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"

Great communication and eased the process!

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.

Highly professional, available and brilliant at reassuring

I have just completed on the sale of my Mother's house through Power of Attorney. It has been a difficult journey for me - practically and emotionally. Selling a home that I have never lived in via a few files of old paperwork that my Father left behind when he died was tricky. My mother has dementia and was unable to fill in any knowledge gaps. Beverly was available throughout the process to guide, reassure and listen. I cannot thank her enough for coming up with solutions to legal challenges and supporting me through a very tough time.

Great local solicitors to use, our solicitor Aneesa, was professional, friendly, and supportive whilst managing our late mother's estate. Aneesa provided us with a clear pricing structure, so we knew what to expect when using her service to apply for Grant of Probate. Aneesa was efficient and always responded quickly with any query we raised. This provided us with the reassurance we needed at a difficult time as executors managing our late mothers' estate. We would highly recommend David Barney and Co to anyone considering using their services.

Efficient, knowledgeable and helpful

I sold my ex marital home which was complicated by the fact that my exhusband is in prison. David Barney worked everything out and made sure I was kept in the loop and understood what was going on. They were easy to talk to and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend

No complaints!

This company was great from the start, responsive and explanatory at every corner. In the event of annual leave, the staff were adequately covered and didn’t delay our process which I was worried about! They took time to explain things to us if needed, their office was local to us which made paperwork easier, and their quote was pretty much right on what they predicted. I have heard that some solicitors use an app so that clients can track progress, and this would be a good improvement to make!

Moving home

We used David Barney & Co for the sale of our property and to purchase our new one. They came recommended from our estate agents and I can see why! Beverly, Mark and their team were great, always quick to respond and very helpful and efficient. Our house move was not straight forward and took a long time but they did everything to ensure things were handled quickly and efficiently their end. Beverly was very patient and understanding with constant changes. Thank you very much Beverly, Mark and their team we appreciate all our hard work and professionalism and can say one area of our moving journey was made stress free! It was a pleasure to deal with you both. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services. Even the vendor we purchased from praised their services and would like their details for the future. Thank you very much!

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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 :-)
