Excellent Service

2nd time we’ve used Blacks Solicitors LLP for a re-‘mortgage. Bilal and his team (inc Debra) were efficient, responsive and approachable.

Will be instructing very soon on a 3rd matter.

Excellent Service

Eleanor and Sarah at Blacks Solicitors were fantastic during my property purchase.
The process became very frustrating due to delays and issues caused by both the lenders and the sellers, but Eleanor and Sarah handled everything with professionalism and expertise.
Their support made a difficult process much easier.
I highly recommend Blacks Solicitors!

Best solicitor around!

Josie was professional, but approachable. At a difficult and frustrating time, Josie made me feel at ease and I had the highest confidence that the issues would be resolved as quickly as possible. Cannot thank Josie enough for how the situation was dealt with! Definitely a solicitor to recommend!

Property Purchase

Used Lauren Grey at Blacks Solicitors for a company property purchase and couldn’t be happier with the service provided. Lauren was professional, friendly and on the ball. Easily contactable and pushed purchase through promptly to miss stamp duty increase. Would definitely recommend.

Outstanding Service – Highly Recommend!

This is the third time I’ve used this firm in the last six months, and once again, they’ve delivered exceptional service. A huge thank you to Hannah Parkinson, who has been incredible throughout.

Even during the hectic end-of-tax-year period, Hannah was consistently clear, responsive, and efficient with her communication. Despite how busy things must have been, I never experienced any delays or felt out of the loop.

Her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication have made each experience seamless and stress-free. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and committed – I truly can’t recommend her (and the firm) highly enough.

Thanks again, Hannah!

Outstanding Service from Blacks Solicitors – Caithlin McParland & Pav


I recently had the pleasure of working with Caithlin McParland and Pavitar Khela from Blacks Solicitors in Leeds for the purchase of my second buy-to-let property. From start to finish, their service was nothing short of exceptional.

Caithlin and Pavitar demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and efficiency throughout the process. They kept me informed at every stage, ensuring that all legal aspects were handled smoothly and promptly. Their attention to detail and proactive approach made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless and straightforward.

What stood out the most was their clear communication. They were always available to answer any questions, provided practical advice, and ensured that everything was completed on time. Their dedication and knowledge of property law gave me complete confidence in the transaction.

I highly recommend Caithlin McParland, Pavitar Khela, and the team at Blacks Solicitors to anyone looking for reliable and professional conveyancing services. I will certainly be using their services again for any future property transactions.

Thank you for your outstanding work!

Ltd company transfer

We used the services of Blacks Solicitors for Ltd company transfer of our property . The services we received from the company as well as our contacts Sharon and Debra was nothing short of spectacular . They were prompt in responding to emails and preempted every step as we had a narrow window of completion of 1 day at which point we didn’t have to pay the ERC and when the stamp duty rise was due . All documentation was sorted out effortlessly and clearly . I highly recommend Blacks and will use their services in the future for any other transaction .
