Speedy and communicative conveyancing

Sale of Leasehold Flat / Purchase of Freehold House
Could not fault BTMK from start to end. they were not the cheapest quote i received (not a huge amount of difference), but offering a no-sale no-fee service was key to me. Selling a leasehold flat was not going to be easy and i had a sale had fall through 5 years ago - using a different solicitor - so i was keen to make sure i wasnt paying a whole fee if the sale fell through again. i firmly believe you get what you pay for with solicitors and the team were excellent. They were easily reachable by phone and email through a very challenging process. i was the middle part of a short chain but the people at either end proved difficult to deal with. i would definitely use BTMK again and would definitely recommend them to anyone planning to buy/sell.
Even dealing with my management company and freeholder, they managed to get the whole process of a sale and purchase through a lot quicker than anyone expected.
10/10 highly recommend them
A representative from BTMK Solicitors responded to this review on 18 April, 2024:
Thank you for your glowing review of BTMK Solicitors. We're thrilled that Kevin provided you with a positive experience from start to finish. Offering a no-sale no-fee service is one of the ways we strive to make the process as stress-free as possible for our clients, and we're delighted it met your needs. It's fantastic to hear that Kevin's accessibility and efficiency helped navigate the challenges you faced during the sale and purchase process.

Estate/probate
It was a complicated Estate with assets across several countries, but Mark and Megan (with whom I dealt primarily) took this all in their stride, seeking outside expertise as necessary, eg other country legal and tax issues, bringing everything to a satisfactory conclusion, with minimum stress or worry to myself. They were a pleasure to deal with, and always available to offer sensible advice or guidance.
Partway through this Estate work, because I was happy with the service being provided, I engaged Mark to rewrite my will and also to prepare Lasting Powers of Attorney for myself and my father. Again, this work was handled quickly and efficiently, with minimum effort necessary by myself!
A representative from BTMK Solicitors responded to this review on 15 April, 2024:
Dear Caroline, Thank you, for your detailed feedback regarding your complex Estate matters. We're delighted to hear that Mark and Megan provided exceptional service, navigating legal complexities across multiple countries with ease. We appreciate your trust in engaging us for further legal services, and we're pleased to have delivered these efficiently. We'll pass your feedback over to Mark, Megan and the team; If you require assistance in the future, please feel free to reach out. Best Regards, BTMK Solicitors

Great advice on a difficult purchase negotiation
BTMK helped us purchase our home in London from a seller who normally deals with cash-only buyers. The negotiations were difficult, but ultimately ended well.

Kevin and his team acted for me in respect of the sale of my late father's house.
I was kept informed of the progress of the transaction on a regular basis by Danielle and Sophie ensured that the completion went smoothly. The whole transaction was stress free and I could not have asked for a better service. I would thoroughly recommend Kevin and his amazing team

I initially instructed a different firm of solicitors in leigh on sea where the service provided was extremely poor. Luckily I realised early enough and changed to BTMK solicitors and Joe Burns was dealing with my case. Joe is very professional and hard workig solicitor! From instruction to completion it took about 4 weeks and that included dealing with some complex issues on the way! Thank you very much!

Currently purchasing a house and the sellers are using these solicitors. Absolute joke from the beginning, delayed sending the initial paperwork to our solicitor, lied about when it was sent, slow to respond to queries and we've been waiting on them for 2 weeks now as everyone else is ready. It does not take 3 weeks to sort out an indemnity policy! No chance of exchanging this side of Christmas now as they close tomorrow and we'll be lucky if they even look at their emails today. Avoid!

BTMK acted for us in the remortgage of our property and simultaneous purchase of a buy to let property.The team involved were Matthew Clarke, Holly Pain, Hazel Bourke and Rebecca Witterick.
We were extremely impressed at the efficiency, helpfulness and courtesy shown to us. The team were readily available to speak to and if not, our calls were returned promptly. Similarly, emails were answered promptly and anything we didn't understand was explained to us. The transaction was completed in under 3 months, which, during lockdown, was very impressive.
We would not hesitate to recommend BTMK or use your services again

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.
