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.

We were unexpectedly pleased with such quick help and competence in solving this problem.The company's employees took their work very seriously.There were also no delays with the documents.The work was carried out thoroughly and professionally. And we are very grateful to you for that. We wish you success in business and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

Brilliant service

We had a really pleasant experience. Vicki was clear and concise, always approachable and very knowledgeable. Vicki dealt with our sale and purchase and managed to get the case through in just 8 weeks. An absolute pleasure to use and should we decide to move again I'd happily use Bramsdon & Childs. Thank you

Overwhelmingly Bad.

- Final completion statement was wrong the day before completion. By four thousand pounds. - When I notified them of this, the response was: "Apologies!" - I asked for a senior partner to call me about the multiple issues, and no one has called me. - Unprofessional secretaries that lacked customer service. I was told I could try and ring back tomorrow. I was not treated like the client at all. - My solicitor confirmed to the buyer that I would be paying for Indemnity Policies, before I had even confirmed that I was happy to. I felt every demand was at my expense and nothing was pushed back to the buyer. - My initial forms were mixed up between the two branches. - I completed last week, and have yet to receive a congratulations, follow up, thank you etc. for using this firm. I am due to purchase a property in the near future and will not be using this firm and would not recommend. My mother-in-law was also recommended this firm through Chapplins and also had a terrible time. Interestingly, she was sent an email for feedback, and I have not. My concerns were communicated to Chapplins Estate Agents.

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.

Having received two recommendations for Bramsdon & Childs I am glad I appointed them for my property sale conveyancing. We unfortunately had to deal with delays and poor communication on the buyers’ solicitor side, but B&C remained steadfast, responsive and prompt in all matters. Thanks again!
