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.

As someone who values professionalism and effective communication, my recent experience with Blacks Solicitors left much to be desired. Throughout my interactions with the firm, I encountered significant shortcomings that ultimately marred my overall impression.
From the outset, it became evident that communication was a major issue. Despite my attempts to stay informed about the progress of my case, I often found myself in the dark due to a lack of responsiveness from Blacks Solicitors. This lack of communication only served to exacerbate my concerns and hindered the smooth handling of my matter.
Moreover, it was disappointing to observe a distinct lack of due diligence on the part of the firm. Critical details were overlooked, leading to unnecessary delays and complications in resolving my case. This oversight not only prolonged the process but also cast doubts on the competency of Blacks Solicitors in handling legal matters effectively.
In addition to these operational deficiencies, I was dismayed by the apparent disregard for client respect. Basic courtesies seemed to be overlooked, and I felt undervalued and marginalized as a client. Such a lack of consideration only served to further sour my experience with the firm.
Overall, my experience with Blacks Solicitors fell far short of expectations. For a firm that prides itself on professionalism and quality service, the reality fell disappointingly short. I sincerely hope that Blacks Solicitors takes steps to address these shortcomings and improve their standards of service for future clients.
In conclusion, I would caution potential clients to carefully consider their options before engaging with Blacks Solicitors, as my experience suggests that there are significant areas in need of improvement within the firm.

We have been using Blacks Solicitors for the last few years and I would highly recommend them anytime any day.
Eleanor Firth and Sarah Brown have been pillars in my property investment journey . Their attention to detail has been exceptional and brilliant
Believe it or not I have had over 30 mortgages and re-mortgages with them.
Their Communication skills and professionalism is second to none.
It is even more reassuring and appreciative when you have been with a different legal team in the past and the difference is so clear.
We are not going anywhere soon

I recently engaged Blacks Solicitors, with Lauren leading our re-mortgaging process, and I couldn't be happier with the service provided. From start to finish, Blacks Solicitors, under Lauren's guidance, exhibited remarkable efficiency, attention to detail, and transparency, making the entire process a breeze.
Their speed in handling paperwork and legalities was truly impressive. Within a short timeframe, Lauren and the team managed to complete all necessary tasks without compromising on quality, ensuring a swift re-mortgaging process without unnecessary delays.
Furthermore, Lauren's commitment to providing detailed explanations at every stage of the process was invaluable. She patiently addressed all our queries and ensured we fully understood the implications of each decision we made. This level of clarity instilled confidence in us throughout the re-mortgaging journey.
Transparency was another standout aspect of Blacks Solicitors' service. Lauren ensured there were no hidden fees or surprises along the way. They laid out all costs and terms upfront, allowing us to make informed choices without any ambiguity.
Overall, I highly recommend Blacks Solicitors, particularly Lauren, for anyone seeking assistance with property re-mortgaging. Their combination of speed, efficiency, attention to detail, and transparency sets them apart, making them a trustworthy partner in navigating the complexities of property transactions.
