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!

This is the third conveyance of ours, handled by Burt Brill & Cardens on our behalf. Two, reached a successful conclusion, whereas one of them was aborted, by no means in any way due to them, rather owing to a 'discovery' which surfaced, following enquiries, resulting in the transaction impossible for us to conclude. The most recent conveyance was completed on 5 August 2026 I must compliment the work carried out by Courtney Pearce, ably assisted by Kyla Mateer, who worked tirelessly, dealing with several unusual hurdles en route. There needs to be a special mention of the Head of Compliance, Richard Barr, who was of great help to us. Thank you Courtney, Kyla and Richard. Philip and Susan Brown

Drawing up Will

This was done efficiently and my wishes were taken into consideration with sensible guidance. This is a solicitors practice that retains standards that should be upheld, even in these modern times.

Professional, simple, kind

I live in Italy but needed a will for the UK. I worked with Stephanie who made the process simple and clear. They were professional throughout and made a sensitive matter easy to handle.

Daisy Tester - First class solicitor.

I cannot recommend Daisy Tester highly enough. I have had the pleasure of working with Daisy throughout what has been an extremely difficult and complicated matter, and from the very beginning she has been absolutely exceptional. Daisy combines all of the qualities you would hope for in a solicitor. She is highly knowledgeable, extremely professional, exceptionally thorough and, importantly, always incredibly responsive. Her communication has been outstanding throughout — she has consistently kept me informed, explained matters clearly and understandably, and has always made herself available when I needed guidance or reassurance. What has impressed me most, however, is the level of care and commitment Daisy brings to her work. I have always felt that she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me, rather than simply treating the matter as another case. Even during some particularly challenging periods, I always felt that I was in safe and capable hands. She has also been incredibly organised and efficient, dealing with matters promptly and ensuring that nothing was overlooked. Her attention to detail is excellent, and her ability to navigate what has been a complicated situation with calmness, professionalism and common sense has been invaluable. Daisy is not only an excellent legal professional but also an exceptionally approachable and personable person. She has been a pleasure to deal with throughout, and I have always had complete confidence in her. Daisy has been outstanding throughout, and I am enormously grateful for everything she has done for me. I would have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her to anyone looking for a highly capable, dedicated and genuinely caring solicitor. Thank you, Daisy, for everything.

Rosie has been very professional and friendly throughout the process of re-writing my Will and revising my Lasting Powers of Attorney. She explained both the processes involved and the detailed workings with clarity and precision in our face-to-face meetings and provided clear guidance in subsequent written communications. I now feel fully confident that my affairs are in good order.
