This is the second time Rania had acted for us in a house sale. She had previously been the solicitor for someone who bought from us and she was so good that we resolved to ask her to act for us in future. This proved to be a wise move as she was able to resolve a potentially challenging legal issue that had been completely missed by our previous conveyancers when we had purchased. This latest sale was quick professional and seamless and I cannot recommend her and her team highly enough

Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Andrew! It is the ultimate compliment that you chose Rania to act for you after seeing her impressive work from the other side of a previous transaction. We are delighted that she was able to spot and resolve that hidden legal issue to protect you, and that this latest sale was quick, professional, and seamless. Thank you for your loyalty and your highest recommendation.

We needed a short notice appointment and Laura was able to find us a convenient time for what we needed. Advice was clear and email communication kept us appraised of progress. A follow up appointment completed our current business, again at a very convenient time. We found Laura and other members of the Burnett & Barker team to be professionally friendly and easy to work with. As a business their rates were clear from the start and acceptable to us.

Customer for over 15 years, trying to remortgage a property, that they conveyanced ,won't do it, perhaps because its low value, so now I have to try and find a solicitor on a specialist lenders panel, to go with the stress of higher rates and extortionate arrangement fees, thanks . Its not the quick response I am complaining about, its the fact that you conveyance the property in the first place, there's plenty of time to meet the deadline of July 31st, it would be so much simpler as the property hasn't changed, now being quoted extortionate fees, thanks again

Dear Mr Crabb You have left a one-star review because we let you know, within 12 mins of receiving your email asking if we could assist, that we are unfortunately unable to do so on this occasion….? Had we accepted instructions and then after starting work let you know that we couldn’t continue to act, a negative review might be understandable. Likewise, if we had not responded to your email in a timely fashion. Neither however are the case. You have since called our office and spoke in an unnecessarily rude and unpleasant manner to an assistant on the property team, who explained again the reason that unfortunately we are unable to assist on this occasion. Your response to her was that you would “leave us loads of bad reviews” and that we would “be getting hammered now”. Thank you for mentioning our low charging rates for this type of work and our membership of many specialist lender panels. It is sadly for that reason that this service is so popular with our clients and results in us being at capacity right now for that type of work and thus unable to help with it at the moment. It seems that despite having acted in your best interests by not accepting your instructions to act in a matter where we do not have the necessary capacity to do the specific work to the usual high standard we (and you) expect, your response is sadly to leave a spiteful negative review as some form of revenge. Thank you for your many instructions over the years. We are saddened that you have chosen to end our relationship on such a note.

Can’t praise Rania, Dee and the team enough for their efficient, professional and friendly way when dealing with a somewhat complex conveyancing on my recent house sale. They all happily gave me their time and assistance whenever I needed it.

We used Burnett barker for our first house purchase, Katy raven was appointed to us and we cannot recommend her enough! After two house sales falling through Katy worked tirelessly to get us moved forward on our third property updating and liaising with us every step of the way. Burnett barker also didn’t charge us much when the first sale fell through and they didn’t charge us on the second property as it wasn’t our fault it fell through which was a real help in the midst of everything. Friendly local firm who we highly recommend using if you want a smooth professional purchase experience.

Thank you very much for your 5-star review and for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to hear that Katy provided such dedicated support throughout your house purchase, especially after the challenges you faced with earlier sales falling through. Her commitment to keeping you informed and moving things forward is something we’re very proud of. We’re also pleased we could support you fairly during those setbacks, and it’s great to know this made a difference at a stressful time. Thank you for recommending Burnett Barker — we wish you all the very best in your new home and would be happy to help again in the future.

Rania & Dee at Burnett Barker recently completed the conveyancing on our house sale. They were fantastic to deal with all the way through the process. They were generous with their time answering our many questions, and were friendly and professional throughout. We'd highly recommend.

We are very pleased with Miranda Mortlock. The Infotrack was very difficult for us to navigate and this made the process stressful. It would have been nice to have a face to face appointment to overcome some of the issues we experienced .

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you were happy with the service provided by Miranda. We are genuinely sorry to hear that you found the InfoTrack portal difficult to navigate and that it added stress to your experience. We completely understand that digital platforms aren't for everyone, and we always want our clients to feel fully supported. Your feedback regarding the need for face-to-face appointments is incredibly valuable, and we will look at how we can better balance our digital tools with personal, in-person support moving forward. Thank you again for your input, and we wish you all the very best.
