Limited data.

This firm - 99%
National Average
Poor Competitive Excellent

Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.

This score has been calculated using up to the last 300 reviews left by clients of Blackhams on ReviewSolicitors.

  • Approximately how much did you end up spending for the legal services provided (ignoring disbursements and court fees)
  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
  • Overall experience

We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

Wonderful service

I cannot think of any way you could improve the excellent service I received. Tracy was so kind and extremely helpful and given the consideration of the difficulty covid has presented this did not affect the wonderful service in any way.

We instructed Blackhams for conveyancing of our first house purchase. I enquired by phone and Tracey Allsopp took the time to fully understand our situation and sent over a reasonable quote – (other firms I contacted in Birmingham were rude and couldn’t wait to get you off the phone). From that point on I knew we were in safe hands. They were very responsive and did what we asked of them. Only problem was the use of the Thirdfort App to verify identity, which could be quite cumbersome and unresponsive. But otherwise, stellar service and highly recommended.

Really impressed with these guys, who helped me buy and sell recently. Aisha and Ben are great, responsive, act quickly in your best interests, and professional.
Will be using them for some other affairs in the near future. Great, local firm.

I delt with Ben James, during the sale of my house. Due to the age and condition of the house and that it was part of a probate case it was more complex. However Ben and his team handled the difficulties politly and efficiently and kept to their fixed price quotation. I was nicely impressed.

Martin was our conveyancer on our first move and was absolutely fantastic, he kept us informed at every occasion and was transparent with the process so we felt very in control of everything.

On our second move we changed due to personally knowing another solicitor. The service fell very short of Martin’s, and despite not representing us, Martin and Tracey were incredibly helpful in offering advice and helping to resolve problems that arose based on their previous findings. We will absolutely go back to the firm under any future circumstance where we need solicitors and wholeheartedly recommend their service.
