Ignore any poor reviews, these guys are fantastic - Lauren Jarmain-Chew in particular. Incredibly efficient and professional, and a completely different experience to my last house purchase. I never had to chase them to get something done, which I didn't know was possible with a conveyancer! Would highly recommend.

Thank you for leaving us such an amazing review - I am glad that we have restored your faith in solicitors :-)

I appointed David Barney and Co to handle both the purchase of my new property and the sale of my existing one, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received from start to finish. Communication was second to none and the team kept me fully informed at every stage, promptly answering any questions I had. In what can often be a stressful and drawn-out process — especially completing on both properties the same day — they made the whole thing feel smooth and straightforward. I always knew the next steps which gave me real peace of mind. Beverly and Lauren were especially helpful and an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of conveyancing and will definitely use them for my next move.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review - it is always a pleasure working with and we look forward to working with you in the future.

We purchased our first house ten years ago. Our solicitor then was uncommunicative; didn't have enough staff to cover and our purchase took close to six months in a short chain - everyone agreed that our solicitor then was what kept up the entire chain. Dealing with Beverly, Mark and the rest of the team was a very refreshing change. All queries were responded to promptly and everyone involved seemed to know exactly what was going on with our sale/purchase. We again found ourselves in a relatively short chain - but this time everything was done in just over 8 weeks. The various estate agents we spoke to predicted about 12 weeks at best so we were quite impressed. We would again like to thank the team for this expediency and their professionalism.

Absolutely fantastic. My partner and I recently purchased our first home - very much like rabbits caught in headlights with very little knowledge of the conveyancing process. Our purchase was somewhat more complex, made difficult by some mortgage issues, than we had initially hoped. Despite the absolute headache, Mark, Sam, Stevie-Jean and the rest of the team were always on tap to reassure us and answer any questions. Nothing was too much fuss and there was always someone on the end of the phone. I cannot recommend Mark and his team enough, they are incredible efficient, effective and diligent. We wouldn’t think twice to employ their services again. Thank you David Barney and Co for making our first home purchasing experience a positive one! Oh and we completed at 9AM! Their finance department are on it!

We experienced fantastic service from start to finish from David Barney & Co Solicitors and we cannot recommend them enough! Mark, Beverly and the team helped us with buying our first home. Everything was made clear from start to finish and communication was fantastic. We had lots of questions along the way and every question was answered and it took the stress out of it for us and we felt confident in knowing the next steps. Excellent service, thank you! Highly recommend 😊
