Conveyancing of sale of a flat

The sale was difficult because of new fire regulations. We were kept informed of the progress all the time and it was expedited quickly and professionally.

Thorough and effective

We have been clients of this Suffolk firm for many years. On this occasion, BG helped in the purchase of a leasehold apartment in London. There were a number of complexities associated with the lease and in the buying process. BG managed all aspects rigorously and shared much useful and complex material. The details were managed comprehensively. Thank you for your support.

Excellent conveyancing service

I recently used Barker Gotelee for the sale of my mother's previous house which was in trust. The service from start to finish was professional, efficient and I/we was/were always kept informed of each stage of the process. I would not hesitate to use them in the future.

Property Purchase

I was a nervous property purchaser but, soon put at ease by the approachable, kind, accommodating manner from Laura Veal and Hayley Tresize. I would certainly recommend Barker Gotelee.

My conveyancer sent me here to get a piece of paperwork sworn. Although I had no appointment, they were able to fit me in at short notice. They were gracious about it, when they could have sent me away. (My conveyancer hadn't made the effort to ask them if it was ok, first on the phone.) The newly qualified lawyer was very nice about it & made me feel welcomed. It only cost me a £5 too. They seem like nice helpful people.

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!

Super efficient… good at what they do!

Simona has dealt with a few of my conveyance matters through the years and is ALWAYS efficient and super responsive and great to deal with. Always willing to please and very helpful. Explains everything well. In this particular matter she was aided by her colleague Helen Brand who was equally efficient, responsive and helpful…. Great team!! A hearty well done to them both, …..I can assure you with absolute confidence that we would recommend Simona and Helen to any one and will use them again on all future matters concerning sales and purchases!

Great service from Simona

Simona was always very helpful. She replied promptly and gave us sound advice. She helped us smooth over a tricky issue towards the end of the purchase. Would definitely recommend to others.

New solicitor for me

This was a new solicitor for me. I was very pleased to have such helpful and forthright advice and appreciated all the sensible help that was offered. I was particularly pleased with the help they offered about the letter of wishes. All in all I was very grateful for their kindness in all their discussions with me and I would not hesitate to recommend them to my family, friends and acquaintances.

Excellent service

I am currently using Barker Gotelee for legal services required following the death of my father. This has prompted me to write my own will. So, at age 62 myself and my husband engaged the services of Thomas Woodlee. Thomas was approachable, knowledgeable and extremely helpful in understanding what we needed.

I cannot recommend Grace Smyth at Barker Gotelee highly enough. Grace recently represented me in a stressful employment matter and was brilliant from start to finish. She is thoroughly professional, gives clear and realistic advice, and has an incredibly reassuring, grounded presence that helped immensely during anxious moments. She always took the time to explain everything clearly, was highly responsive, and made the entire process feel completely manageable. Her guidance was exceptional throughout - I highly recommend her. Thank you again, Grace.
