Fantastic job with a long and complicated house sale

Cailan did a fantastic job helping me with a house sale that proved to be longer and far more complicated than any of us had anticipated. She was extremely knowledgable, prompt, reliable and gave me excellent advice in difficult circumstances. She was also always friendly and professional. Thank you for the excellent work.

3 years legal advice

Due to a very unnecessary and unsavoury legal action against our property, we approached Barr Ellison for legal advice. We were definitely not disappointed with our choice. Extremely professional in every aspect of this firm, from reception, legals, and accounts departments over the three years. Linked to brilliant Fenner's Barristers (which we must mention, Alasdair Wilson ), a great team of exceptionally knowledgeable professionals. All were strong and steady at the helm of excellent legal advice. Sarah Payne was remarkable and very proactive in every way. We cannot thank them enough. Highly recommended.

Sarah Payne was exceptionally efficient in resolving a dispute with a company who was in breach of contract. It took prolonged negotiations and Sarah was always on top of things. She managed to get an excellent outcome for me without having to go to court. Sarah took the stress out of a difficult situation. Highly recommended.

Excellent service and value

Kelly and the team at Barr Ellison supported us with a commercial property disposal and on lease negotiations. Service was of a high quality and was both thorough and also at times pragmatic- both of which were appreciated. Kelly was available via phone and email throughout and always friendly and supportive. Fees were clearly communicated and well priced.

Superstar Cailan Thomas

Cailan Thomas is amazing. She is relatively new to Barr Ellison, but she has been our guiding hand from the starting line to the finishing post. What a lovely lady she is, kind, patient, approachable, knowledgeable, great front of house skills and always there to lend a hand. My husband and I have not bought or sold a property for over 40 years, so it was a completely unknown field for us with lots of hurdles along the way. She was always available by email or through the many telephone calls I had to make for advice, I must have driven her mad!! In particular we were very fearful of making mistakes as we were selling my in-laws house & we needed the money to pay for their care home fees, which are enormous. Cailan helped us through the process with lightening speed and everything was signed and sorted within 3 months. She is a great asset to Barr Ellison and they are very lucky that she has joined their practice. If we ever decide to move we will call on her services again, so a BIG THANK YOU to Cailan & Barr Ellison, you made a very stressful situation calm and bearable, we are very grateful.

Boundary Disputes

Boundary Dispute

Our neighbour laid claim to a section of our front garden after we had erected a fence within our plot, set back from the boundary. The fence was purely a physical barrier to keep our dog in and was placed where it was to avoid disturbing an existing hedge. Our property is semi-detached with our neighbour and, despite the new fence clearly being nowhere near the boundary of the two properties (the party wall line), our neighbour refused to relinquish the piece of our garden they had colonised up to our fence.

Our solicitor Sarah calmly, efficiently and professionally guided us through to a successful outcome to this dispute. With Sarah’s help we spent a couple of years trying to resolve the issue amicably, but when this failed we had no option but to take our neighbour to court. This action was successful with the judge finding fully in our favour.

I have emailed Riya the paraplanner a few times now regarding an ongoing case and my emails are always ignored. The previous communication i had regarding the same matter with a solicitor was a very slow response. The customer service here is unacceptable, I appreciate they are busy but i have waited over 2 weeks and still no response.

We had a fantastic experience with Cailan Thomas from Barr Ellison when purchasing our house. She was incredibly responsive, keeping us informed every step of the way—we never had to chase her for anything. The entire process was smooth and completely stress-free. We highly recommend Cailan to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient solicitor!
