process, and obtain all the documentation required for the sale to proceed. I am very pleased with the help and advice that they gave.

I was satisfied with my experience of drawing up a will via the Free Wills Network - arrangements were efficient throughout, and the solicitor with whom I collaborated, Abagail Watts, was friendly and helpful at all times.

Very professional and very approachable

I was extremely impressed with the conveyancing team handling the sale of my mum’s house. From start to finish, they were professional, easy to deal with, and communicated clearly throughout the process. I could always get through to Molly or Deana, who were assigned to us, which made everything much less stressful. I had done a lot of research beforehand to find a firm that would be easy to work with, and they completely lived up to my expectations. I was also very impressed by Carly Jeffery, the solicitor who visited my mum in her nursing home to set up the specific Power of Attorney. She was kind, gentle, and patient with mum. I would be happy to use Brights again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

I recently had to use Bright Solicitors following the sad passing of my father. They were very professionally at all times and were always there to answer any questions I had. They made a very difficult time a lot easier. Abbi, Chloe & Julie were all brilliant and I can't thank them enough for their help and support.

This is the second property we had to sell due to a bereavement, the first was smooth, this one more tricky and complicated. At every point Adam and Lauren were professional, helpful and worked with us to a perfect conclusion. If ever you need a solicitors, you must use Bright's. They are absolutely fantastic and I would never hesitate in recommending them. Thank you all.

Such a brilliant company to deal with. All staff are courteous, professional and diligent. My thanks to all of the team who ably assisted me with a particularly difficult contentious probate case, and in particular, a special thanks to Max Williams and Georgina Rowe, who assisted me through every stage of the process, offering support and guidance- especially when I was at my wits end at times. I'm sure that I could not have managed without them. Sue Potter

Smooth, efficient and speedy experience with Brights solicitors who made so much easier what could have been a stressful time selling my late parents’ property. Always readily available and organised, approachable and ‘on the ball’. Very much appreciated at this difficult time.

We used Brights Solicitors and were very impressed. We haven’t moved in 27 years and Kornelia and Victoria were very helpful indeed - nothing was too much trouble. Many thanks indeed for all your hard work both selling and purchasing our properties- it was very much appreciated

Amazing Solicitors

When I initially bought the house 7 years ago I went with bright solictors and they was amazing. I needed to do a transfer of equity for a divorce which included tight deadlines so did not hesitate to contact them. Deana and Molly handled my case and I can’t thank them enough for getting everything done in time and being on top of things at all times. They’ve made a very stressful 2 years a lot easier and was very good at communicating and being two steps ahead.

My experience with Bright Solicitors has been exceptional, I engaged there services to handle both the selling of my old property and purchase of the new property, I had the pleasure of Deana and Molly and later in the process Tabitha, ALL were fantastic and patient, Communication was always fast and any queries were dealt with in a timely manner, I would like to thank Deana, Molly & Tabitha for making this process relatively stress free and the issues that were experienced were not the fault of our part of the chain but they kept me up to date on these issues, I would recommend anyone to use Bright Solicitors for there conveyancing needs.

Whilst my purchase didn’t go ahead, I felt Bright Solicitors (specifically Phil) represented my interests well and were great at progressing all aspects of the new build purchase in an efficient manner. I would particularly like to thank them for navigating (what I can only assume was) a complex process of coming out of the contract after exchange due to build delays.

Absolutely outstanding. No other solicitors come close. We have just completed a complicated, stressful and at times absolutely exhausting house sale and purchase, and throughout the entire process, Jemma N, Chloe A and Julie M have been absolutely exceptional. From the very beginning, they have been professional, knowledgeable, incredibly responsive and most importantly, human. They explained everything to us in detail at every step, took what was probably hundreds of phone calls from me (sorry!), and their responsiveness and turnaround time genuinely cannot be beaten. We encountered multiple issues throughout the process (none caused by Bright), including delays, unexpected legal complications, Land Registry matters, additional statements and a complicated chain. There were so many moments where it felt like everything could potentially fall apart, but they were always on top of things. They chased and chased other solicitors in the chain, were incredibly proactive and worked tirelessly to keep everything moving. What really stood out to us was how much they cared. They didn't just deal with the legal side of things; they took the time to explain what was happening, why, what our options were and what the implications were. When I was worried, they reassured me. When something was complicated, they made it understandable. When something needed chasing, they chased it. They were also incredibly honest and realistic with us. They never made promises just to make us feel better, and we always felt that they were giving us genuinely sensible advice and fighting our corner. Most importantly, they understood how much this move meant to our family and the pressure we were under with timings and logistics. We never once felt like we were just another transaction. I have dealt with solicitors before, and I can honestly say that the level of care, communication, professionalism and commitment we have experienced from Jemma, Chloe and Julie has been completely different. I would recommend Bright without hesitation. Thank you so, so much for everything. We genuinely couldn't have asked for a better team to get us over the finish line. ❤️

Our experience with Brights Solicitors involved both the successful sale of our existing home and what became a much more complicated purchase of a property in Plymouth. The sale was handled brilliantly. The team kept everything progressing, communication was good throughout and they helped us successfully get the sale through to completion. We were extremely happy with the service we received. Unfortunately, our onward purchase was a very different story. We spent around five months progressing the purchase before a number of issues with the property eventually meant that we had to walk away. While this was obviously hugely disappointing, it certainly wasn't a reflection on the service we received from Brights. In fact, quite the opposite. Throughout what became a complicated and frustrating purchase, we always felt that Brights were looking after our interests. When concerns arose they were investigated rather than ignored, questions were asked and we were given the information we needed to understand the potential implications. Sometimes the value of a good conveyancing solicitor isn't simply demonstrated by getting you to completion. It's also demonstrated by making sure you understand when there are genuine reasons to question whether completing is the right thing to do. Brights successfully handled the sale of our home while also supporting us through an extremely challenging onward purchase. When that purchase eventually fell through, they were professional and supportive at what was a very stressful point in our house-moving journey. Thankfully, everything ultimately worked out for us and we are now happily settled in our new home. A huge thank you to the team at Brights for all of your help, professionalism and support. Despite one transaction not reaching completion, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you.

I just want to say a massive thank you to both Codie Williams and Millie Ede, and the team at Bright Solicitors, Plymouth, for assisting in the purchase of my property. Both Codie and Millie answered all my questions and explained everything in plain English. I was totally confident in the advice and guidance they provided. Both were always professional and very efficient. They replied to emails almost instantly and kept me updated on the progress of my purchase. It was an absolute pleasure working with Bright Solicitors, and they were incredible from start to finish. This is the second time I have used them, and I would definitely recommend them.
