Shared Ownership

5

I would like to extend a big 'thank you' to Philip and Danya who acted for me with my recent purchase of a shared ownership new build house. Moving house is always stressful, but I could always rely on them to keep me updated and to ensure a smooth transaction to completion. Bright Solicitors were recommended to me by the sales team as they were familiar with the development, and they did not let me down. Thank you again for your support and expertise. I would definitely recommend you to someone else in the same position as me!

Absolutely fantastic!

5

We have recently sold and purchased a new property. It turned out to be a difficult process that lasted over 8 months and we were at a point where we thought it will just not happen, we will not get to completion. We are now in our new home, thanks to Danya especially, and Philip who have put in the work to make this happen for us. Their perseverance, expertise and dedication aided in our achievement.
The responses to our emails were received within the hour, and nothing was too much. Anything we were not sure of, Danya and Philip were happy to explain either through email or by phone.
I am so happy I chose Bright Solicitors and they will definitely be first choice firm for the future.

Exceptional conveyancing service

Bright have been very good from beginning to end on the purchase of our new build home. From the initial call to completion has taken just 5 weeks, and we haven't had to chase them once. Everyone involved including Danya, Philip and Jemma have been professional and helpful.

Property Purchase

I used Bright Solicitors, in particular Philip Williams and Max Williams, to buy my first home. They were incredibly professional, efficient and approachable and I would not hesitate to recommend them. All of my queries were answered in a swift manner, and the team made the purchase process for me as a first-time buyer completely stress free.

Whow - Excellent Service

5

Bright Solicitors were one in a million because of the additional help they gave me. As an overseas purchaser, the unknown processes and procedures to purchase a UK property were daunting and complicated. Bright 'led' me through the entire journey logically answering every questions with patience and complete clarity. They ensured all legal processes were professionally and thoroughly dealt with. I thank Bright Solicitors for getting me to the finishing post ! You were all amazing and I will only ever use you as my UK Solicitor. Thank you

I cannot recommend Bright solicitors enough. Danya mainly dealt with my house purchase and sale but I also had dealings with Phil. Both of them were excellent. Every time I phoned, one of them was always available to take my call and answer my queries and I had quite a few. It was a much less stressful process due to both of them and restored my faith in the profession, thank you.
