54 years of good service

I first used Brachers 54 years ago and have used them over the years for buying/selling properties, wills, power of attorneys and family trust establishment/ termination - all of which shows my high opinion of Brachers and their professionalism.

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.

My experience of solicitors engaged to support the many house moves over the years has been, at it's best, adequate. None have ever gone over & above, it has always seemed like they are going through the motions & actually didn't care that much whether the sales were completed or not. That is until my father-in-law engaged Brachers & we were assigned Tim Lancaster. Why any different? Well Tim seemed to care; always quickly responsive to queries/concerns answering in plain English to make things easily understandable for us. He wasn't just a name at the end of an email but someone we met & conversed with. He was kind, thoughtful - human! - & we cannot thank him enough for enabling such a smooth process. Should we choose to move in the future, I would not hesitate seeking his service again. Thank you Tim.

Absolutely grateful for the service we received for my disabled brother. He was wrongly criminalised for offences he had no control over due to a brain injury. He was facing several charges 2 of which were to be trial cases at crown court. Thanks to the team but especially Mae!! He was proven unfit to plea or stand trial and every case was closed. We had used a few solicitors prior to Mae and honestly it was awful. They had jo understanding of my brother and constantly refused to deal with him. It's taken 2 years and a lot of heartache but finally thanks to this lady and her kindness and understanding we can finally close this chapter. Her knowledge and basic common sense is second to none. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and especially Mae to everyone. Thanks so much. I cant explain what this means to us. Forever grateful.

A representative from Brachers LLP responded to this review

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're truly glad to hear your brother received the support he needed. However, we believe this review may have been intended for another law firm, as we don’t have a team member named Mae. If you’d like to confirm, feel free to contact us directly. Wishing you and your family all the very best.

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 !
