I have recently updated my Will with Henrietta Brett of Burnett Barker. I found her to be very professional and pleasant to deal with. She came up with some good ideas and also signposted us to Government online forms re Lasting Power of Attorney which was helpful. Overall, the service offered was good value for money. I will be using Burnett Barker again.

Professional, responsive, thorough house sale

Rania originally helped me to buy my home in Suffolk. 7 years later I asked for her help to sell my home and this has been a wonderful and successful process. Rania and her colleagues have been warm, approachable, responsive and entirely professional as well as thorough and methodical as she helped me navigate the selling of my property. All done in a very efficient way, communication has been easy and I'm so pleased it's used Burnett and Barker, and Rania Clarke once again.

Katy and her team were very professional and kept me updated throughout the sales process. It did take longer than I was hoping but I think that was partly due to other people in the chain using ‘on line’ solicitors. I would certainly recommend Katy for your property matters.

Thank you, Stephen. We're pleased that Katy and her team kept you updated throughout the transaction and that you felt well supported from start to finish. As you noted, delays can sometimes arise within a property chain where online-only firms are involved, making progress harder to coordinate. We're grateful for your patience and your recommendation, and we'll be sure to pass your comments on to Katy and the team.
