Conveyancing

I form a limited company to buy my first property. My lender recommended these solicitor. I can’t call them a solicitor but a very slow coach. I emailed them no reply call them ask them for updates or advice no help at all. I have nearly missed my completion date because they haven’t told me to transfer funds to company name from the personal name even though I have asked them many time over the phone n email. I came back from Cairo just sign the documents n make sure to complete the transaction. Cost me extra £1500 towards travel cost. Never use them again not the professional people to deal with. But finally I have completed this transaction. They said they haven’t received my guarantee letter which was delivered 18 days ago. Luckily I have a record of delivery signed and dated. But still they was saying that go back to your solicitor get it another one. But when I give them the proof they finally found it in their office. Very unprofessional people.

Richard Baum is sensational

Richard Baum at Blacks is outstanding. I have worked with Richard for over 12 years on a wide range of transactions, including personal and corporate property acquisitions and disposals, both privately and through auctions. He has also advised my family on purchases, sales and refinancing matters. His advice, professionalism and commercial judgement are consistently first-class, and I would not consider using anyone else.

Black Solicitors are very professional on what they do. I had used them twice now for LTD company BTL conveyancing service. @Clare Braton and her associates were very efficient, approachable, friendly and cared every minor details I had requested them to do. I will not hesitate them to recommend my friends and families in the future.

Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing due to the conduct of the individual solicitor (Clare Bratton) handling my matter. Communication was poor, with material developments affecting my case not being relayed to me in a timely manner. In addition, funds were requested at a point when the transaction was not realistically ready to complete, which caused unnecessary concern and difficulty.

Affordable, knowledgeable and understanding

Couldn't be happier with the service I received. I had an auction, HMO purchase on a BTL Mortgage within a LTD company on a strict timeline. I got assigned Rebecca and Francesca and they were very helpful answering my questions and 1 of them was always available to help me throughout the purchase. Very pleased and will use again. Much more affordable than all other companies I received quotes from as well.

I would highly recommend Paul Firth at Blacks Solicitors. Paul helped me throughout the purchase of my houses and was absolutely excellent from start to finish. He was professional, knowledgeable, approachable and always kept me informed throughout the process. Buying a house can be a stressful experience, but Paul made everything feel straightforward and was always there to answer any questions and deal with any issues promptly. I really appreciated his hard work, attention to detail and the way he kept everything moving along. His service was outstanding, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for anyone better to handle my house purchase. A huge thank you to Paul for all his help and support. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Paul and Blacks Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor.

Exceptional service from start to finish

Fantastic service from Aarifah at Black’s throughout our house sale. Communication was exceptional — there was never a call or email that went unanswered, and even when things became difficult, Aarifah remained calm, responsive and completely focused on getting the sale over the line. We felt genuinely supported throughout and couldn’t have asked for better service. If we ever need legal support again, we wouldn’t hesitate to use Black’s. Customers for life!

I’ve used Blacks Solicitors for several buy-to-let completions and have received excellent service throughout. A special thank you to Aldene , whose clear communication, responsiveness and professionalism have made each purchase a smooth and positive experience. She has kept me informed at every stage and has always been helpful and approachable. Having worked with other solicitors previously, I’ve particularly appreciated the service from Aldene and the wider team at Blacks. I would happily use them again and highly recommend them to anyone buying a property, especially fellow landlords.

Just finished buying my first home with Blacks. It was a long wait, but definitely all worth it in the end. Bianca Newton was assigned to our case and was brilliant throughout the whole process. She kept us regularly updated and was always helpful and approachable whenever we had questions. As FTB we were a bit anxious whenever something got stuck or there were delays. Bianca was always patient, explained what was happening and helped us understand what was causing the delays. We really appreciate all her support and guidance throughout the process and would highly recommend Bianca and Blacks to anyone looking for a conveyancing solicitor.
