I have recently used Samantha Travella at Barker Son and Isherwood to sell my property, having used her services twice previously for other conveyancing work. The process has been completely stress-free as a result of Samantha's professionalism, speed and thoroughness. Samantha has been on hand to keep my sale on target despite multiple issues with my purchaser causing possible time delays, and thanks to her, exchange happened exactly when I needed it to.
I am really impressed with how diligently she has monitored my sale, and with her communication throughout. I will continue to use Samantha for all future purchases and sales and wouldn't think about going elsewhere.

I decided to try this company when selling my house. I found them exceptional. My Conveyancer was Kelly Carson. absolutely the nicest person. I found Kelly incredibly friendly, helpful and reliable. Always accessable and an absolute joy to talk to. The sale of my property went through very quickly with no issues. What more could I ask for. Thank you so much Kelly.

After an unpleasant experience using an 'online conveyancer' for a purchase several years ago, we were recommended Samantha from the conveyancing team this time around. Samantha dealt with our sale and purchase, ensuring a smooth process and clear communication from start to finish with us and the rest of the chain - It was a pleasure dealing with her. Would have no hesitation recommending!

Samantha at BS&I was incredibly helpful and highly responsive on our sale and purchase - we honestly couldn't recommend her any further! She was consistently on hand to answer any questions we had at a seconds notice, whilst also making sure all parties were on the same page throughout the whole process.

Barker Son and Isherwood acted for us in the sale of one house and purchase of another, despite the significant complexity of the processes due to multiple pieces of land and several stakeholders the process was completed quickly, efficiently and for a reasonable price. I have previously used the firm for employment law advice in my capacity as HR Director and again found them to be accurate, efficient as well as business savvy. I don't hesitate to recommend them for either personal or professional advice.
