Housing & Property

Fabulous service as always

I was fortunate enough to have found Vicki at Burt Brill and Cardens over ten years ago and have used her many many times. She is brilliant! Incredibly professional and always on it, when your buying or selling a house it is stressful but with Vicki you know that everything is being done in the background, if she needs info from you she will call you, if there is something to tell you she will tell you and if not you know everything is under control. I really could not recommend Vicki and BBC highly enough!

Great service

Great service buying and selling a property. Madeleiene and her colleague Esinam were quick to respond to queries, especially during the last minute scramble for exchange and completion, and offered constructive advice and support.

What a horrible experience. “You will pay a bit more but you will get the service”, they said, well we did and we didn’t. Supposedly competent in dealing with ‘Lifetime Mortgages’ we went to this Firm for that reason. We should have realised how bad things were going to be, when the first batch of forms and paperwork were sent out to someone else in error. We then endured months of poor communication by inexperienced staff, and to be honest at times what felt like incompetence. The considerable stress of moving home was only compounded by this Firm. Never again!

I was represented by Courtney Pearce and I would highly recommend her for Right to buy property purchases as she was excellent. The purchase was quite long and she was extremely patient with me and the Council when retrieving the information from us and remained very professional throughout. She was very thorough with all the fine details and was great at explaining what documents meant or breaking down the legal language. Communication was always consistent and available with Courtney and she was always great at keeping me up to date with the process. Thank you so much Courtney I wish you the best of luck with your career I am a very satisfied client.

I would avoid their conveyancing team at all costs, they are extremely slow to respond. They commit to dates to exchange and then go completely missing in the days prior rendering it not possible. Very ineffective firm and they will slow down your transaction considerably

Vicki and Ruth were a huge help during the selling of my flat. They were extremely efficient and supportive and took a lot of anxiety out of a potentially stressful process.

We sold our flat back to the council and a few firms were just not interested in acting for us. Burt Brill and Cardens had no issues, with a two tier fee system to cover any exceptional issues from the local authority explained up front and honestly. Vicki Fletcher was our lawyer and she smoothed the whole process. Always communicated well either directly or through her assistant Ruth. No real issues and we paid the lower tier fee. A great team and will certainly use B B and C again. Many thanks.

Easy to communicate with and straight forward

I used Stephanie to deal with my late partner's probate. It ended up being a lengthy process due to hmrc. Stephanie was amazing at dealing with them and keeping us informed. She wasn't scared to challenge hmrc when needed. I would highly recommend her. Many thanks.

Excellent service

I have worked with Emily on a couple of different matters. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, respectful, patient, responds in a timely fashion and both matters were successfully concluded. It was a pleasure to work with her and I would highly recommend her work to anyone.

My Will and Peace of Mind

I recently had my Will done by Emily Shearing. I cannot say enough about her professionalism in every manner. She explained everything I needed to know clearly in person and in email communications. The process was smooth and the entire team made me feel extremely comfortable and valued even down to the cup of tea. Emily was recommended to me and now I wish to highly recommend her. She is brilliant! Thank you kindly for your outstanding service and it was my pleasure to deal with you.

We have used Burt, Brill and Carden for our last 3 house transactions and they have always been personal, timely and professional in their services. Compared with other solicitors in our chains they have always looked superior.
