All Went Smoothly

Used Battens for the conveyancing of a house sale. Everything was pretty straightforward, so not excatly a challenge for them, but I have no complaints. It was handy to have a physical, local office to drop things into whilst also being able to do many things online. A little more expensive than some competitors (esp. for dealing solely with a paralegal rather than a solicitor), but maybe you get what you pay for.

Thank you for a seamless transaction. Communication with you and your team was always timely, precise and accurate leading to a prompt conclusion which defies the feedback I've been receiving from locally based friends.

I found Battens to be excellent to deal with for my home Sale & purchase. Everything was laid out clearly from the outset, & the team were very experienced. Battens made handling my transaction as stress free as possible. Rachel & the team showed great determination, knowledge & resiliance throughout & im am glad I engaged a local solicitor to handle both transactions. Would highly Recommend & use again Cheers Neil

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.

Not good . Took too long . Lots of inaccuracies. One case very simple the other more complicated. Had previously had a good experience with the company but this was then reversed.

Sarah Jackson was amazing from start to finish, supporting, advising and guiding me through all the stages of a long and difficult divorce process. Sarah was professional, sympathetic, understanding yet clear and fair at each stage. Sarah explained each step clearly and worked at my pace throughout. I would not be where I am now, stepping into a new chapter, without her. For that I am very grateful and I can't recommend Sarah enough. Thank you.

Battens have been my solicitors from many years, dealing with all kinds of law issues for me.
