Reliable, dedicated conveyancing team

I can’t thank Joanne and Emma at Jordan’s Solicitors enough for the brilliant job they did handling the sale of my dad’s flat. The process was far from straightforward due to a particularly difficult solicitor on the buyer’s side, who seemed determined to make things as challenging as possible. Despite that, Joanne and Emma navigated every obstacle with professionalism, patience, and great attention to detail. They kept us informed throughout, stayed calm under pressure, and went out of their way to ensure the sale went through smoothly in the end. Their support made a stressful situation so much more manageable, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a reliable, dedicated conveyancing team.

David Grove provides a great service. I've found him to answer emails in double-quick time and provide straightforward, commercially focused advice. Fees are fair, and the timing of invoices equally so. Top man in my view.

I have dealt with Andrew Wynne before. What impressed me this time, as previously, is that he knows and understands my situation completely (not always the case with solicitors, who often have to be reminded of points) and provides absolutely clear and useful advice and direction.

David is simply excellent - responsive and does not get into the silly arguments with other solicitors one often sees. He just gets his bit done, quickly ( super rare!) . Straightforward & sensible lawyer and sensibly priced - couldn't be happier with him.

We have dealt with FBCMB over many years now and have never been disappointed with the level of service provided. Calls are always returned promptly and matters dealt with efficiently. We would certainly recommend FBCMB without hesitation.

Sue...Just amazing!

I cannot thank Sue enough for everything she did for my son and our family. From the very beginning, she showed incredible compassion and truly understood how stressful this situation was for us. She put an immense amount of work and effort into his case, leaving no stone unturned. Whenever I had questions or worries, she was always there to reassure me and explain things clearly. Thanks to her dedication, we got an amazing outcome that was exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend her services!

I appreciated the personal service rather than being sent to a call centre for enquiries. Sharon James and Cori Whittall supported me fully at a difficult time when I needed to sell my mom's property following her death. They helped me navigate the sales process to complete all the necessary paperwork and I was always able to speak to either one if I had any queries. I couldn't have asked for a better service and would definitely recommend them to others.

Separation Agreement & consent Order

Hannah helped draft a Separation Agreement and eventually obtain a Consent Order in my favour in what eventually became a protracted and complicated case due to continual delays and obstacles presented by the other party. Hannah remained professional and diligent at all times, offering reassuring advice where needed.
