Look no Further

I was recommended James E Barnes by a neighbours who he helped with stair-casing. I approached him with my complicated sale and he was very lovely and put my mind at ease immediately.
James and his team are impeccable and go above and beyond for every customer and has been incredible for the whole purchase. He explains everything step by step and makes me feel in the loop (as I do not like loss of control).
I have and will be recommending him to everyone who will listen.
Thank you James and team for making me believe their are good people in the world who care able their clients and aren't just after the money.

Exceptional Solictors

I’ve seen some negative reviews for this company and I feel like they must have been left either by competitors or for the wrong company as I have never experienced anything other than a completely positive service. I have used James E Barnes for three properties transactions now and I honestly couldn’t rate them highly enough. Jim has an incredible knowledge of Shared Ownership and some of the advice he gave me was invaluable. He is at the end of the telephone at any time and is happy to answer all questions, big or small. I must also say that Emma, who thankfully was assigned to my recent transactions, is an outstanding solicitor, extremely knowledgable, efficient and hard working, but more than that, she is kind, she kept me calm, took every call from me (sometimes several times a day!) and is an absolute asset to the firm!

James E Barnes Solicitors - a five star professional service and value for money!

Jim Barnes is a legal expert who goes that extra mile to get things done. In my case a lease extension with a very difficult landlord. Its also clear that he cares about people and makes himself available to reassure you through the legal process. He delivers value for money.

Highly recommended following an extremely positive experience

I would like to highly recommend James E Barnes Solicitors following my recent experience of using their conveyancing services. Despite there being many unforseen issues caused by other parties involved in my transaction, Jim and his team were persistent, tireless and professional to the end.

Based on such a positive experience and the knowledge that Jim puts his clients' interests at heart, I have already decided to use his services again.

Firm you can trust

Jim has been our family law firm for many years, my dad recommended him to us, since he has helped my family purchase many properties with ease & professionalism. Jim is thorough, man of integrity, does not cut corners, sometimes he has given us free advice & carried out further work without charge which is uncommon these day. Jim is kind and a great human being, compassion that you see rarely nowadays, no wonder why my father spoke so highly of him. I have also been recommending him to my friends & other people for their peace of mind. He will not disappoint you. if you wish to speak to me I am available to verify this.
