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.

Easy experience from start to finish

We used David & Barney for both our sale and purchase of our new property. We would definitely use them again in the future if needed. We never felt a need to chase and were kept in the loop with updates and quick response times that made the process seem easier to manage. Thanks to all the team for your help

Exceptional Service

We couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor during what was, at times, a very stressful house buying process. Mark was friendly, approachable and always spoke to us like normal human beings, rather than making everything feel overly complicated. He kept us reassured throughout, was honest and realistic with us, and never made us feel like we were a nuisance for asking questions. We always felt that he genuinely had our best interests in mind. Every step was always completed quickly and proactively, with prompt responses and without us having to chase for updates. Buying a house for the first time was daunting, but having someone so helpful and down to earth made the whole process much easier. We’re incredibly grateful for all his help and would absolutely recommend him to anyone going through the same process!

Thank you

We’ve used David Barney & Co 3 times now for house moves and they’ve been brilliant every single time. The process was smooth, communication was clear, and nothing ever felt too much trouble. Special thanks to Lauren who was absolutely on the case throughout. She was responsive, reassuring, and made what can be a stressful process so much easier. Would 100% recommend and will definitely use them again.

Mark and his team were amazing. no fuss, no stress, always answer emails and calls quickly, everything you want from a company when making probably the largest purchase of your life. My family and I have used Mark & Beverly for 7 house purchases and sales and will continue to do so. Very rare to get this level of consistent service, they should be proud.

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.
