As first time buyers hoping to beat the stamp duty changes at the end of March, we were extremely impressed with how quickly Keighly worked. Our flat was leasehold, our offer was accept in mid-January and thanks to Keighly, we managed to complete before the end March, saving us thousands of pounds. We never had to chase Keighly and it always felt like she was going the extra mile for us. We would definitely recommend her.
A representative from BTMK Solicitors responded to this review on 02 June, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words. We’re thrilled Keighly could help you complete on time and save money. Your recommendation means a lot!

We have been using BTMK Solicitors for years now, I first came across Yolanda's name when she assisted Kevin Bourley and we were using him for our conveyancing needs; it was great to then discover she is now working in her own right. She is so helpful and informative, she is really knowledgeable and efficient at what she does. I find Yolanda to be flexible and approachable, responding to emails throughout the course of the day and evening sometimes. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Yolanda Hollis.
A representative from BTMK Solicitors responded to this review on 28 April, 2025:
Thank you so much, Kay, for your continued trust in us and for your kind words about Yolanda. We are thrilled to hear that Yolanda’s helpfulness, knowledge, and efficiency have made such a positive impact on your experience. It’s wonderful to know that her flexibility and responsiveness have been valuable to you throughout the process. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to assist you. We look forward to supporting you in the future.

I would like to thank Adam Fleming and his team at BTMK for all the help, advice and continued support over the last 2yrs, keeping me updated throughout. It's been a very stressful and emotional journey. Adam has been very professional throughout and I couldn't have got through these last couple of years without him and his amazing team. I would definitely recommend BTMK. I can't believe the situation has finally been resolved.
Joanne.

From start to finish, Keighly was brilliant - she was always proactive, thorough, and clear in her communications with me. She always promptly answered any questions I had, making me feel comfortable in the process of buying a flat. I'd happily recommend her to anyone!

Our journey with this practice started off in October and ended in March. Along the way, we were kept informed of the progress with the sale, and anytime we wanted to reach out it was just either a phone call away or an email. Response times were great and we have been very happy with the service

I initially instructed a different firm of solicitors in leigh on sea where the service provided was extremely poor. Luckily I realised early enough and changed to BTMK solicitors and Joe Burns was dealing with my case. Joe is very professional and hard workig solicitor! From instruction to completion it took about 4 weeks and that included dealing with some complex issues on the way! Thank you very much!

Currently purchasing a house and the sellers are using these solicitors. Absolute joke from the beginning, delayed sending the initial paperwork to our solicitor, lied about when it was sent, slow to respond to queries and we've been waiting on them for 2 weeks now as everyone else is ready. It does not take 3 weeks to sort out an indemnity policy! No chance of exchanging this side of Christmas now as they close tomorrow and we'll be lucky if they even look at their emails today. Avoid!

BTMK acted for us in the remortgage of our property and simultaneous purchase of a buy to let property.The team involved were Matthew Clarke, Holly Pain, Hazel Bourke and Rebecca Witterick.
We were extremely impressed at the efficiency, helpfulness and courtesy shown to us. The team were readily available to speak to and if not, our calls were returned promptly. Similarly, emails were answered promptly and anything we didn't understand was explained to us. The transaction was completed in under 3 months, which, during lockdown, was very impressive.
We would not hesitate to recommend BTMK or use your services again

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.
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.
