Good feedback throughout the sales process

I have used Rania several times when buying and selling properties. The friendly professionalism of her and her assistant Alice made the sale of our leasehold property go as smoothly as possible.

I have just done my Will and LPAs and it made a big difference doing this with Henrietta Brett, Burnett Barker. I knew it was not particularly straightforward and also I changed direction several times. Henrietta was patient, understanding and steered me professionally with great sensitivity. Not only is she an experienced and highly professional solicitor, she took time and paid attention to what I was trying to achieve whilst ensuring that legally and in other ways I was protected.

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.

Excellent from start to finish

Really pleased with the service I received throughout my property purchase. The whole process was handled professionally and efficiently, and communication was always friendly and helpful. Any questions I had were answered promptly, and everything was explained clearly, making the whole experience much less stressful. Second time instructing Rania and Alice, they’re lovely team to deal with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you for all your help!

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.

Adam was professional and very personable. I never had to wait or push for replies, I would receive answers via email or calls. I felt looked after and Adam had empathy with any waiting that we had to do. I was kept upto date always, I knew exactly where we were and what was expected. Everything explained where I could understand fully, not just jargon.

I've never met Miranda face to face, I've spoken many times to her on the phone, I've always found Miranda to be above all friendly, eloquent, very professional and a delight to communicate with, I will say I've found that to be the case with all of her team too. Moving home, as many know is a very stressful thing to do, but I have no hesitation in saying I can totally recommend the team at Burnett Barker if anyone is considering selling their home or buying their new home . They're a Great bunch of totally dedicated professionals.
