The team were helpful and worked through some challenges with the property well. There were times when they could have provided better clearer information requests to prevent ongoing back and fourths but overall we are happy with the service. Property purchase was complete. The worked through the Attenuation tank issue well and were able to advise us on that. The team did an excellent job at delivering exactly what we expected, even through some challenges which looked as though were going to kibosh the purchase.
Very efficient service and quick turnaround of information. Professional, friendly, approachable and efficient service from Catie, Chelsea and all the team. It was a niche property being sold - a retirement apartment with a short lease. A special thank you to Catie and Chelsea who have been exceptional throughout.
Efficient and seamless process, easy to understand. Prompt replies to enquiries raised by us, friendly, approachable, expert advice and detailed information provided, quick completing all tasks, all team members knew status of each stage of our conveyancing process, accounts team so helpful and empathetic. We benefitted from the team's previous knowledge and experience of conveyancing on the new build development / management company that we purchased from. Just a big thank you to Sarah Smith and all her team for their expertise and support during this process. We understand from Denbury Homes that our purchase went through in record time!
Catie and Chelsea were outstanding from start to finish. This was a challenging transaction with tight deadlines and real pressure right up to the final stages, but they handled everything with professionalism, persistence and clear communication throughout. Despite the time constraints and complexities, they stayed on top of every detail and ultimately got the deal over the line when it really mattered. Their responsiveness, organisation and ability to push things forward made a huge difference. Very, very pleased with the service and would not hesitate to recommend them.

A huge thank you to Colin Murphy and Rhys Tilsley. Having been given poor information and charged a fortune by a previous solicitors outside of Chelmsford, Backhouse provided excellent advice and a superb service at a reasonable cost. I really needed clear answers and help, and from the minute I walked in I received great and friendly yet professional support, which saved me money. I cannot praise these guys enough. Thank you

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.
A big thank you to Holli for her professionalism, understanding and speedy response
