We have used Barker Gotelee for a number of legal services. They are an excellent firm of solicitors who offer a great service and have great legal knowledge. Laura Veal who carried out our property sale did an excellent job and the sale was completed in a very professional manner and the service and response during the sale process was exceptional.

I just want to thank Nicola & Bridgette so much for their conveyancing services during the sale of my flat, they were always very responsive & fees are very reasonable compared to competitors, without service being compromised. I would recommend them to anyone selling or buying a property!

Highly recommend; I was able to obtain a lawyer at less cost or higher cost, the cost I paid was because for the service I received, excellent value for money. My lawyer kept me informed at all times during the process and took a proactive approach to ensure timescales were maintained - an important factor in the process. Providing a thorough search and guidance to ensure my position was protected at all times.

On Wednesday 20 December 2023, I wrote an e-mail to Luke Cain at Barker Gotelee explaining that I wanted to buy a McCarthy Stone Retirement Apartment. McCarthy Stone themselves had advised me to use Barker Gotelee. I received a reply the very next day setting out procedures that would be followed and offering guidance on selling of my, then, present property. My case was taken on by Solicitor Laura Veal and I was invited to attend their offices at Martlesham, which I did on Tuesday 16 January 2024. I found Laura to be very helpful and efficient and very aware of security issues, which I found reassuring. Laura kept me informed at every stage of the operation and was always available to help me with any queries I had along the way. One time that stands out in my memory was when, on the telephone, she patiently went through a batch of forms with me, one by one. McCarthy Stones' original offer to purchase my house, as a quick offer deal, was not realised and I am very grateful for the guidance I received from Laura at that stage reference selling the house myself, which turned out to be excellent advice. The house was sold by a local estate agent and I moved into my desired Retirement Apartment on Thursday 6 June 2024. I have already recommended Barker Gotelee to many of my acquaintances if they should ever need help in moving house.

This is the second time I have used Barker Gotelee for legal services. On each occasion I have found them to be highly professional, knowledgeable and approachable. After suffering less than perfect legal services from other solicitors I have eventually found a solicitor I trust and can unreservedly recommend.

With some conveyancers, particularly the cheaper ones, you are left wondering who is waiting for whom, and whether anything is going on. With Nicola there is no need to chase and you are kept fully informed. At the same time, if there is a need for a discussion, the advice is clear, helpful and delivered without jargon.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Elizabeth. We're pleased that you are happy with the service you received from Nicola and we'll be sure to pass on your positive feedback.

I have only spoken briefly to a member of their conveyancing team on a slight legal matter via a telephone call. But the service and advice I was given was very professional and put my mind at ease.

A great company who like true chess players, helped me outclass, outfight and outmaneuver my siblings during a highly contentious probate process, something that my siblings further escalated by making totally false accusations against me and further complicating the issue by trying to take me to court. it was a pleasure seeing my sister finally get her comeuppance; being put in a humiliating position; pulling out of the false legal action against me; and subsequently being forced to pay my legal fees in the end.
I would therefore definitely recommend Barker Gotelee solicitors. I would like to thank and recommend Nick Palmer for his impeccable patience, stoicism and virtue during what was a very stressful time for me and the friendly staff who helped me through what was a difficult time, but I managed to get through.

Barker Gotelee recently helped with both the sale of my property and the purchase of a new house and I was extremely happy with the service provided. Nicola Cawthorne was always quick to respond to any enquiries, communication was excellent throughout and was also incredibly patient with various changes that took place to the properties we were buying over a 10 month period from start to finish. I would highly recommend Barker Gotelee if you are buying or selling!
