Transfer of Equity

Of all the Solicitors I have used, I have found this firm the best. They were fairly quick (when typically a conveyancing process can be pretty slow) and were very helpful with discussing our situation and answering queries. Holly, who dealt with majority of the process for us, was great. Holly kept us informed, her responses were quick, and she was helpful and professional. I found the whole process quite easy and things were not overcomplicated. I would definitely recommend this firm.

Excellent House purchase process

We had a great experience buying our first house through BTMK and are very appreciative of all the hard work from Emily Gowers, Jade Wiseman and the team. We were kept updated throughout the process and everything was explained to us clearly, which was so important to us as first time buyers. We would definitely use BTMK again and would highly recommend their services!

Excellent service & friendly as usual

As a long term client of BTMK, my latest sale of a new build property was challenging indeed. Chris and the team had to deal with an extremely awkward buyers solicitor. Everything that was thrown at them was dealt with efficiently and within a reasonable timescale. I appreciate all the hard work that was done, thank you

I called them a week ago & they said they could do what I needed, & asked me to email for an appointment. Despite further phone calls & emails, no-one has bothered to get back to me. I told them I needed this done before the weekend & they’ve now caused me a lot of grief, & I still need to find a solicitor to do what I need.

We had such a positive experience with BTMK Marcus Baum. Yolanda and Danielle kept us fully informed at every stage of the process and dealt with all our enquiries in a timely and professional way. Yolanda took so much of the stress out of the process. We would highly recommend BTMK.

About this branch

Description

Many years ago, there were four leading law firms based in South Essex. Travell Horner, Bates & Partners, Twitchen & Musters, and finally Robinson & Kelly. The first two, Travell Horner and Bates & Partners merged and became Bates Travell, and then the other two superb law firms Twitchen & Musters and Robinson Kelly also came together to become Twitchen, Musters, Robinson & Kelly – which was a bit of a mouthful so they became TMK Solicitors in due course. These two exceptional legal practices continued until they decided to join forces and became the BTMK that we know and love today.

Practice areas

All areas of personal law such as family & matrimonial, litigation & dispute resolution, professional negligence, childcare, employment law, insolvency, personal injury & clinical negligence, wills, probate, trusts & inheritance, injunctions, contentious probate and will disputes. All areas of commercial and business related law such as commercial property (buying, selling, entering into, disposing), business sales and acquisitions, commercial litigation and dispute resolution, intellectual property, insolvency and winding-up procedures, injunctions and employer related employment work.
