A Bad Conveyancing Experience With Burt Brill & Cardens

Never again! My original solicitor left without warning or explanation (rarely a good sign), replaced by a less-qualified conveyancer. It all went badly downhill: I endured weeks of silence and no progress; a key document had a serious error, risking a tax liability and a fine if hadn’t noticed it; the completion timescale was ridiculously naïve and unrealistic. I lodged two formal complaints, both of which were upheld by the firm. At least that process worked – but they’ve probably had lots of practice. True, I received a significant fee reduction as a result (although no more than I deserved for the needless personal stress, inconvenience and cost). I wasn’t trying to save money – I just wanted a professional service. Many other solicitors offer that, in Brighton and beyond. Go to the Law Society (England & Wales) website and Trustpilot UK (and see this firm's reviews).

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!

Sale of property

From the day I engaged Burt Brill and Cardens to deal with the sale of my property, they were most attentive. I received regular communication's relating to the sale progress. I am very pleased indeed with these solicitors and will not hesitate to approach them again if needed.

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.

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.

Rosie guided me in making decisions regarding my will. The interview was well worthwhile as it enabled Rosie to understand my specific situation and follow through with added value suggestions. Rosie was always prompt in reply with clarity and specifics.

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.

Daisy Tester worked with efficiency, clarity, skill and compassion on my mother's will which had complications. She provided me and my brother with clear information about a possible contestation, gave us plenty of time to deal with the matter in the way that suited us and did not pressurise us into any expensive decisions. I also appreciated her regular check ins to ensure we met deadlines and were in a position to respond. She made a huge difference to us at a very difficult time both personally and legally and saved us a lot of money.

I am incredibly happy with the service I received from Rosie Smith. She has done a fantastic job helping me finalize everything, handling all the details and updates so efficiently. She made the entire process clear, straightforward, and completely stress-free. I really appreciate all her hard work and would highly recommend both Rosie smith and the firm to anyone looking for excellent legal 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!
