Rebecca Pickles was the case worker for my remortgage matter. She did an excellent job, her communication was brilliant and responded quickly. As a Solicitor myself Rebecca did a remarkable job. I always use Black Solicitors for my conveyancing in Leeds and they always deliver. Thank you so much

5* Service
Fantastic experience with Faye Parkinson at Blacks for a recent investment property purchase. Faye went over and above by making herself available at short notice and always happy to chat or meet rather than it being a "service over email" like I've experienced with other Conveyancers. It made going through all the documentation much quicker and meant we got the deal over the line fast.

Black Solicitors is excellent and by far the best solicitors firm for conveyancing I have ever instructed. I recommend Blacks and in particular Jack Parkinson to everybody I possibly can when selling or purchasing a house. The transaction is seamless and I had no query or concern that Jack hadn't already first considered and acted upon. Cannot Thank Jack and the team enough. Highly Highly recommend!

Excellent Service
We recently worked with Hannah Parkinson from Blacks Solicitors on our latest buy-to-let mortgage, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. The service we received was nothing short of excellent from start to finish.
Hannah and her team were incredibly efficient, keeping everything on track and ensuring the entire process ran smoothly. What stood out the most was their attention to detail and how proactive they were — nothing was ever too much trouble.
Communication was clear, timely, and professional throughout. Every step was explained in a straightforward manner, making what can often be a stressful process feel completely manageable.
If you’re looking for a solicitor who delivers exceptional service with efficiency and professionalism, I wholeheartedly recommend Hannah Parkinson at Blacks Solicitors. We’ll definitely be returning for future property matters!
Thank you, Hannah, for making the process seamless and stress-free!

Lauren Grey
We have been using Backs Solicitors for few years now and our case handlers have changed but recently on our purchases and remortgages we had Lauren Grey as our case handler. Lauren has been very helpful and always prompt when it came to communication regarding our cases. Even when the cases have been complicated Lauren has done her best in order to resolve any issues. We highly recommend Lauren Grey

I have worked with various members of the Blacks team on remortgages and purchases or varying complexity. Most recently a remortgage with title merging and other complications. I have found them to be professional, easy to deal with and efficient. I would unreservedly recommend them and in fact do!

Experienced and professional firm. Have had such a positive experience on my first conveyancing work, now using Blacks as my trusted solicitors for the second time.
Lauren A and Ellie B have been great both times.
