Got the job done.

This review is for a different branch.

Two experiences:
1. Will. Required a home visit because of my wife's health. Sound advice patiently delivered. Will completed and minds at rest.
2. Registration of home ownership. Completed successfully despite an expected long delay from the central registry.

We were kept well informed at all stages including the the time it would take for Land Registry Office to complete their action. We encountered no problems when dealing with the solicitor who was very pleasant, approachable and verry knowledgeable,

Excellent, professional service.

This review is for a different branch.

I wanted to set up Lasting Powers of Attorney. Everything was clearly explained and it wasn’t long before the papers were ready for me and my executors to sign. Then there was nothing else for me to do except wait for the final completion. Any to
froeing was handled entirely by the solicitor.

I used the Brockbanks Cockermouth solicitors for my house purchase, and they were great!
The purchase had a lot of complications from the house deeds and seller's solicitors, but Brockbanks were able to help and advise throughout and made sure everything went through properly and as quickly as possible.

Absolutely would recommend!

A representative from Brockbank Curwen Cain And Hall Limited responded to this review on 03 July, 2024:

Thank you for your business and for the kind review, which we have passed onto the team in Cockermouth.

It took almost 6 months to get the simple document I wanted made and every one of the three drafts they gave me (including the final one) had multiple spelling and or content mistakes.
