Jenny, Becky and Lisa have been fantastic throughout the process which took three goes to successfully move to our new retirement home.
I can’t praise them enough always calm, helpful, supportive and very competent, great to work with.
I would highly recommend Jenny, Lisa and Becky 10 out of 10 rating that’s amazing when we’ve had three goes it’s how you deal with things and engage people which they are outstanding.

Thank you to Jenny and team, very professional, very efficient. I left a previous solicitor because they were incompetent and having Jenny was a breath of fresh air.

Having had 2 terrible experiences with previous solicitors when moving house/remortgaging, and one average one, I approached a purchase and sale transaction with some trepidation. I needn't have worried, as Asha, supported by Lisa and Becky handled everything on both sides of the transaction promptly, efficiently and thoroughly. I was always up to date with what was happening, and even when one of the other parties solicitors made a mess of things, Asha was able to sort everything and pull the whole chain back on track. When Asha went on leave just before completion, Jenny stepped in and pushed everything over the line in an equally professional and efficient manner., Barcan+Kirby, and Asha in particular have restored my faith in solicitors, and while I hope not to move again, if I do, I know where I will be going to have the conveyancing done.

Jenny was all the team were amazing from start to finish. We had a bumpy journey, especially at the end but they worked hard and went above and beyond to make sure we were fully aware of what the situation was and what they were doing to resolve it. Would really recommend.

I was very happy with the service provided by Jenny and her team, especially at the point where I could talk to them over the phone or in person they were very informative and patient with my questions as a first time buyer. I felt that they took interest in my matter and genuinely looked after me. both Lisas', Jenny, Becky and even the two lovely receptionists that I had the occasion to meet when I was physically at the office, were all willing to give the time of day which is much appreciated.

I was recommended Barcan + Kirby by our estate agents, Lisa Costa, in Thornbury. Jenny, Becky and Lisa were very swift in everything, and pleasant to deal with. From having my offer accepted on the house in January I got the keys in May so it was great. In total contrast to what people told me about buying a house it was quick and pleasant. Thanks very much!

Jenny, Lisa and Becky (Barcan+Kirby Solicitors) have been amazing throughout the buying and selling of our property. Very professional and thorough throughout the process, the differentiator being they are very friendly, great to work with, good communicators a team you can trust and led exemplary by Jenny. They deliver and do what you’ve agreed and keep you engaged along the way. I would highly recommend Barcan and Kirby, Jenny, Lisa and Becky.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Jenny and her team. This is the third time I have used their services, and I would highly recommend them. They consistently go above and beyond, offering reassurance and expert guidance throughout each stage. Their attentive approach and clear communication help put clients at ease, whilst their prompt responses and thorough updates demonstrate their commitment to exceptional service. They genuinely care about their clients' needs and work tirelessly to ensure a smooth, worry-free process from start to finish.
