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.

Probate and House Sale Help

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

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.

Although the whole experience was stressful, it was made so much easier with the Backhouse team helping us all the way. The communication between the departments and our selves was first class. I would like to thank all the staff at Backhouse and could not recommend them enough Thank you all Regards Neil Harrington

It was made less painful than it could have been. For the amount of work involved I was very happy with the value for money. They made what could have been a painful experience into something less daunting. I would like to thanks Catie for her hard work in me getting my bungalow.

Sarina supported me through an employment issue which was a difficult time for me. She was highly knowledgeable, approachable and helpful every step of the way. I am so pleased with the service as she was extremely responsive due to tight deadlines and even went out of her way to ensure we came to a resolution when my employer was making the process difficult for us. Highly recommend Sarina and her team.
