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.

The best of the best!!!!!

Can’t fault David Barney and Co. at all! Our house sale was far from smooth but they supported us every step of the way. They really had the personal touch and kept us up to date. The advice given was honest and helped the sale progress. If you need a conveyancing team… look no further!

First time buyer

I had an amazing experience with Lauren throughout the whole process. She kept me up-to-date very regularly and there was great communication whenever I needed her advice or help. I Would 100% recommend to anybody who needed a conveyancer. Being a first time buyer it’s daunting but Lauren took control of everything and made the whole process of such ease. On the whole any dealings I had with anybody at David Barney were all very friendly, polite and super helpful.

Sale and Purchase

Mark has helped me purchase two properties now and both times the process has been seamless from start to finish. Very helpful and proactive in chasing things along. We’ve never had a situation where things have been held up on our end (sadly can’t say the same for other parties solicitors in the chain!). Would highly recommend him and will use in the future. Would also say the same for Beverly on the sale-side. It was the first time I’d sold a property and her help and guidance (and speed) was very helpful and appreciated. Sam also did a fantastic job along with all of the other staff that we came in to contact with along the way.

Friendly team, efficient, & ahead of the game

Had a sale & purchase dealt with, & especially impressed with the work done even before I'd had or made an offer, as it meant we were ready to go. A pity not all the legal firms were as switched on.

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 :-)
