Exceptional Service and Support from Start to Finish

We recently completed a property purchase with the help of Blacks Solicitors, and the service we received from Rebecca, Echo, and the wider team was outstanding throughout. From day one, they were responsive, professional, and consistently went above and beyond to guide us through what can be a complex and stressful process.

They always kept us updated, answered any questions quickly and clearly, and made us feel completely confident that everything was being taken care of properly. Their communication and commitment to getting things done on time was exceptional — even when timeframes were tight.

We truly appreciate all their hard work, patience, and professionalism. We’d highly recommend Blacks Solicitors to anyone needing reliable, knowledgeable, and friendly legal support.

She's a great asset to the team and company.

OUTSTANDING SUPPORT FROM PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS

This was my first experience working with Black Solicitors, and I was genuinely impressed. The team was highly professional, responsive, and organised throughout. Ellie Booth and Lauren Axon stood out with their excellent communication and full understanding of my case even during phone calls, they knew all the details and kept everything on track. The whole process, related to a property purchase, went smoothly and exactly on time. As Golden Keys Properties, we will definitely continue working with them and would confidently recommend their services to others.

Blacks Solicitors and specifically Sharon Jennings were brilliant, from start to finish the entire process was remarkably smooth, and we are truly astonished at how efficiently and quickly everything was handled. Sharon was professional, an expert in her field , and her dedication made ,what can often be a very stressful experience, feel incredibly calm and straightforward.

We genuinely appreciate the clear communication, timely updates, and meticulous attention to detail she provided throughout. It gave us peace of mind, knowing that the property completion was in such capable hands. Sharon truly went above and beyond, and the speed at which you brought everything to a successful close was simply outstanding.

We definitely recommend Blacks Solicitors LLP!

Soldiering through despite the complications

I have just sold my late Mothers Apartment , this had been a bit of a drawn out sale due various legal hoops Blacks had to jump through ( deeds of variation etc ) plus the Maintenance company's unavailability and a Buyers Solicitor not the best at responding.
Sharon Jennings of Blacks ,although exasperated by it all I'm sure , was professional polite and informative throughout , bless her.

Jack has been so helpful to me and my partner and we are so glad to have had him as our solicitor! We are first time buyers so found everything daunting but Jack always answered our (many) questions quickly. We couldn’t be happier with how smooth our experience has been, so thank you, Jack!

Helen is incredibly professional, efficient, and always one step ahead

I've worked with Helen from Blacks Solicitors in Leeds on multiple property transactions over the years, and I can honestly say every experience has been exceptional. Helen is incredibly professional, efficient, and always one step ahead—making each process smooth, stress-free, and well-managed from start to finish. Her expertise and clear communication gave me full confidence throughout.

A special thanks also to her assistant, Amy, who was always responsive, helpful, and friendly—an absolute pleasure to deal with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Helen and her team to anyone looking for reliable legal support in property matters

I used Blacks Solicitors to buy my first home and I can’t recommend them enough. Rebecca and Echo were extremely responsive, getting email replies the same day or very easy to speak to over the phone. As a first time buyer, they made what was a confusing and new process for me so simple and easy. Thank you so much.

Blacks Connect are handling the conveyancing for the buyer of our house and they have been absolutely shocking. A complete lack of communication and delay after delay. We have had 4 days where we were supposed to move but we have not completed due to their lack of organisation, which has caused us considerable stress and loss of funds for removal fees, childcare, pet care, and annual leave from work.

They seem completely ignorant of how much this has affected us and our toddler, having to live in this chaos without any information on when we may be out of it, as they don’t confirm anything, or simply don’t respond.

I believe Paul has been the case handler, and based on this experience, I haven’t got a single good thing to say about this company.
