Will writing
I was very nervous about writing a Will but Lindsey talked me through it. We kept it simple and she explained things very well. I also liked the wish list. This will be good to upkeep, if necessary. Location was good too as was parking.

Changing solicitors & updating Wills & LPA/EPA
Our previous solicitor had sold its client base to another party and the new solicitor wanted to do everything by phone. This led to errors and missed appointments, so we moved to Barker Gotelee. This was a painless exercise and we had face to face meetings with our solicitor, and the whole thing was undertaken quickly and efficiently. We would recommend Barker Gotelee and certainly use them again.

Trustworthy and super efficient
Our whole experience was seamless. Lindsey was so helpful and made it stress free. The whole matter of renewing our wills was done in a very short time. We will continue to use Barker Gotelee for any transactions and have used them for many years for purchase and sale of properties.

I would highly recommend
I cannot recommend Lindsey and Nicola highly enough. Throughout a difficult and often painful process they made everything so much easier to navigate. Their professionalism, understanding, and unwavering support were invaluable and they truly went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. They turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into something much more manageable, and for that, I am deeply grateful.

Amendment of my will. Arranging Lasting Power of Attorney
I found it straightforward to make an appointment. There was a friendly, relaxed atmosphere which was reassuring. My solicitor was professional and knowledgeable. I was given plenty of time to ask questions and has clear answers. The legal service was concluded in good time at the cost first stated. I would certainly recommend Barker Gotelee to others.

Excellent from start to finish..
Lindsey Luke and Caroline were the members of Barker Gotelee I had dealings with, all of of whom for different reasons and on different occasions were excellent from the start of an estate probate process, through the conveyancing of a property to the conclusion. Professional, clear in costings, friendly, timely and approachable. I would definitely recommend this company to others.

Considerate Service
I was very impressed with the service from the point of contact to the final completion of my will. Lindsey visited me at home on two occasions. in order to compile the information and subsequent paperwork. Lindsey was so friendly, informative and extremely professional, a pleasure to do business with.
