I found Emily’s work for me was efficient and professional at every stage. She kept me informed at all stages of the process and it was all completed very satisfactorily. I would definitely use Battens for any legal service which I needed.

Successful will and LPA conclusion

A number of factors delayed us revising our wills for a few years. When we finally approached Battens (on recommendation) Emily guided us through the process and gave excellent advice. When emailing use with drafts her documents and responses were always prompt and she gave accurate timelines for completion. Emily was efficient and professional but very pleasant and understanding of our circumstances.

Conveyancing

We felt that Nicola Pugsley looked after us very well in the purchase of a flat for our autistic son. Unfortunately, the seller lied on the Law Society Property Information Form, so now we will probably have to sell the flat again with great financial loss (tens of thousands of pounds) and emotional upset. The Law Society Property Information Form is not fit for purpose.

A representative from Battens Solicitors Limited responded to this review

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind comments about the service you received from our team. The Property Information Form forms part of the conveyancing process but we are sorry that your overall experience has been affected by issues arising after completion. Kind regards, Battens Solicitors

Naomi and Hannah were amazing throughout my whole journey! I was in the best hands. They got back to me in such a timely manner. Naomi answered all my questions, queries and any worries. I was kept in the loop at all times. They chased the sellers sols when needed and really made the whole process so easy and smooth. Would HIGHLY recommend!! 10/10
