L rated 4 for Deonne for explaining to me what l had signed, and l still stand by that. l am grateful as she was very professional. But, if l was to rate Brar & Co on previous imployer on how my case was handled then a 2 would be more appropriate.

Terrible service. Never going back again. My legal documents were sent to a completely different address and now I can't get hold of them.

I am an estate agent who used them as a referral which I absolutely live to regret. So far 7 cases referred and so far 7 customers complaining. I have just had a look through their Facebook page and they either have a "power cut" or on a team night out which explains a lot. Irim in particular is the problem however BOB BRAR is now aware of the situation and doesn't even have the decency to respond or acknowledge complaint emails. AVOID!

Oskar dealt with my family matter very efficiently and was very responsive to my many calls and emails. He brought my case to an end with positive outcomes.

As a first time buyer moving into my first house couldn't have run any smoother. My overall experience with Brar & Co was excellent. I dealt with Sachin throughout my purchase who was professional, efficient and kept me calm throughout the whole process, he is a real credit to the company. Outstanding customer services from all the team who were extremely helpful at all times! I would highly recommend Sachin to others and will return to the company should I need any further services. Thank you very much! Best Regards, Jack

Many thanks to the team at Brar & Co for acting on our behalf during our home purchase. Saleem, Hannah, Pat and Bob were helpful and professional at every turn, and did an excellent job guiding us through the process. An excellent local company I can't speak highly enough of.

I used Brar & Co solicitors for both the sale and purchase of my properties. I found Sachin and Bob very professional and customer focused. They were always available to answer any question and I was kept updated at every stage. I would highly recommend this firm of local solicitors for house conveyancing.
