A very easy professional service
Reasonable cosst, itemised, prompt, efficient, quick to reply to any queries. Quote and actual invoice were consistent. Reasonable cost, cheaper than quote from esate agents suggested solicitor. Good service provided with probate and conveyancing.
It is reasonable and affordable. My solicitor understand my objectives. Members of the staff are helpful, respectful and a credit to the practice.
Friendly and comprehensive legal support
Very efficient and knowledgeable. The whole team, especially Catie were outstanding at helping us and catering to our needs. Simple, easy and relatable. I just want to thank the whole team for the help, advice and patience shown in this matter!

Excellent service. Friendly, helpful and efficient from the first contact on-wards. I was kept informed at all times, quick responses, never had to chase for anything. This is the 2nd time I've used them and hope to use them again. Backhouse Solicitors are a great team. Special thanks to George, Amy, Eleanor and Shoneen.

A huge thank you to Colin Murphy and Rhys Tilsley. Having been given poor information and charged a fortune by a previous solicitors outside of Chelmsford, Backhouse provided excellent advice and a superb service at a reasonable cost. I really needed clear answers and help, and from the minute I walked in I received great and friendly yet professional support, which saved me money. I cannot praise these guys enough. Thank you

I used Backhouse Solicitors for my recent house sale. Communication from Madalina and Susan was excellent, keeping me informed and updated throughout. Madalina was always extremely helpful and responsive with any queries as well as clarifying any details for me either over the phone or via email. Highly recommended.

Dear Fred, thank you for leaving a fantastic review for Susan and Madalina. We will be sure to pass on your feedback, and we're glad to have dealt with your sale. Thank you again from the Backhouse team.
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!

We received a great service from Mr Colin Murphy and his team. Mr Murphy listened to our request and gave us both good sound advice. Overall we are very happy with the service and advice we received.

The work done was very clear and all questions answered even 'spur of the moment' matters were dealt with quickly and effeciently. A friend of my late wife asked if I could recommend a solicitor for Will purposes and I recommended Backhouse. She later advised me that she was more than satisfied with the recommendation.
A big thank you to Holli for her professionalism, understanding and speedy response

The team were helpful and worked through some challenges with the property well. There were times when they could have provided better clearer information requests to prevent ongoing back and fourths but overall we are happy with the service. Property purchase was complete. The worked through the Attenuation tank issue well and were able to advise us on that. The team did an excellent job at delivering exactly what we expected, even through some challenges which looked as though were going to kibosh the purchase.
We have just completed on the sale of our flat and the purchase of our new house and Backhouse were the solicitors we chose. We cannot recommend Backhouse Solicitors enough, responses were timely and communication was clear throughout. Special thanks to Rob, Megan and Tegan, you helped make a stressful process smooth to deal with! Harry and Lizzy.
Dear Lizzy, thank you for leaving a great review for Rob, Megan and Tegan. We will be sure to pass on your feedback to the team and wish you luck in your new home. Thank you again from all at Backhouse Solicitors.
