Price breakdown was easy to understand. Mel and team were easy to get hold of and explained the processes when required. It would be great if the team provided updates every two weeks, even if there was nothing to update the client on. Also explain what steps are next to what we expect to happen.

Despite an unexpected change with my solicitor part way through the process, my case was managed smoothly and efficietly throughout. A process that I had spent a long time dreading was made much simpler and easier with the initial support and advice I received from John and subsequently the follow through and completion of the process with Ekim. Very happy with the service received throughout and i would not hesitate to use Backhouse again or to recommend. - Deborah Durno
I contacted Backhouse Solicitors to help with me with my settlement agreement. It was then I was introduced to Sarina Hayes who went through my entire agreement with a fine toothcomb and explained everything to me. During our consultation Sarina made me feel at ease and that I am in safe hands. I wanted to also thank Amy Crisp who was also available to answer any questions that had during the entire process. Thanks every so much. Would recommend to anybody that requires a solicitor.

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.

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.

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 used Backhouse Solicitors as my conveyancer for both selling my apartment and buying my house. The service was professional, efficient, and kept me updated throughout the entire process. This is the second time I've used them, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

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
