FTB leasehold purchase

Michael and Elizabeth at Bridge McFarland helped me through a freehold purchase (which fell through near exchange for unrelated reasons) and subsequently a leasehold which I recently completed on, so I went through effectively two transactions with them. The fact I stayed with them for the second round is already a clear endorsement. I am very happy with the speed (I was always able to tell the agent chasing me that "my solicitors have already gone back on this, we're waiting for feedback from the seller"), availability and advice received, and would definitely recommend their services.

A representative from Bridge McFarland LLP responded to this review on 06 May, 2025:

Thank you for making time to give your review. I will ensure this feedback is passed on to Michael and Elizabeth who will be pleased to know that they have provided an excellent service.

Excellent Conveyancing Service

From start to finish, Abby and the team were wonderful.
They detailed very clearly all the steps, timelines, and requirements from the beginning.
Were available anytime I had questions, or wanted an update, and they would also respond with all the information needed in the most timely manor.
Perfection!

Management Buyout

We engaged Jonathan Hyldon to assist us with some property leases as part of the sale of our business. This was the first time we had used Jonathan as the partner we usually use was on leave.
We found Jonathan to be very professional and efficient. There was a few issues during the business sale, involving our bank, which Jonathan was able to sort very quickly, even coming to the TSB branch with us to make sure the transactions were completed by the bank, correctly.
I would recommend him 100& to anyone looking for a professional job, done with excellent communication. We felt that Jonathan went above and beyond to help us achieve our aims.

Couldn’t have been better!

From the moment my mother unfortunately passed away they were very kind, professional and understanding. Many people helped me along the way which ended up being nearly two years. Each and every person was professional and friendly.

Good Communication and Commitment to the Job

This is the second time using Bridge McFarland for my Conveyance of the sale and purchase of a house. Michael Searle, Elizabeth Crombleholme and Courtney Isaac’s were all very helpful and was very committed to ensuring our completion was done before the 31st of March. They communicated with me well and helped me through any queries I had. Can’t fault them.

Property purchasing

This is only the second time in a few months I’ve had the pleasure of Gabrielle and her team doing the legal work for a property purchase. Gabrielle and her team are so proactive, clear and literally get back to you straight away in super quick time There’s NO waiting around for days or even weeks like some other solicitors firms They get back to you within a few hours. I would highly recommend Gabrielle and her team If you want someone who is professional, Knowledgeable and superfast. A business associate of mine Recommended Gabrielle and her team to me in December a couple of weeks before Christmas. I wanted something doing urgently even though she had deadlines to meet before Christmas and was super busy She still fitted me in and got it done within a couple of days. Highly recommended. 👌
