Thanks so much, from Lynn & Gary

Thanks so much from Lynn & Gary
Our Review referring to: Barcan+Kirby Kingswood & Bedminster Branch staff.
We have very recently completed the sale of our late mother’s bungalow via CJ Hole - Kingswood Branch, Barcan+Kirby were amongst a list of recommended Solicitors to consider using received from CJ Hole.
The whole process from our first meeting with representatives from both the Kingswood and Bedminster branch right through to final completion, we found the process to be completely stress free.
The team coordinated all requirements efficiently and effectively.
They were excellent at keeping us up to date on all aspects of progress.
We would like to add a special thanks to Caleb Kay, Laura Roberts & Robyn Eamer who we found all extremely helpful.
We can’t thank the team enough for their expertise and knowledge, time, care and support.
We highly recommended them.
Thank you all.

I was really impressed with Naomi, Shannon and Katrina especially with their promptness and they seemed to work really well as a team. I felt there was never a stupid question. They really pulled out the stops to complete my purchase to a timescale and it only took 3 weeks from viewing the property to completion.

I was grateful to B+K for remaining patient through a fairly lengthy and drawn out house sale and purchase. They acted very well on my behalf and communication was extremely good and timely. Absolutely no issues at all with the whole legal purchasing procedure.

Throughout the whole process of selling my old property and purchasing my new property, the team providing an outstanding service. They regularly updated me of how things were progressing and kept on top of missing paperwork from third parties without any prompting. One particular thing I would like to mention that made all the difference, was when you had a query or something actioned urgently, it didn't matter who you contacted in the team, they always knew your particular details and could help resolved things quickly. They were a wonderful team, professional and very friendly. It made a stressful process feel much easier to live through. Without hesitation, I would recommend them to family and friends.

I can not thank Kim and Victoria enough. Having a very difficult buyer they handled all queries quickly and kept me up to date regularly. My house move would have been more stressful without there care and professionalism. I would definitely recommend Barcan & Kirby Solicitors
