We were always able to contact and/or meet with our solicitor or a member of his team. They were friendly, whilst remaining professional, helpful and explained things well.

Not our first time using BTMK. Matt, Hazel, Laura, Rosanne and anyone else that has been involved have all been incredibly helpful and responsive. Always appreciated. Thank you.

I required the creation of three new leases and a re-mortgage at the same time for a newly converted property. All was completed within a short time and without any issues. Also, it is worth noting that they were very cost effective in comparison to other solicitors that quoted for the work.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, Carlton. We are pleased to hear that the work was completed efficiently and that you found our service to be good value. Your comments are greatly appreciated.
We instructed BTMK as conveyancers for our first house purchase. As it was a new build, we were under a tight 6-week deadline to exchange and complete. BTMK worked efficiently to try to meet this deadline, although unfortunately due to lender response times taking a long time, this deadline was missed. We also ended up with the plot being remarketed despite being close to exchange / completion. This was no fault of BTMK and their communication with us as buyers throughout was fantastic. Zia Haque was my main point of contact (Kevin Bourley's team), and his communication, and patience in dealing with my many questions, as well as staying late to progress our file, was very much appreciated. We were understandably stressed out by the process, but Zia & Kevin's calm, communicative approach to the matter, and their expedience in dealing with issues that arose really did make a difference. We had several points that our lender needed clarifying, which took a long time despite chasing, but as soon as these came back (and we required a bespoke indemnity policy), Zia and Kevin quickly acted to obtain the necessary policy to satisfy the lender (and at a good price too). Every item from the lender was actioned swiftly in order to meet the deadline we were facing. Fortunately, we managed to exchange and complete before our final deadline to complete, and we have been left with full confidence in our purchase. It does feel that no stone has been left unturned in the purchase. I would say that one area of improvement for BTMK, particularly for purchasers of new builds, is that the lead time between instructing and the file actually being opened is too long. We waited about 10 working days (2 weeks) before any work started, so this could be looked into as an area for improvement. Once the work started, however, we have no complaints in how they dealt with us, our Seller, or our lender. Both our lenders' and our interests were fully protected in this transaction. Zia and Kevin were both fantastic, and also Kavita Ryatt in the Rayleigh office who handled our Declaration of Trust (and will be handling our Wills).
Thank you so much for the detailed review, Finlay! New-build deadlines are notoriously tight, and Zia, Kevin, and Kavita will be thrilled to hear their calm, thorough approach gave you total confidence in your first home.
Sale was completed quickly without complications. Thank you Kevin Bourley & team.

Thank you for your feedback, Teresa. We are pleased to hear that your house sale was completed efficiently and without any issues. We appreciate your recognition of Kevin and the team, and thank you for choosing our firm.
Great firm and we have used them several times now. On this occasion they helped us with our house purchase. Would recommend them.
Thank you, Liam, for your very kind review.
I cannot recommend Simran Rakkar highly enough. Simran acted as my solicitor during the purchase of my first home, and throughout the transaction she was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly patient. The purchase itself became quite stressful at times due to pressure and conflicting information from the vendor, but Simran consistently provided clear, honest advice and guided me through every stage of the process with confidence. Looking back, I now appreciate just how hard she was working behind the scenes on our behalf. Despite my many emails and requests for updates, Simran always took the time to respond thoughtfully and keep me informed. Her calm and pragmatic approach was invaluable during what can often be a very stressful process. Even after completion, when I had concerns about issues I discovered in the property, Simran was quick to advise me and explain my options clearly and honestly. I always felt that she had my best interests at heart. Thank you, Simran, for all your hard work, patience, and dedication. If I ever need conveyancing services again, I would not hesitate to use BTMK and would specifically ask for Simran.
Thank you very much for such a kind and thoughtful review.
Thank you to Gill and the team at BTMK for a great conveyancing process. I have used online conveyancers before and had a very poor experience, so using someone local made a real difference. It felt like the ball was rolling most of the time, and replies were usually received the same day, or within 2–3 days at most. Most importantly, the job got done, and when it came to exchange and completion, everything was sorted quickly and professionally. Thank you again, Gill — I really appreciate all your help!
Thank you for the kind review 🙏
BTMK were very helpful when I was buying my house. They were always there to answer questions and I cannot fault their communication. Simran was so helpful and could not recommend more.
Thank you for your kind review. 🙏
Simran Rakkar, has been my conveyancing solicitor for my last 2 buy to let properties. I have never been impressed enough to write a review for a conveyancing solicitor before, and I've dealt with a few!! She has truly been a breath of fresh air. She does her absolute best to be available and responds way quicker then I've been used to. She is extremely efficient and both btl properties went through in good time and without a hitch. She is very personable and I can whole heartedly reccomend her services in all things conveyancing. Many thanks Simran. Rgds Danny
Thank you very much for your very kind review, Daniel. We will definitely let Simran and her team know
