Andrea from Battrick Clark acted for my brother and myself in the sale of a property. She kept us well informed during the whole process, and when there were some minor issues with the freeholder, dealt with them with adroitly. I've no hesitation in thoroughly recommending her and the services of the company, and would definitely use them again.

Battrick Clark completed a slightly complicated transfer of equity and remortgage for me. They were fantastic all the way through, answering all my questions and queries and keeping me up to date. Everything completed as needed and all parties happy. Very pleased with the service from Battrick Clark, thanks again.

Just completed on a sale/purchase with Battrick Clark - their service is fantastic. Summer Brown handled our conveyancing, and she was quick to reply to emails, had detailed knowledge of the housing market and constantly chased other solicitors and mortgage companies that were slowing the process down. I'd definitely recommend her services and those of Battrick Clark (we had other legal paperwork that was sorted by them) and will look to use them again in the future when we sell.

I found that my dealings with BC were timely, concise, thorough, &friendly while acting as an executor of a will of a family friend. The solicitors involved were available & responsive in communicating the intricacies of the process. There were a few bumps in the road as one might expect but I felt confident that we were moving steadily forward in response to every query or unexpected event. I consider that their fees were reasonable and the billing was clear and sent out at regular intervals for approval. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this team.

I used these solicitors when I sold my house. My solicitor Andrea was very nice, very helpful and explained everything to me when I asked her. She always returned my emails and phone calls in a timely manner, and was always on top of the process moving things along. Very good service, thank you.

I wanted to post a review for this company as it has been one of the best experiences I have ever had when dealing with Solicitors. Solicitors never know exactly the sort of person they are dealing with and what circumstances surround them, but in this case Andrea who was dealing with my case was absolutely fantastic. she would reply to my emails out of house sometimes and when I explained my situation and deadlines she delivered 100%. Fantastic service.

Amy from Battrick Clark has been amazing throughout the conveyancing process. It was our first property purchase which was quite daunting, but she put our minds at ease. Amy was super responsive and kept us up to date throughout. I highly recommend Battrick Clark to anyone wanting to purchase a property.

I have bought a property in Bristol (UK) using this firm and their conveyancing team is excellent. I highly recommend Battrick Clark if you need to buy a property and I'm sure they are excellent also in other matters if they apply the same professionalism and work ethic. Regards

The manner Battrick Clark Solicitors dealt with our Remortgage is beyond our expectations. Within a short time frame thanks to their professionalism, efficiency and knowledge they brought our case to completion. During the process, whenever I sent them emails with various queries they replied within one hour or less, always addressing my issues. Many thanks to Andrea Jefferies our Case Handler! I strongly recommend Battrick Clark Solicitors and I would certainly use their services again.

I don't normally review legal services because in our experience they have been average to awful but Andrea at Battrick Clark has been a star through what was quite a bumpy sale. She has been continually upbeat and encouraging and most of all, she has been there whenever we needed to speak to her. We will be using her again in future, and I have never said that about any other conveyancing solicitor ever before.

As a buyer, my experience so far can be summarised as "the Home Office is the epitome of customer support by comparison" Absolute lack of commitment to dates or milestones. Repeatedly missed target dates. Slow to process any step with often repeated requests on the same subject. Unfortunately I have not taken my property yet or exchanged contracts. As a cash buyer without chain I cannot begin to imagine how much worse it would be in a difficult case. This is resulting in additional unnecessary costs to myself. I selected this company based on the good reviews, hopefully this will help others avoid that mistake.

My daughter and boyfriend worked with Kaye Taylor from Battrick Clark on their most recent purchase. Kaye was not only at hand when needed but acted promptly and professionally throughout. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Kaye and the team. Phillip Clark

The conveyancing of our rental property has gone smoothly. We have been very happy with Andrea who has been efficient and pleasant to deal with. We will be hoping she is still available when we sell our own home in the future.

Despite the mad housing market due to the stamp holiday duty, Amy and her team were impressive to say the least. They were significantly quicker than both our buyer and sellers' solicitors and whenever I had a question Amy was very quick to respond. I would absolutely use Battrick Clark again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and quick sale/purchase.

We had Kaye Taylor helping us buy our first home, she was professional throughout the entire process and was always available to answer any questions we had and give us advice when we needed it. She helped make it a smooth process and we'll definitely return for our next moves in the future.

Excellent service from Ruth Sampson and her team at Battrick Clark Solicitors. My partner and I used them for selling two houses and purchasing our new house. They are professional, provide a brilliant service and I thoroughly recommend them. Due to the excellent service we are also using them for our wills.

Andrea was a pleasure to deal with and can't recommend her enough. I currently live in Australia and decided to sell my property at Home. When i first started to enquire with solicitors, Most put it in the too hard to deal with basket. Andrea had reassured me its common to have overseas owners and its a very simple process. Thank you again :-

Completed on the sale of my flat today and very happy I choose Battrick Clark. As a lawyer I felt some pressure to select the right lawyers as you often get what you pay for but there are lots of firms out there to choose from offering great rates! After reading the reviews I went with BC and glad I did. They were quick, efficient and friendly and I highly recommend Andrea who worked on my sale. I was also glad of the "no sale/no fee" they offered when my buyer pulled out the day before the date we exchanged on!
