Excellent service

In what could've been a complex transaction, with one house purchase and 2 property transfers, Samantha and Anne made the whole process run smoothly and easily. No chasing was needed and any questions I had were dealt with promptly. I would recommend Blacks solicitors.

Very professional

I used Blacks Solicitors to purchase my flat. Paul Firth and Elizabeth Minns were extremely professional and patient. I pushed to expedite the process by asking questions and they both were always very polite. Paul sounded like he was rushed off his feet but that only shows that he is busy helping the clients. Well done to both.

The Completion Day of LS14 6ZR

I am so pleased, grateful, and thankful that we completed the acquisition of a buy-to-let property—a two-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached Terrace House in the vibrant city of Leeds. Finding a reputable conveyancer proved challenging, and I encountered several setbacks before being fortunately referred to Blacks Solicitors by the care team.

Ms Rebecca at Blacks Solicitors exhibited exceptional professionalism and provided invaluable support. Her composed and helpful demeanour significantly alleviated the complexities associated with property acquisition. Despite encountering a few obstacles and dramas, the referral financial firms wasted three months of anyone involved time.

The efforts of the other associates at Blacks Solicitors in addressing my inquiries were noteworthy. However, I did notice a need for improved communication, particularly during Ms. Rebecca's absence.

Overall, I am delighted with the services provided by Blacks Solicitors. When inquiring about their potential representation for my future property ventures, I was pleased to receive an affirmative response. I wholeheartedly endorse Blacks Solicitors to any fellow female investors who, like myself, may be relatively new to the intricacies of property investment. Their expertise and commitment make them an excellent choice for individuals seeking legal guidance and support in the property market.

Best regards,
Sarah E Stephenson (Director)
