London House Sale and Purchase

BTMK were an excellent choice for selling our old home and purchasing a new one. They are professional, knowledgeable and efficient. They are personable, engage in a customer centric manor with clear and concise information. We would highly recommend the services of Chris Maddison and his team.

Use Chris Maddison all of the time

We use him and his firm (BTMK) pretty much constantly on real estate transactions. His team Jade; Emma and Jane are all fantastic and work to horribly tight deadlines with almost no notice.

First Time Buyers

Amy was brilliant throughout the whole process of buying our first home. As first time buyers she really took the time to help us understand the process and was in regular communication which gave us a lot of reassurance.

Excellent and rapid service

We used BTMK for the sale of our home. We dealt mainly with Abi Dyer who was extremely professional, proactive and efficient. Abi dealt with all queries from both parties and kept us informed of progress throughout.

Super fast and super efficient!

Impressed with the way the deal was done ahead of a deadline having been let down by my (ex) mortgage broker. Having sourced the new mortgage, it was all down to Chris, Holly and Abi that it was completed before additional interest was charged. Many thanks to you all!

Disappointing experience

Remortgaging as a Help To Buy London customer has its own unique difficulties, but the lack of persistence from this Solicitors to pick up the phone and chase Help To Buy ended up delaying the completion and costing me. I was recommended this Solicitor by my Mortgage Advisor and I regret using them.

I called them a week ago & they said they could do what I needed, & asked me to email for an appointment. Despite further phone calls & emails, no-one has bothered to get back to me. I told them I needed this done before the weekend & they’ve now caused me a lot of grief, & I still need to find a solicitor to do what I need.

We had such a positive experience with BTMK Marcus Baum. Yolanda and Danielle kept us fully informed at every stage of the process and dealt with all our enquiries in a timely and professional way. Yolanda took so much of the stress out of the process. We would highly recommend BTMK.

About this branch

Description

Many years ago, there were four leading law firms based in South Essex. Travell Horner, Bates & Partners, Twitchen & Musters, and finally Robinson & Kelly. The first two, Travell Horner and Bates & Partners merged and became Bates Travell, and then the other two superb law firms Twitchen & Musters and Robinson Kelly also came together to become Twitchen, Musters, Robinson & Kelly – which was a bit of a mouthful so they became TMK Solicitors in due course. These two exceptional legal practices continued until they decided to join forces and became the BTMK that we know and love today.

Practice areas

All areas of personal law such as family & matrimonial, litigation & dispute resolution, professional negligence, childcare, employment law, insolvency, personal injury & clinical negligence, wills, probate, trusts & inheritance, injunctions, contentious probate and will disputes. All areas of commercial and business related law such as commercial property (buying, selling, entering into, disposing), business sales and acquisitions, commercial litigation and dispute resolution, intellectual property, insolvency and winding-up procedures, injunctions and employer related employment work.
