Used Backhouse Solicitors in Chelmsford to deal with the Probate of my Parents estate and the Sale of their Property. We dealt with two departments and both were very efficient and helpful, keeping us informed every step of the way. Would highly recommend for their professionalism and how they work for the best result for their client
The work done was very clear and all questions answered even 'spur of the moment' matters were dealt with quickly and effeciently. A friend of my late wife asked if I could recommend a solicitor for Will purposes and I recommended Backhouse. She later advised me that she was more than satisfied with the recommendation.
Reasonable cosst, itemised, prompt, efficient, quick to reply to any queries. Quote and actual invoice were consistent. Reasonable cost, cheaper than quote from esate agents suggested solicitor. Good service provided with probate and conveyancing.
Clearly advised charges and fees involved. Julia Sood is very thorough, proactive and knowledgeable. Julia understood and provided clear advice.
Julia listened to what we wanted and gave us advice on the way we could do our Wills
We had an excellent service from Colin Murphy who sorted out my late father’s probate application. Thank you very much .

Having to deal with the passing of both parents last year, we needed help with the setting up of probate, selling the house and all other bits and pieces that needed tidying up. Although the whole experience was stressful, it was made so much easier with the Backhouse team helping us all the way. The communication between the departments and our selves was first class. I would like to thank all the staff at Backhouse and could not recommend them enough Thank you all Regards Neil Harrington

I would like the thank the whole team for the sale of my old house purchase of my new property as my move was being rushed to the limit on a bank holiday friday at 530pm the team pulled out all the stops especially Megan being on the phone 545pm to finally complete. We would highly recommend using them again as every professional the whole way through and keeping us informed throughout the process. Once again would like to thank the whole team. Thanks John/Wendy Bostock 28th August.
Dear J Bostock, thank you for taking the time to leave a wonderful review for Megan and the team. We are glad to have got your completion over the line and wish you all the best in your new home. Thank you again from the Backhouse team.

I’ve recently used Backhouse Solicitors after being dismissed by my employer after over 30 years. I went to them just to get an offer agreement signed that my old firm had offered me. It was Sarina that told me that I had a good case for unfair dismissal and so the process began. Sarina was outstanding from start to finish. She listened to everything I had been through, and our conversations felt like a therapy session as well as legal advice. She was incredibly supportive, compassionate, and always made me feel like she was firmly in my corner. Sarina explained every stage of the process clearly, outlining all the possible options along with the risks and benefits of each approach. Her knowledge and professionalism gave me confidence throughout. After nearly 3 years of going back and forth with the other side (they were proving to be very difficult) we managed to get an out of court settlement over 3 times higher than the original offer. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Backhouse Solicitors, especially their Employment team, to anyone dealing with an employment dispute. Their support and expertise made a difficult situation so much easier to navigate.

Ahilan and Ben at the Chelmsford office were extremely pleasant to work with during what was a very stressful time for us. They ensured we fully understood the conveyancing process and guided us through it effortlessly, putting us at ease whenever we had a doubt or query. Thank you so much for making it a smooth process for us. We shall be back at Backhouse for our next acquisition!
