First Time Buyer

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.

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.

We were glad of the guidance and support of Kevin and his team during the probate sale of our late mother’s house. Queries were immediately acknowledged and swiftly answered. Both Kevin and his office staff were pleasant, polite and calm, just what this anxious executor needed. Excellent service, we have no hesitation in recommending.

Thank you very much for your kind review. We will let the team know.

So I have had the pleasure of dealing with both Kevin and his excellent team of Melinda and Zia who have been invaluable in keeping me up to date during all the usual fun and games of trying to sell a property. What I really like is they are not afraid to pick up the phone and actually talk to you, a rare commodity in today's world. Great job guys.
