Sale of 22C Lancaster Drive. Ipswich

Compared to anywhere else who i have dealt with over the years they are way ahead. Professional and yet friendly. I felt valued and had total confidence in them. First people on my recommendation list.

Friendly, efficient and trustworthy

Both Nicola Cawthorne and her secretary Bridgette Wright were absolutely superb in dealing with the conveyancing for the sale of my property. From start to finish they were friendly, efficient and trustworthy. I am currently using them again for another legal matter and will continue to use them in the future. 100% recommend.

Excellent Conveyancing Service

We just used Barker Gotelee for conveyancing. Their service was excellent and very responsive. Would highly recommend the firm and in particular our main contacts of Helen Brand and Simona Cuibus.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
