Catie and Chelsea were outstanding from start to finish. This was a challenging transaction with tight deadlines and real pressure right up to the final stages, but they handled everything with professionalism, persistence and clear communication throughout. Despite the time constraints and complexities, they stayed on top of every detail and ultimately got the deal over the line when it really mattered. Their responsiveness, organisation and ability to push things forward made a huge difference. Very, very pleased with the service and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Dear Ash, thank you for taking the time to leave a fantastic review for Catie and Chelsea, we are pleased to have helped with your transaction and get it over the finish line. Good luck in your new home and thank you again from the Backhouse team.
Response to queries and concerns were dealt with promptly, efficiently and courteously. The team, led by Sharan were great. I can't thank you enough for helping to bring this sale to a successful completion. I would like to thank Sharan in particular for her kindness and consideration to myself and my husband. We were very anxious throughout the 28 days between exchange of contracts and completion and Sharan managed to reassure us and remain confident throughout. The buyer also proved challenging both before and after completion. Sharan also continued to advise us on how to handle him. Thank you! All staff were very helpful and responsive. If I phoned, I was confident that my calls would be well handled and messages would be passed on and dealt with. This doesn't sound like a great deal but, as a customer, it means a lot especially when so many companies use AI-generated call handling, which is impersonal and often frustratingly unhelpful
Thank you for your review. We appreciate the positive feedback you have given us and look forward to working with you in the future.
Approachable, knowledgeable and always answer emails in a timely fashion. Straightforward, easy and a clear quotation received.
Everything was taken care of in a professional way. I was kept informed throughout. Any concerns or worries I had were explained and I felt reassured. I felt at ease knowing that I could get my questions answered. Dealing with legal situations can be daunting and stressful but I felt confident I was getting the support and guidance throughout, therefore not worried or stressed. I'd like to thank Megan for all her hard work, she was brilliant. I had a few conversations with her regarding the sale of my property. She reassured me when I had concerns. She was a pleasure to deal with and I'm very grateful for her support throughout the process. She is a real asset to Backhouse. Melanie and Madaline were great too. Thank you all ladies.
Catie and Chelsea were both so helpful, particularly towards the end of the sale process when there was some issues with the beginning of our chain. We received quick replies to all our emails and very useful advice over the phone. We also felt reassured that everything was dealt with very promptly behind the scenes.

Backhouse Solicitors completed my recent sale and purchase. Their service was outstanding, from beginning to completion. Robert, Tegan and Megan were so professional but with such a friendly approach, patient with clear communication giving me complete confidence in them throughout the entire process. Every form of contact received an efficient response from the team which I know is rare in this field! I would highly recommend their amazing service to anyone buying and selling. Backhouse made what is usually the most stressful process, smooth and worry free which is impressive!

Dear Melanie, thank you for leaving a great review for our conveyancing team, specifically Rob, Megan and Tegan. We will be sure to pass on your compliments to them and the team, and wish you luck in your new home. Thank you again from the Backhouse team.
Madalina was my main point of contact through the sale and purchase of properties. Susan Clarke was the solicitor assigned for my houses. Madalina was absolutely outstanding and always happy to help. The process was as easy as it could be due the the professionalism and very high standards of work Madalina and Susan put towards the sale and purchase for me. I cannot recommend backhouse solicitors highly enough.

I was recommended through our builder Denbury Homes and they came out very comparable with local and online solicitors with the added bonus that they knew exactly what they were doing as work with Denbury all the time with new builds. I would thoroughly recommend

Thank you for your review. We appreciate the positive feedback you have given us and look forward to working with you in the future.
My partner and I were buying our first home and unfortunately started the process with other solicitors who were slow, unresponsive, and making things unnecessarily stressful. That all changed the moment Susan Clarke took over our case. From day one, Susan was proactive, clear, and incredibly efficient. She immediately got to grips with everything, untangled the mess left by the previous solicitors, and drove the whole process forward at an impressive speed. Communication was excellent – she kept us informed every step of the way, explained everything in plain language, and always made time to answer our questions. Thanks to Susan’s professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail, what could have been a long and stressful experience turned into a smooth, straightforward journey. We genuinely felt like she cared about helping us get our home, and she went above and beyond to make it happen quickly. We can’t thank Susan enough for turning things around and helping us secure our first home. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely committed to her clients, we cannot recommend her enough.

Dear Alberto, thank you for taking the time to write a fantastic and detailed review for Susan and the team. We are thrilled you enjoyed your experience using us as your conveyancers, and if there is anything else we can do for you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be sure to pass on your brilliant feedback to the team. Thank you again from all at Backhouse Solicitors.
Colin was very helpful and dealt with my Uncle's probate professionally and efficiently. As my Uncle's estate was intestate, he gave good avice in protecting my liabilities as administrator of the estate. He responded positively to my requests and gave good advice when required. He was prompt in responding to emails. I was impressed when his team pursued an old certificate of John Lewis shares which stumped John Lewis in realising the value of the shares. They were able to achieve a successful outcome due to their tenacity in dealing with this. I was especially grateful for this as these shares were a matter of pride for my Uncle.

Great service! Thank you Backhouse.

I recently worked with Nabiha Shariff at Backhouse Solicitors on the purchase of a commercial property for East West Group Limited. From the outset, Nabiha was professional, responsive and extremely thorough in her approach. The transaction involved a number of complexities, including title matters, property enquiries and tight completion deadlines, all of which she handled with great attention to detail whilst remaining pragmatic and commercially minded. What stood out most was her clear communication and willingness to explain legal matters in a straightforward manner, enabling us to make informed decisions throughout the process. Despite various challenges, Nabiha remained proactive and focused on achieving a successful outcome. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, the transaction completed successfully and I would have no hesitation in recommending Nabiha and Backhouse Solicitors to anyone seeking commercial property legal services. Thank you again, Nabiha, for your excellent support throughout the transaction. Niraj Tanna
