We recently completed our house purchase and had a fantastic experience working with this firm. Our case was handled by Robert, Tegan, and Megan, who were professional, responsive, and clear in their communication.

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.

I would like the thank the whole team for the sale of my old house purchase of my new property as my move was being rushed to the limit on a bank holiday friday at 530pm the team pulled out all the stops especially Megan being on the phone 545pm to finally complete. We would highly recommend using them again as every professional the whole way through and keeping us informed throughout the process. Once again would like to thank the whole team. Thanks John/Wendy Bostock 28th August.
Dear J Bostock, thank you for taking the time to leave a wonderful review for Megan and the team. We are glad to have got your completion over the line and wish you all the best in your new home. Thank you again from the Backhouse team.

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.
Very efficient service and quick turnaround of information. Professional, friendly, approachable and efficient service from Catie, Chelsea and all the team. It was a niche property being sold - a retirement apartment with a short lease. A special thank you to Catie and Chelsea who have been exceptional throughout.
Efficient and seamless process, easy to understand. Prompt replies to enquiries raised by us, friendly, approachable, expert advice and detailed information provided, quick completing all tasks, all team members knew status of each stage of our conveyancing process, accounts team so helpful and empathetic. We benefitted from the team's previous knowledge and experience of conveyancing on the new build development / management company that we purchased from. Just a big thank you to Sarah Smith and all her team for their expertise and support during this process. We understand from Denbury Homes that our purchase went through in record time!
Me and my partner used Backhouse for our sale & purchase. We couldn’t be more grateful for the help of Rob, Megan and Sue throughout. The process was quite stressful at times, but they really put us at ease with their quick communication, advice and professionalism. Thank you so much!
Dear Rochelle, thank you for leaving a great 5-star review for Rob, Megan and Sue. We are glad to have helped with your sale and purchase and wish you luck in your new home. Thank you again from the Backhouse Team!
Ahilan and Ben at the Chelmsford office were extremely pleasant to work with during what was a very stressful time for us. They ensured we fully understood the conveyancing process and guided us through it effortlessly, putting us at ease whenever we had a doubt or query. Thank you so much for making it a smooth process for us. We shall be back at Backhouse for our next acquisition!
Dear Easa, thank you for taking the time to leave a wonderful review for Ahilan and Ben. We are pleased to have dealt with your conveyancing and wish you luck in your new home. Thank you again from all at Backhouse Solicitors.
Sarah & Sharon were professional and completely on top of everything to do with my house sale & purchase. They gave me peace of mind and kept me informed through out the process. This resulted in a very smooth conveyancing experience on both sides and I can’t thank them enough! Backhouse will most definitely be my solicitors going forward outside of conveyancing too.

Used Backhouse Solicitors in Chelmsford to deal with the Probate of my Parents estate and the Sale of their Property. We dealt with two departments and both were very efficient and helpful, keeping us informed every step of the way. Would highly recommend for their professionalism and how they work for the best result for their client
I’ve recently used Backhouse Solicitors after being dismissed by my employer after over 30 years. I went to them just to get an offer agreement signed that my old firm had offered me. It was Sarina that told me that I had a good case for unfair dismissal and so the process began. Sarina was outstanding from start to finish. She listened to everything I had been through, and our conversations felt like a therapy session as well as legal advice. She was incredibly supportive, compassionate, and always made me feel like she was firmly in my corner. Sarina explained every stage of the process clearly, outlining all the possible options along with the risks and benefits of each approach. Her knowledge and professionalism gave me confidence throughout. After nearly 3 years of going back and forth with the other side (they were proving to be very difficult) we managed to get an out of court settlement over 3 times higher than the original offer. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Backhouse Solicitors, especially their Employment team, to anyone dealing with an employment dispute. Their support and expertise made a difficult situation so much easier to navigate.

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.
Backhouse helped me purchasing my first house. They were always very friendly and professional, Highly recommend.
