I contacted Burnett Barker Solicitors during a very busy period for solicitors (due to the stamp duty holiday). It was impossible to enage with solicitors over the period. In the end I waited it out. Immediately when the stamp duty holiday ended I got back in touch with them. The reason I went back to BBS was because they were the only solicitors (out of a lot!) that actually took the time kept in touch and not give 'production line' treatment. Miranda made contact the same day and what can I say, she was worth waiting for. The pace of service was incredible and she worked extremely well with the other party's solicitor, if anything I was the slowest clog in the transaction. A very personable service, always got back to me immediately and confidently answered all questions put forward. I honestly can't recommend Miranda and the team high enough.

First Rate and Fairly Priced

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 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 .

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.

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.
