A named executor in the Will did not want to take this on. We know Brachers' excellent reputation. She had an hour zoom call with Emma and Chloe, which was free. We then had an appointment and were both impressed with the professionalism of both! I have severe sight problems which requires all communication in hard copy. We have been kept informed o the work needed, time taken to dot his and costs. We were able to ring and email to speak both to Emma ad Chloe re any queries. Both are at the top of their game, great communicators and humane!

Property Transaction
I recently engaged Karen for our property transaction and was genuinely impressed by the professionalism, efficiency, and compassion shown throughout the process.
From the outset, the team was clear and communicative, keeping me informed at every stage and ensuring that all legal aspects were handled with precision. What truly stood out, however, was Karen's support during a particularly sensitive time for my family. Amid personal challenges, Karen's empathy and flexibility made a significant difference — she was patient, understanding, and always willing to adjust timelines or explain things more thoroughly when needed. We felt that Karen was someone who genuinely cared. Her attention to detail and proactive approach gave us confidence that everything was being managed properly, even when we couldn’t be as hands-on as we would have liked.
Costs were transparent from the beginning, with no hidden surprises, and the entire process felt well-organized and thoughtfully managed.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this conveyancing service to anyone seeking not only legal expertise but also a team that understands the human side of property transactions. Their support made a difficult time much easier to navigate.
A representative from Brachers LLP responded to this review on 04 July, 2025:
Dear Lisa, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt feedback. We’re truly pleased to hear that Karen’s professionalism and compassion helped make a challenging time more manageable for you and your family. It means a great deal to us that you felt supported and well-informed throughout the process. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Karen and the team. Best regards, Brachers

Absolutely professional, felt at ease and was very impressed of Emma's knowledge of the law and explained it to me in a way I could understand.
Completely covered all the aspect I asked or on my will so I can rest at ease now, knowing my last wishes will be carried out, as myself & my mother wanted it to be. I would certainly use Emma's services solicitors in the future & recommend to my friends and family.
Thank you. The building and rooms very well maintained too.

Will for vulnerable client
I recently had to arrange the preparation of a new will for my sister (age 86 with age-related difficulties). We decided to use Mary Rimmer and her 'Vulnerable Client Team'.
May I say how super-efficient they were from start to finish. Mary's extreme patience in handling a very awkward client had to be seen to be believed and everything as completed in a short period of time, much to my and my sister's satisfaction.
I would not hesitate to recommend Mary and her team for this type of work.

I have been trying to pursue a medical negligence claim for some time now and this keeps being delayedt by my doctor/consultants coming up with new excuses and recently I was mis diagnosed, I contacted this solicitors to try and take action against the party's concerned and highlighted the moving goal post I had experience. And this was why my original issue was several years ago and it is because I am now aware that there is an issue as they keep coming up with new excuses which I have to research to clarify the ventality of the doctors or hospitals claims. And so when I become aware that there can new claims are not valid this is from the date that the three years date applies. Having spoken to young lady she asked me which having spoken to young lady she asked me which trusts or hospitals etc was I looking to seek redress with. I mentioned the hospitals and she clearly stated that the firm could not pursue a claim in my case as it was a conflict of interest. This is the most honest that has solicitor has been with me in regard to this matter most just say I cannot help you goodbye. as you only have a set period of time to take the case to court this is disgusting I'm hats off to this company for stating that it was a conflict of interest and they are now going to recommend solicitors out of the area who may be able to assist me and I am waiting her email as I write this. They seem to have good integrity.
A representative from Brachers LLP responded to this review on 17 June, 2024:
Thank you for your feedback with your experience. On occasion we find that a conflict of interest stops us from acting on behalf of certain individuals or companies. In cases such as this we endeavour to be as transparent and helpful as we can. Hopefully in your case we are able to offer you some suitable alternatives. Many thanks again for taking the time to provide us with a review.

Used Brachers for selling a property. We were very impressed by the service that Chantal gave. She was professional, quick to return emails, answered questions clearly and got us in a good place ready to exchange. She communicated well and kept us informed. She went over and above to ensure the chain exchanged and we got to completion. I find house selling stressful, and she did her best to make it less stressful.
A representative from Brachers LLP responded to this review on 24 July, 2023:
Thank you for your feedback Trudi, we are really glad that Chantal was able to make the process of house selling less stressful for you and that you were happy with the level of service that we provided. We have passed this onto the team involved. If you need any guidance in the future please get in touch.

I really trusted our solicitor and they clearly made a great effort as the transaction approached completion. I would have liked to have been given weekly or fortnightly update even if just to say we haven't had ... Back from the vendor yet, so I didn't have to call the solicitors as often as I did. I appreciate the overall service and the fact things were dealt with promptly.
