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.

From our very first interaction the New-Build Team at Barcan + Kirby made buying our first home feel simple rather than daunting. Abi, Shannon and Katrina were unfailingly calm and courteous, even when we rang yet again with another question. Their efficiency was remarkable: little more than a month passed between our initial enquiry and completion, beating a tough deadline. As first-time buyers the entire conveyancing world was unfamiliar to us, but they guided us through every stage with speed, patience and professionalism. We can’t thank them enough.
