Great company to deal with

"Buying and selling is so stressful and when you do the two together, you need a company who is one the ball, professional, yet treats you like a person, not just a case file. A big thank you to the team at the Sherborne office for all they did for me. I cannot recommend them highly enough"

Excellent service

Katherine was a great support in my discussions with the acquirer of my business. It is not easy "passing on" the reins when you have worked for so many years. Katherine was very clear and dealt exceptionally well in the negotiations, always fighting my corner. Many thanks Katherine.

Would thoroughly recommend

Working with Katherine and her team made a potentially complicated company sale as stress free as possible. Probably because she is so professional and very calm! I always felt that she had plenty of time for me and explained things clearly. I would thoroughly recommend her and Battens for commercial work.

A first class service.

A very efficient & professional service was provided by Naomi & Hannah during the sale of a bungalow that formed part of an estate I was the executor for. All queries were dealt with promptly and I was kept fully informed of progress throughout the sale process. I would have no hesitation in using them again or recommending them to others.

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.

Jason and the Battens team have been brilliant during our recent house purchase. Jason is really personable and was always on the other end of the phone if we had any questions. The whole process was really smooth and communication was great. We would 100% recommend them and use them again.
