As a first time buyer I was a little apprehensive about the house purchasing process and all the legal associated jargon. From start to finish Rachel has made the whole process simple and stress free and is super speedy at responding to any questions.

Very good experience

Brachers have provided a very good service. The solicitor, Rachel Plumb, has been helpful throughout the process of dealing with the sale of the flat. She has carried out the necessary actions at the right time, and responded quickly to queries. We have been kept informed throughout.

Brachers have provided a very good service. The solicitor, Paige Hinkins, has been helpful throughout the process of dealing with my aunt's estate. She has carried out the necessary actions at the right time, and responded quickly to queries. When she was on holiday, someone else has been available to continue to deal with the estate.

Very happy with the service provided, Paige Hinkins was or solicitor and was very friendly and approachable throughout. I was really impressed with how quickly and efficiently our questions were responded to, and Paige ensured the process of probate went as smoothly as possible for us.
I would very much recommend Brachers LLP and Paige in particular.

I recently updated my will. Paige Hinkins dealt with me and I was very pleased with the service I received.
The process was dealt with efficiently and I found Paige's advice straightforward and easy to understand.
The fees seemed about right.

Brachers are a long established and respected firm of solicitors. I recently went to the Maidstone office to review and renew my will.
I found the company both professional and friendly. Joshua WILLIAMS dealt with me. These are never easy issues to address. He personified the company's ethos, he listened sympathetically, set me at ease, quickly identified the path to take and promptly set about meeting my expectations. I was particularly impressed by the level of explanation to which Mr Williams went, to ensure my peace of mind. I found the whole experience cathartic.
I am indebted to the company and to Joshua Williams.
I would not hesitate to call upon their services again in the future.

I’ve recently purchased my first home and I was very lucky to have Tim Lancaster! Brachers as a whole were brilliant but Tim was especially hardworking and keen to get the purchase completed expeditiously and with as much ease as possible. Thank you to the team for making it a pleasant experience!!

This is my third time working with Brachers on a property transaction, and each experience has been nothing short of fantastic. A huge thank you to Diane, Clare and the rest of the team for their continued professionalism and attention to detail!

Despite some unexpected challenges during conveyancing, Diane managed everything with remarkable skill, keeping me in the loop and ensuring that matters progressed smoothly. Her expertise was apparent throughout, turning what could have been a stressful situation into a seamless and manageable process.

The sale of this property was a significant milestone, as the proceeds are supporting the ongoing care of a loved one. Diane's dedication and hard work played a crucial role in making this possible, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.

Thank you for your outstanding service, which was truly exceptional from start to finish!

Thanks to the team at Brachers for helping with our new commercial lease. We've been lucky in enough to work with Dawn Cole previously too and couldn't feel more supported under her and the teams care. We'll be back for any future help and suggest/recommend you do to.
