Excellent service

Excellent, professional and efficient service provided by Ross and his conveyancing team at the Yeovil office. They made complex information regarding my transaction straightforward to understand and answered my many questions promptly. The fees were clearly set out from the start and the transaction moved forward swiftly thanks to the hard work of the team. I would definitely recommend Battens to friends and family.

I had an excellent experience working with Samantha Pattle on both the sale of my property and my onward purchase. Throughout what became a complex and at times challenging transaction, Samantha was consistently calm, clear and highly professional. Her communication was always prompt and straightforward, and she had a very steady, pragmatic approach which gave me a lot of confidence at key moments. What stood out most was her ability to remain composed under pressure and keep matters moving when things became uncertain. She provided sound, sensible advice throughout and ensured that everything progressed as smoothly as possible, ultimately getting both transactions exchanged successfully. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable and capable solicitor, and I’m very grateful for her support.

Our solicitor Jen could not have been more helpful. Our whole process of deed transfer and remortgage was clearly laid out by Jen with easy to follow steps. Her communication was always timely and response time superb. She understood our needs as a client including timeframes and worked to these and there were no hidden costs. Could not have been a better experience.

I had to change solicitors mid way through the sale/purchase procedure. Battens thankfully were prepared to undertake the 'rescue'. The staff were friendly, and very helpful, also long suffering with regard to my buyers. I have moved many times but never before received such a comprehensive folder for the purchased property. They certainly removed much of the tension from a very stressful situation. I can thoroughly recommend Battens solicitors.

We have used Battens (Yeovil) again for the sale of our previous home and buying of our new one. Cannot recommend Ross, Mandy and Roisin enough. They were very helpful and responsive from start to finish, and even though the chain initially collapsed, they were on the ball and kept us updated every step of the way. Would definitely recommend.

Ross Siviter and Mandy Hutchinson at Battens did a fantastic job of our house move. We have moved a number of times in the past and I can safely say that the service and client care we received from the Battens team was the best we’ve ever had. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for conveyancing services.
