I dealt with Brachers on behalf of my sister in selling her home, following her admission to a care home. It was an absolute privilege to be looked after by Karen who guided me through a frustrating sales experience and I was grateful for her guidance and her patience. Nothing was too much trouble and I enjoyed excellent and friendly service at every stage.

Liam's experience...

The process has been smooth and impressive. I have been exceedingly happy with Karen's thoroughness on our behalf and I am very pleased that we chose Brachers. I work with you as the main contact for my employer, with the Employment team under Catherine Daw, so I knew I would get excellent support from the firm, but it is always nice to confirm it.

Karen's experience...

Harjit Khalo has been absolutely excellent. 3rd time lucky with our sale finally going through, and Harjit has been there with us every step of the way. Her professional knowledge is excellent, she responds to enquiries quickly and every time has got us ready for exchange in less then 8 weeks. If you want a quick, knowledgeable, responsive solicitor, I cannot recommend Harjit enough.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, Karen! We know that trying to sell a property can be an emotional rollercoaster, especially when it takes three attempts to finally get across the finish line. We are absolutely thrilled that Harjit was there to support you every single step of the way. Congratulations on the successful sale!

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!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We're delighted to hear that Tim was recommended to you and that he lived up to that recommendation throughout what sounds like a particularly complex transaction. We'll make sure your kind words are passed on to Tim. Thank you again for choosing Brachers, and we wish you all the best with your next chapter.

Excellent service from Emma

I approached Brachers to assist me with updating my will and putting in place powers of attorney. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Emma Hegarty who made the whole system 'human', efficient and uncomplicated. I would highly recommend.

Excellent Service, Professional and Thorough Throughout

I recently used Brachers Solicitors and was extremely impressed with the service I received from Lisa and the team. The entire process was straightforward and efficient, and I genuinely felt they went above and beyond to ensure I achieved the best possible outcome. What particularly stood out was not only Lisa's excellent legal knowledge, but also the level of preparation that had clearly gone into each of our conversations. She was always fully informed, well prepared and able to provide clear, practical advice, making the whole experience remarkably smooth. I felt confident that my interests were being properly looked after throughout. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lisa and Brachers to anyone looking for knowledgeable, professional and genuinely committed legal support.

I am very pleased with the Service I have received from Brachers. Arranging my Will and LPA following my mothers passing and her additional ongoing issues seemed like a lot to take on in one go but everyone at Brachers was approachable, patient and understanding with me while I got my head around it all. By the time the paperwork was completed I felt that a good thorough job was done and I was glad to have left it in Brachers hands. Thank you.
