    Thank you - Excellent service

    A most pleasant experience, selling and buying property can be stressful, but not on this occasion. Thank you to Sara Smith for the seamless, professional, friendly and efficient handling of our sale. Visiting the Maidstone office was also a good experience. Reception staff and office staff were efficient, friendly and welcoming, such a nice environment to be in. I would have no hesitation in recommending Brachers to friends and family.

    There more to conveyancing than conveyancing

    I had used the firm for a property transaction some years ago and it was done extremely well. on this occasion it was more difficult. There was little engagement, it proved very difficult to obtain information about progress and I had to insist on contacting a partner on two occasions. The legal work was ok but at a stressful time it proved extremely difficult to understand at each stage how the process was going. it is reflective of the transaction that my letter to the partner raising this point and thanking her for the work was not acknowledged. I also note that others have commented on the same point

    Alan John's experience...

    Everyone that I have had the pleasure of speaking to, and working with at Brachers, has been professional and easy to deal with, despite the challenges of both my sale and my purchase. It has not been an easy journey, due to matters completely outside of our influence, but we carried on and saw it through to successful fruition on both the sale and the purchase. The one thing has to be the support for my family and I through it all.

      Tim was recommended by the estate agent selling my medieval property in Canterbury. Thank goodness they did! Tim was the perfect solicitor to deal with the challenges of what turned out to be a rather fraught sales process, particularly because of the age of the property and the over zealous and unreactive buyer's solictor. Tim dealt with all the issues, queries etc raised by their solicitor quickly and in a very friendly, efficient manner. Throughout the whole process, he was patient and reassuring which undoubtedly kept my stress levels in check! Tim gave an outstanding service and I can thoroughly recommend him!

      We have worked with Sara Smith other the years when moving house. We used them again recently. From the date we accepted the offer on our house, Sara and her team managed to help achieve completion in 8 weeks. This would have been even quicker without the Christmas break. We recommend using Brachers for your house move. They are professional, efficient and help you work to your timescales wherever possible. Thank Sara, Katie and Mia - amazing job !
