Sale

I give average rating because it was completed in a timely manner. However on a personal level I thought the service was poor. Dealing with a separation whilst selling a property must be something they have dealt with before. However I was left out of emails, having to have them forwarded on to me, numerous emails from me ignored. Even when I asked to be included in future, I was again left out. It did not feel personable, I was made to feel a nuisance. Asking us as the clients to chase up management companies because they’re not replying to the firm? That’s not our role. I have received two final settlement figures, so I’m still unsure if a mistake was made even though it benefitted me personally it caused unnecessary tension between the two parties involved. Overall I wouldn’t recommend.

Extremely professional team thats devoted to helping their clients

I was recommended btmk by my mortgage broker, i was put in the capable hands of Matthew clark and hazel bourke and they have both been amazing. They have been nothing but professional and proactive in getting my transaction completed in a timely manner. They have been very prompt in replying to my emails and answering my questions (theres been a lot of them) Unfortunately my first property fell through due to the other party so when i finally found another property matthew and the team sprung in to action to get this property purchase underway. Matthew knew and understood that i needed this purchase to happen quickly so he really helped get the completion done for the date i requested. I cant recommend matthew clark and his team enough, they have been brilliant and i will be forever grateful for their patience and perseverance with me as i tasked them with a challenging task but it did not phase them. Thank you so much ☺️ Look no further than btmk

Exceptional Service from Start to Finish!

I recently had the pleasure of working with BTMK Solicitors, and honestly, the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Yolanda went above and beyond to ensure that my mortgage process was as smooth and stress-free as possible. What stood out the most was Yolanda’s dedication and commitment, she was always available to answer my questions, no matter how big or small and provided regular updates to keep me in the loop. Thanks to Yolanda and the team at BTMK I was able to complete without any hiccups. I couldn't be happier with the service I received and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of any property legal services. BTMK were recommended by my mortgage broker, and I can see why. Thank you Yolanda for making my dream come true in 6 weeks, 3days and just before my big birthday!

Fast Speedy and Professional

I recently was appointed Yolanda by the mortgage company I was working with. We were under immense pressure to have everything done by a certain date. Yolanda managed this within 6 working days from start to finish, with 2 hours to spare on the deadline.She and her team are fast, responsive and I would defintely use them again.

Excellent service on our first home purchase

We can't recommend BTMK highly enough. As first-time buyers — and after a previous purchase fell through — we were nervous about the whole process, but Phillip and Nitu made it genuinely straightforward from start to finish. They were consistently responsive, kept us informed at every stage, and handled the enquiries thoroughly rather than rushing things through. When questions came up around boundaries and access, they took the time to explain everything clearly and gave us honest, practical advice so we could make informed decisions. Nothing was ever too much trouble, no matter how many questions we asked. Thanks to them, we exchanged and completed smoothly and on the timeline we'd hoped for. A huge thank you to Phillip and Nitu — we're now happily settled in our new home. If you're looking for a conveyancing team who are professional, patient and genuinely on your side, look no further.

Thank you so much for the incredible review, George! Buying your first home is already a massive milestone, but navigating it after a previous purchase has fallen through can be incredibly stressful. We are absolutely thrilled to hear that Philip and Nitu were able to put your minds at ease and make the process genuinely straightforward. Congratulations on exchanging and completing right on your ideal timeline, and we hope you both have many very happy years in your new home!

Remortgage

​I had an outstanding experience working with Gill Neil at BTMK Southend and would highly recommend her services. Conveyancing can often be a stressful and overwhelming process, but Gill made the entire transaction seamless and straightforward from start to finish. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and proactive communication were exemplary. I was kept informed at every key stage, and any potential hurdles were handled swiftly and efficiently. ​It is rare to find legal support that combines such high-level expertise with a genuinely approachable and reassuring manner. I am incredibly grateful for her hard work and dedication, and I would definitely use Gill and the team at BTMK again for any future legal needs

Really appreciate their quick and simple response. Had been back and forth with a previous firm for over 3 months, I contacted BTMK and got a phone call the same day and my questions answered. Unfortunately we can’t pursue the case I wanted, but should I ever need to for anything else then I’ll definitely come back. Great customer service, quick, courteous, and helpful! Thanks again.

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!
