I cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism, expertise, and dedication shown by Sharon Hundal and her team. From the outset, they provided clear, honest advice and kept me informed every step of the way.

Sale of 13 Bowling Green Road

Although the purchasers seemed to drag out this sale for numerous reasons Carol and Kim did all the chasing they could and finally got the sale completed. They kept me updated at all times. Carol has done several conveyances for us (since my previous solicitor retired) and we have always been pleased.

A Stress-Free and Supportive Experience

I recently used Borneo Martell Turner Coulston to write my will, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received. From the first meeting, Susan was friendly, clear, and reassuring. Susan's calm, professional approach made what can, for some, be a daunting and emotional process, straightforward and stress-free.
Susan explained everything in plain English, answered all questions patiently, and supported ably by Leanne ensured the final document truly reflected my wishes and that every detail was accurate and in line with what I wanted. I appreciated that during the process I felt listened to and respected.
I'm grateful to all at BMTC for making the process so smooth. I recommend them to anyone seeking expert, compassionate support on such legal matters.

From our first meeting, Sharon Hundal showed great expertise and a true dedication to my case. She listened to my concerns, answered all my questions, and made the legal processes easy to understand, which made me feel valued and reassured.

The firm’s atmosphere was welcoming and professional, making visits to their office enjoyable. The support staff was also friendly and efficient, enhancing the overall experience.

In summary, I highly recommend Borneo Martell Turner Coulston LLP Solicitors to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Thank you for making a difference in my legal journey!

I am incredibly grateful for the support provided by Sharon and Milly during a difficult period of time. They both conducted themselves with the highest professionalism and were empathic and approachable. My options were clearly explained.

I have used Carol and Kim at the Kettering branch for over a decade and they deal with all of my "property" transactions. I would not dream of using any other conveyancer. Carol never lets me down and I completely trust her.

Mohamed was incredibly rude on the phone, stating that he was wasting his time (on a 5 minute call) without even listening to the case we were presenting or answering any question. He also implied we didn't have enough money to pursue a case. Unprofessional and rude, don't contact them if you need any help.

About this branch

Description

Borneo Hughes Martell had been a well-known name in Northampton since the early 1970s although its history as a Bedford based law firm can be traced as far back as 1869. Since 1982 it had based its practice in offices that had formerly been the science block of Notre Dame Convent School in the town centre. The firm Turner Coulston was formed in 1993 when local solicitors Keith Turner & Ashton merged with Leo Coulston & Co and continued business from the Billing Road offices that Leo Coulston & Co had occupied for many years. In 1996, the firm acquired the legal practice of Clark & Co in Kettering and then incorporated Hodson Margetts, solicitors in Raunds in 2004. Today, the 9 partner firm of Borneo Martell Turner Coulston and its total staff of around 50 people across its offices in Northampton and Kettering offers a comprehensive legal service to both commercial and individual clients. We have a strong team of lawyers and support staff enabling us to offer our clients expert advice in a broader range of areas.
