Brilliant from start to finish

Casey Ashton dealt with the sale of my previous home and the purchase of my new house and has been excellent throughout both! Communication was brilliant as was the efficiency! Wouldn’t use any other solicitor’s and would highly recommend Casey personally!

Experience Review

I have used Butcher and Barlow now on several transactions after them being recommended to me. My solicitor is Nick Ball who I would highly recommend. Nick is extremely approachable, is readily available, responds quickly, even at weekends, makes everything clear and simple and is extremely knowledgeable and highly competent - I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Outstanding Service

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nicolas Ball during the sale of a small piece of land, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service provided. From start to finish, Nicholas demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication.

Nicholas guided us through every step of the process with clarity and confidence. I felt that all legal aspects were meticulously handled, giving me peace of mind throughout the transaction. Communication was seamless; Nick was always available to answer questions and provide updates, making the entire experience stress-free.

What truly stood out was his attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. Their strategic approach and thoroughness were instrumental in ensuring a smooth and successful sale. I highly recommend Nicholas Ball to anyone in need of legal support for property transactions. Their exceptional service and dedication are truly commendable.

I had a truly positive experience using Butcher & Barlow Solicitors for an employment matter.
Mohammed came highly recommended to me, and I can see why. From the outset, he was extremely prompt in reaching out and made every step of the process clear and easy to understand.

He took the time to explain the progress from start to finish, and his reassurance that he was just a phone call away if I had any questions was incredibly comforting. The ID check process was simple and efficient, and everything was handled very swiftly.

We arranged a virtual meeting to go through my documentation in detail, and Mohammed was not only friendly and approachable, but also clearly very knowledgeable and professional. I was particularly impressed by how quickly everything was completed — my case was resolved within just 7 working days.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the service I received and wouldn’t hesitate to use Butcher & Barlow again in the future.
