Trustworthy and super efficient

Our whole experience was seamless. Lindsey was so helpful and made it stress free. The whole matter of renewing our wills was done in a very short time. We will continue to use Barker Gotelee for any transactions and have used them for many years for purchase and sale of properties.

Incredible Service!!

I honestly felt like I was Laura's only client (!). She responded to all my emails very quickly and worked very hard to enable our house sale to complete in 9 weeks and our purchase in 7 weeks. Absolutely incredible given that recent stamp duty changes did mean lots of people pushing for similar deadlines. Laura and Hayley ensured all communication was sent to us immediately. They literally are a 'dream team'. Thank you ladies.

Sale of late mother’s house

Our solicitor Simona and her secretary Hayley were professional, helpful and approachable. Communication was timely and easy to understand. Potential problems and queries from the buyers were easily dealt with, backed up by clear knowledgeable advice.
I would definitely recommend Barker Gotelee Solicitors ….thank you.

Sale of our late father's house

The introductory letter we received from Barker Gotelee was disappointing as it's a generic form and didn't tally properly to our case and we were confused that the solicitor's name was different from the one we'd been advised of. However, the solicitor who mainly dealt with our case was impressive. She had to respond to many demands from the purchasers' solicitors, her many emails were clear and she responded very quickly to ours and was easy to talk to on the phone, understanding what we were saying.

I went to Barker Gotelee Solicitors to do my Power of attorney. The solicitor that dealt with it was very efficient. There's plenty of parking and the offices are on the ground floor. I can recommend them.

I have only spoken briefly to a member of their conveyancing team on a slight legal matter via a telephone call. But the service and advice I was given was very professional and put my mind at ease.
