    Shocking experience

    Elliot booth recommended me this company for an eviction. She(solicitor) only issued section 21 .I paid her whatever the cost(I then £240).Then she made an agreement between me and the tenant for surrender the agreement. So this matter didn’t go to the court.I have received a bill of £880 .This £880 basically for the agreement and some phone calls and emails.Very simply I would say I have been ripped off.Definitely no chance I would go back to them again.If anyone wants to get their services,please make sure see their prices first.

    A representative from Blackhurst Budd Limited responded to this review

    We are unable to discuss the specifics of any client matter on a public forum, however we feel this review requires a clear response as it does not accurately reflect the work carried out or the outcome achieved. This was not a simple matter. It involved a thorough review of extensive documentation and careful legal analysis before any steps could be taken. A professionally drafted surrender agreement is a legally binding document and carries significant responsibility for the solicitor who prepares it. This is skilled legal work, not an administrative task. Crucially, by negotiating a surrender with your tenant, we kept this matter out of court entirely. Court proceedings in possession cases are lengthy, stressful and considerably more expensive. You avoided all of that. The outcome speaks for itself: you have regained possession of your property, resolved efficiently and without litigation. We would strongly encourage anyone considering leaving a review of this nature to first make contact with us directly to discuss their invoice, as we are always happy to explain in detail the work undertaken on a client's behalf. We stand fully behind the service delivered in this matter.

    Extremly helpful and a worthwhile excersize

    I came to Balckhurst Budd with very little understanding of the legal aspects of my work. Megan was incredibly helpful in both delivering a set of terms and conditions that reflect my unique business model, and helping me understand which aspects of the relevant legislation applied to me and which obligations are placed upon me. I would highly reccomend Megan and the team at Blackhurst Budd and have already referred them to several other fire safety professionals.

    Great experience from start to finish

    I've worked with Chelsie on two house sales and one purchase, and she has always been great. She kept on top of communication with both myself and the vendors' solicitors throughout, and the whole process was always smooth. Couldn't recommend her enough.

    Helpful and professional

    I have just exchanged on a house buy, which has faced significant delays and challenges due to the other party involved. For a significant amount of time now Chelsie and the team have kept me updated, answered queries and supported me when required. Despite the challenges raised Chelsie has managed to help me get things sorted and at every stage let me know what was needed from my end. Should I need further work in the future I would definitely go to her again, and have already recommended her to others.

    You often hear the bad stories around solicitors and conveyancers. Chelsie has been a breath of fresh air. Simple legal advice, contactable and incredibly prompt with responses. Couldn’t recommend her enough and I have done to some of my own clients and the feedback has all been the same. Thanks Chelsie

    We have just sold our house with Blackhurst Budd, it was a great experience. They kept us informed all the way, Lisa Hollamby and Jenny McPhee were so helpful, and made the experience stress free. It was fantastic that the exchange and completion happened so quickly at the end, we are very grateful. thanks.

    I have dealt with Blackhurst Budd Solicitors for many years and they never let me down! From buying property or arranging a lease they always work efficiently Briony & Julie are fantastic in what they do and very knowledgeable. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this firm for any of your needs! I recently referred Blackhurst to my partner who purchased a property in Liverpool and after a number of solicitors let her down I suggested she contact Blackhurst Budd Solicitors - they were cheaper than all previous ones she had used and completed the sale efficiently

    Many thanks Vick.

    It is obviously not the best time when you need to seek advice from a solicitor but Sharon made the process stress free and really put my mind at rest. She was clearly very experienced and made me feel in good hands.. i can highly recommend her. Joe
