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
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

My husband used the Chelmsford branch to do the probate on his Auntie’s Will as he was executor. They were kind and worked efficiently replying promptly to any questions he had. He also used them for the conveyancing. He recommends this Company.
Dear Sheryl, thank you for leaving a review for our teams. We are glad to have helped with your husbands matters and if there is anything else we can assist with, please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you again from the Backhouse team.
Recently used Backhouse for amending our wills and they were superb, came to our house and explained everything really well. Made us feel very comfortable and ensured we understood everything. Would definitely recommend.
Dear Ross, thank you for leaving a fantastic review for the team. We are glad you had a good experience using us as your Solicitors and if there is anything else we can help with, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you again from all at Backhouse.
Cannot recommend Backhouse Solicitors enough on our sale and purchase recently. Catie and Chelsea were both extremely professional yet also personable throughout the whole process and went above and beyond in terms of helping us [as the sale side of things was not the easiest!] We have also enquired with the firm for our wills [my Wife and I] as their conveyancing service has been nothing short of outstanding. Thankyou both so much for all your hard work! If we were to move again [hopefully not for another 20 years at least] we would certainly be returning to Backhouse.

My wife and I made new Wills with Rhys. The whole process was professional and well organised. We found Rhys to be a very personably man who is obviously very good at his job. Thank you.

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.

I really liked that I could always get through to somebody, and the team handled the work well amongst them. Thank you to all of the commercial team, Nabiha especially, for working through all the issues we faced; it was greatly appreciated.
An outstanding service from start to finish. As first-time buyer, I was unfamiliar with the process, but Robert and Megan guided me through every stage with patience and genuine care. They were always responsive, explained everything clearly, and kept me informed throughout. Their exceptional care and reassuring approach was outstanding!
Absolutely brilliant. So helpful, friendly and patient it was like someone holding my hand and guiding me through what is a stressful situation. (Moving house). Special thanks to Megan, Tegan and Rob.

★★★★★ Fantastic experience from start to finish I recently used BlackHouse Solicitors and couldn't be happier with the service. From my very first enquiry, the team was proficient and professional throughout the entire process. Communication was clear, my questions were answered promptly, and I always felt I was in capable hands. Everything was handled efficiently and with real attention to detail — nothing felt rushed or overlooked. I'd have no hesitation recommending BlackHouse Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality legal service. Thank you to the whole team!
