Remortgage
I had the pleasure of working with Caithlin McParland. She has been fantastic, the best experience I have had. So helpful, approachable and responsive. I felt like a priority and her most important client. I cannot thank her enough and Blacks solicitors as a whole. I will definitely be working with you in the future, particularly Caithlin. Thank you again.

Very good experience with Samantha Slyth, always on hand to answer questions and efficient in getting documents processed. Nothing to fault other than the pricing could be more competitive.

Investment Purchase
We used Blacks for the purchase on our investment property and found them excellent. We had to change our lender along the way and Caithlin dealt with our case quickly, efficiently and was always quick to respond.
I would highly recommend.

Very happy with the service
I was actually referred to Clare at Blacks through my mortgage advisor. I was happy to go with their recommendation as I trusted my advisor. It was also nice that they had a good relationship as it meant they could liaise with each other well throughout the process. I have heard a lot of people moan about their solicitors during their buying and selling process but I have absolutely nothing to complain about. Clare was very knowledgeable and always replied to me very quickly. She put up with me contacting her regularly to get her to help explain things to me and to chase everyone throughout my sale and purchase. I am very happy with the level of service I received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a good solicitor. Thank you again for all your help.

Brilliant solicitors with 5 Star communication.
I’ve used Rebecca and Echo for 6 purchases/remortgages.
They do a great job and are tiers above other solicitors I’ve used in the past.

I would like to extend a big thank you to Blacks Solicitors, in particular Charlotte and Tom for all their hard work. I was given the task of selling my aunt's house recently which was quite a responsibility. This was made much easier for me because of the support I received from this company and their staff.
Thank you so much.
