Kind, understanding, and helpful

This was our first time selling and buying simultaneously but David & Barney were great throughout the process. They helped us understand complicated processes, gave us all the information needed (and advised us kindly when we missed bits), and were flexible with their approach when it came to us

Highly recommend - Fantastic service

I would highly recommend David Barney Solicitors. Throughout the entire process of selling my house, Sam and the team were brilliant. They were always friendly, professional, and approachable. I never felt like just another client, I genuinely felt valued and that Sam and the team cared about

Conveyancing on property sale & purchase

My lawyer, Lauren Jarmain-Chew, was excellent; she and her team kept me aware of everything that was going on through the entire process. She was timely, professional and accurate at every stage, even when thrown a couple of curve-balls during the process.

Leasehold Property Purchase

Our case should have been a fairly straight forward one - chain free & no mortgage arrangements. However the firm representing the other side made the process much harder and longer than expected. Mark and his team kept us informed every step of the way and were more than happy to answer any additional questions or queries that arose. An all round excellent service.

At a time when things were quite uncertain and stressful during the process, Beverly and Sam were great to deal with, they were patient, professional and very friendly. They took time to explain everything and chased the other side. I made the right choice with the firm and have already recommended them to a friend.

lauren and others within this company collaboratively worked together to help purchase our first property. they were punctual on responses, helpful on any queries and explained anything we didn’t quite understand and was patient when we signed a few things wrong here and there. the initial quote was near enough the same, by memory, and good value for money i found when comparing other services. i preferred that they were local and had a physical office so i could drop off documents without delay. beverly was particularly helpful upon lauren's annual leave, and for the initial quote, as i was concerned things would be delayed but NO, they’ve made it all a smooth process as can be when purchasing a house! all in all, we were pretty much in within 8 weeks - which is impressive to me. i would recommend this company to anyone else.

I cannot recommend D&B Solicitors highly enough! I recently purchased my first home through them, and although we were incredibly unlucky to have two previous purchases fall through through no fault of our own, Lauren was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. Lauren held my hand every step of the way, always keeping me informed, answering all of my questions and making what could have been an extremely stressful experience feel so much easier and more manageable. Her professionalism, attention to detail and genuine commitment to helping us were outstanding. She was incredibly thorough, efficient and reassuring from start to finish, and I always felt that we were in safe hands. When we finally got the keys to our first home, it was such a huge relief, and I genuinely don’t think we could have got through the process without Lauren’s support. A huge thank you to Lauren and the whole team at D&B Solicitors for making such an important milestone in our lives as smooth as possible. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, reliable and genuinely caring solicitor. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I chose David Barney & Company to complete the legal elements of selling my late mother's property. From quote to completion, the process was simple. Lauren was great with her communication and it was refreshing to have such clear advice for completing the paperwork. Lauren was quick to respond to any queries and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Dealing with probate and property sale has been quite difficult but she really eased this as much as she could. I am very grateful for Lauren's help. I would definitely recommend David Barney and in particular Lauren.

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 :-)
