Boundary Wall dispute

Although (for complex, not relevant) reasons this matter never reached the point of either negotiations or a court case, Barker Gillette staff provided us with excellent support. I would certainly go back to them in the event of future susch disputes

Outstanding Legal Support and a Brilliant Result

I cannot recommend Riaa, Baker and Gillette highly enough. My solicitor supported me throughout a very challenging property litigation matter, and thanks to her expertise, dedication, and strategic approach, we achieved a successful outcome. From the very beginning, my solicitor was professional, thorough, and incredibly reassuring. She took the time to explain every stage of the process clearly, ensuring I felt informed and confident in the decisions being made. Her attention to detail and strong advocacy were evident throughout, and she handled complex issues with both skill and determination. What truly stood out was her commitment and responsiveness — she was always available to answer questions and provided honest, practical advice when I needed it most. Property litigation can be stressful, but having such experienced solicitor on my side made all the difference. I am extremely grateful for her hard work and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of an exceptional solicitor.

More than just a service

Michael Davies has been representing me for about 35 years and I cannot recommend him or RIAA Barker Gillette highly enough. Aside from the normal conveyancing he is always on hand to advise and guide you through the difficult phases offering clear advice, particularly and when you can't see the wood for the trees. Friendly, firm, proffessional and clear. Exactly what you need. Thank you Michael! (See all the green ticked boxes below). I also would add that all of the other staff that I have had the occasion to have dealings with are equally as proffessional.

We had an excellent experience working with Michael Davies and his team on the sale of our property. They were efficient, knowledgeable, and highly diligent throughout the entire process. Communication was always prompt and clear, which made what can often be a stressful experience feel very well managed. What stood out most was their commitment even after completion — they continued to follow up on outstanding matters and ensured everything was fully finalised, even a year later. That level of care and professionalism is rare and very much appreciated. I would highly recommend their services.

Residential Sales and Purchases

This was a great client experience overall. I found that Laura was responsive and dealt clearly and commercially with any queries I had and issues that arose along the way. Between exchange and completion we had a plumbing emergency at the property and Laura was calm, reassuring and helped with our questions on how this might impact the sale and the most sensible approach to take. It all worked out and I am both grateful and impressed.

Compare Ben Marks and Martin Alfreds with MJ and Pippen - the conveyancers dream team. Both Ben and Martin were amazing in assisting us with the completion of our first purchase. Martin was always accessible, understanding and prompt when dealing with our matter. Martin kept us within the loop at every stage of the transaction and always kept us at ease providing confidence throughout. I would highly recommend both Ben and Martin to anybody who require conveyancers to deal with their matters. They are both very professional and go above and beyond to make sure your needs and interests are well looked after. We can't thank Ben and Martin enough for their terrific work, thank you.
