"I am very happy to recommend Christian Sereni at Barker Son & Isherwood. Christian made the process of applying for Grant of Probate - which initially seemed challenging - a very smooth one. Christian's experience shone through in our first meeting and he continued to offer clear advice"

Outstanding support and guidance.

From the outset, Jenny and Martin managed my expectations with clarity and honesty, giving me a realistic understanding of how my divorce and financial settlement could unfold. They provided clear cost estimations based on different potential scenarios, and these proved to be remarkably accurate when compared to the final expenditure, something that gave me real confidence and helped me plan effectively during a difficult time. Throughout the entire process, I felt fully supported. Communication with both Jenny and Martin, whether written or verbal, was consistently clear, timely, and reassuring. They took the time to explain each step, ensured I understood my options, and always made me feel that my case genuinely mattered. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to combine legal expertise with a human, steadying approach made an enormous difference. They provided strategic guidance while also offering the kind of calm, grounded support that is invaluable during such a challenging period. I am deeply grateful for everything they have done for me and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional legal representation.

Had a very positive experience and legal guidance from both, Jenny and Chris. Jenny supported me with my divorce journey and all legal implications of that. Chris and his team successfully helped me with Transfer of Equity on my property and dealing with various impacted parties to achieve that. The team at Barker Son & Isherwood was approachable and welcoming when visiting their office. The company's prices were fair and clearly defined.

Jenny was lovely and super helpful along with the reception staff. They were absolutely amazing until the very end, I’m still waiting for a response for attendance notes. Also I still had a few questions, but got dropped as soon as it was over for them. I would highly recommend them for family matters though, it was handled very well, just at the end I got let me down.

I’m not sure why but I’ve done this review already months ago and yet it’s still not live so having to re try. I wanted to write a review based on my wonderful experience with Julian Cole a solicitor based at this firm in Andover. My case was far from an easy straightforward one and was against the government so I had an extremely difficult fight on our hands. I had a life changing car accident which left me disabled as a result with long term injuries also. I had originally gone to a large firm in London who after a year I took the case away from as they seemed to be twiddling their thumbs and doing not a lot of anything. I was then recommended this firm by a friend and went to meet with Julian to discuss my case. It was an extremely long five years, we knew this when starting. Julian although is a quiet man upon meeting do not let that fool you into thinking that when it comes to his role he won’t perform. I can assure you that you will get the very best outcome with Julian on board. He’s extremely thorough and professional, he knows exactly what he’s doing who to get on board and provided me with some of the best barristers in the country. My case was extremely emotional for me and at times i’m sure I was a nightmare for Julian, well I know I was. He was so understanding to how I felt throughout and gave me support and wise words to reassure me the whole time. When working alongside somebody for so long you gain a very good understanding to the type of person they are. Julian is one in a million he’s not just acting on your behalf but he’s putting everything into your case because this man truly does care unlike so many. It’s been a pleasure working alongside Julian and his firm and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for helping me get the outcome we did for myself and my family and our future. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Julian Cole to anybody who is looking for the best outcome you could get coupled with a solicitor you can rely on throughout with his honesty and advice and his experience. Many thanks again to everyone that was involved we thank you and we appreciate all you have done. The Bartley-Mould family

Caroline Mills managed a delicate and difficult House sale, with tact and diplomacy. Extremely professional and supportive, I have no hesitation in recommending Caroline to anyone I know.

Thank you Barry for taking the time to let us know about the excellent service you received from Caroline in our Conveyancing Team. We look forward to assisting you (or whoever you recommend) in the future.

Use Chat GPT for a better service

I engaged BSandI over and employment settlement. The service was poor, needed to chase the team, unclear methods of charging and seemed little expertise. I would advise to look elsewhere or just use AI and save your money. Very disappointing.

I know this is a long time ago

Unfortunately Christopher Taylor was less than diligent in not pointing out that the plan for our property had a small area of unregistered land, marked in blue, whilst the registered land was marked in red. At the date of purchase (2012) I was not familiar with the law concerning unregistered land, which was also covered by indemnity insurance. Unfortunately this has led to us prejudicing our right to the land and not strictly abiding by the original transfer deed for the property. It is now causing us a lot of problems. He did, however, go down several rabbit holes, which confused us, the estate agent and the vendor and his solicitor. I wish he'd pointed the more important issue of the unregistered land as I am now trying to sell this property and this is causing a headache. Consequently I cannot recommend this partner in the firm. I felt at the time (2012), he might be lacking in experience, possibly newly promoted. I do not know. May be 14 years later this has changed. Unfortunately by the time I started checking the property plans and researching the complexities of unregistered land it was too late to go back to BSI and make a formal complaint.

A representative from Barker Son & Isherwood LLP responded to this review

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience from 2012 has caused you difficulties during your current sale, and we appreciate how frustrating boundary and title issues can be when they arise many years later. Although a significant amount of time has passed since the original transaction, we take all concerns about our service seriously. We are committed to ensuring that clients receive clear advice on title matters, including the implications of unregistered land and indemnity insurance, and we are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations in this regard. As this relates to a matter completed over a decade ago, we are unable to comment on the specific details publicly. However, we would welcome the opportunity to review the issues you are now facing and to understand whether there is any practical assistance we can offer. If you would like us to look into this further, please contact Samantha Travella directly so that we can discuss your concerns in more detail. We remain committed to maintaining high professional standards and continuously improving the service we provide. Your feedback is important to us and helps us ensure that our processes and client communication remain clear, thorough and supportive.

At no point during the conveyancing process were we made aware of the compliance requirements relating to septic tanks. As a result, we have now been required to replace the septic tank at significant personal expense amounting to £9,789.32. In short, no I do not recommend BSandI. We will be seeking further legal advice regarding potential negligence on the part of this conveyancing solicitor.

A representative from Barker Son & Isherwood LLP responded to this review

We are sorry to learn of your disappointment with the service you recently received from BS&I. Client care is of paramount importance to us and something we take very seriously. Due to client confidentiality, we are unable to address your specific case in more detail via social media.
