Wills, Trusts & Probate

Professional Will Writing incl. Property Trust Service

Will accurately reflected my intentions and the solicitor gave invaluable advice regarding the formation of a trust to safeguard fifty per cent of my property. The solicitor was friendly and approachable and had excellent back-up support.

Excellent service on executor house sale

Kevin and his team provided wonderful service and advice whilst my sister and I were selling my late mother's property. Despite 4 failed buyers, they remained on everything through till our 5th buyer and completion. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Easy to deal with despite me be 2 hours away and shared selling with my sister. Very reasonable pricing even with so many false starts. Would definitely recommend them and even considering using them when I sell, as were so much more efficient than the ones I have used locally in Lingfield for other conveyancing, and with great communications.

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!
