Clear, pragmatic advice during a sensitive employment matter

I instructed Elizabeth Barlow to advise me on a settlement agreement following the termination of my employment. Elizabeth provided clear, structured and pragmatic advice throughout the process. She explained the legal position, key clauses and risks in a straightforward and easy to understand way, allowing me to make an informed decision without unnecessary complexity. Communication was timely and professional, and I felt fully aware of the implications of the agreement before signing. Her approach was calm, balanced and commercially sensible, which was particularly valuable given the circumstances. I would not hesitate to recommend Elizabeth and Bramsdon & Childs to anyone requiring independent advice on a settlement agreement.

Supported by Roger and Chloe during our first time house purchase. They made us feel at ease and supported through a very important time in our life. Each step we felt supported and comfortable and they were available at any time even for small questions. Since the purchase, have used them for some legal guidance and again felt supported and comfortable. Now everything is finalised, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend and also use going forward. Thank you both for a top notch service and support!

My review score has gone down considerably because I feel the quality of service is not what it was when I did my last Will and Testament with them several years ago. Basically, my mum passed away in March 2023 and I used them again to put her estate through Probate. This was achieved within 16 weeks, which is quite impressive. Sadly, things have not been great since. The solicitor emailed me in December 2023 to inform me that the DWP were investigating me because there was a pension credits issue to do with my mum's bank account when mum died. I phoned the DWP and ranted that as an executor, I had already dispensed funds to the relevant beneficiaries, so was unhappy that they have taken several months to contact me. They told me they had contacted the solicitor 3 times between September and December 2023 and only received a response on the 3rd occasion, around the time the solicitor contacted me. As I'm sure you can appreciate, when a loved one dies and you have to do arrange a funeral, do a lot of the Probate legwork yourself to save time and money, you just really want an end to all of this. So to be told there is an investigation by the DWP 4 months after you've transferred someone's inheritance isn't exactly ideal. I should point out I do think the DWP should have contacted me in September 2023, when they contacted my solicitor, but only the DWP and the solicitor know why they didn't. In April 2024, I started an ascent on my property to get the deeds to my house. I was asked to pay the bill in October the same year and I paid immediately. I learned from Land Registry that they did not file this until 6th May 2025 and because of a backlog the earliest I can receive the deeds is 25th September 2025, although they doubt this will happen. Although I don't expect these things to be done immediately, I don't think it is right for this application to take 8 months after I have paid my bill. Also, in light of the fact that I'm applying for the deeds to be changed into my name because of my mum's passing, they could have been a bit more sensitive.

Bramsdon & Childs

Thank you for your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your recent experience did not meet your expectations, especially after previously working with us on your Will. We understand how difficult it is to manage legal matters during a time of grief, and we regret any additional stress caused by delays or communication issues—particularly around the DWP investigation and the property deed application. While some delays were outside our control, we acknowledge that our handling could have been more timely and sensitive. Please accept our sincere apologies. We take your concerns seriously and are reviewing our processes to ensure a better experience for all clients going forward. If you’d be open to a conversation, we’d appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further and see how we can make things right.

We recently used Bramsdon & Childs for the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new home, and were thoroughly impressed with the service we received. Megan, Amy, and Holly all played a part in supporting us, but a special thanks must go to Megan, who guided us throughout the entire process. Megan was incredibly responsive, understanding, and consistently went above and beyond to make what can be a very stressful process feel much more manageable. Having moved house before and experienced long delays and poor communication with other solicitors, we were genuinely blown away by how quickly Megan would reply to any queries — no matter how small — and how clearly she explained everything. We felt fully supported and well-informed at every stage. While we hope we won’t need to move again any time soon, if we do, we would not hesitate for a second to return to Megan and the team at Bramsdon & Childs. Highly recommended.

Excellent support - Property sale and purchase

I've recently had the pleasure of working with Chloe for both the sale and purchase of my properties, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I received. From start to finish, she was superb at providing clear, informative guidance and ensuring I understood every stage of the process. Communication was excellent throughout — I was kept fully updated, which made what can often be a stressful experience feel much more manageable. Her attention to detail was outstanding, giving me complete confidence that everything was being handled thoroughly and professionally. I always felt that my case was in safe hands. Thank you Chloe.

Excellent service from start to finish. The whole remortgage process was handled far quicker and more smoothly than I expected. Heidi was especially brilliant throughout, always helpful, professional, and quick to respond to any questions I had. Everything moved at lightning speed without ever feeling rushed or confusing. A genuinely stress-free experience, which is rare when dealing with property matters. Highly recommended if you want efficient solicitors who actually keep things moving.
