Selling Property

5

I had a generally very good experience in the context of a complex house to sell. I received good advice, in a timely manner. My team of paralegal, supporting assistants and a supervising solicitor did a very good job of getting to completion in a difficult selling environment

Property sale

First class service. I used this company for the sale of my property. I found all the conveyancing team to be extremely proactive and kept me informed of all aspects of the sale promptly. Special thanks to Deana .

Deana Powell and Victoria Witts have been outstanding throughout this lengthy house purchase. Some legal restrictions delayed the process but these ladies kept me informed and helped me to buy our first home for my family. I am very grateful and would highly recommend this team. Thank you both.

Sale dealt with very smoothly by Deana and Victoria

5

We last used a solicitor 25 years ago to buy our property, so when it came to selling it, we used a firm recommended by the Estate Agent. Deana Powell and Victoria Witts from Brights, were assigned to deal with our sale. All communications were by email, post or telephone. We found both Deana and Victoria very helpful and both quick to respond to any query. We were more than happy with how they dealt with the sale of our house and would definitely use their services again when we buy another property.

A wise choice

5

How lucky we were to choose Bright Solicitors for our conveyancing needs. Both Deana and Victoria were the best ever. We could not have chosen better. They were always approachable, super helpful and friendly not to mention of course super efficient. We cannot fault the super service, not even a teeny weeny bit. If you’re undecided of whom to use then please do use our highly recommended Bright Solicitors. Like us you will not regret it.

Thank you so much to Bright Solicitors for helping us buy our first home!
As first time buyers we were very unsure of the buying process & had lots of questions throughout the whole process.
Deana responded to our emails quickly & if she was ever due to be out of office would let us know & give us a colleague as point of contact.
Lots of people told us that buying a house would be very stressful, but with Bright Solicitors ensuring everything moved smoothly we had little to worry about & in turn we stepped onto the property ladder with nothing but positivity & excitement to become home owners!
We would recommend Bright Solicitors to anyone who needed a loyal, committed, friendly, fast-working team to work with 😀
Deana, Alice, Molly, & the whole team at Bright Solicitors - Thank you for being incredible!

I'm overjoyed to share my outstanding experience with Bright Solicitors! Purchasing a house can be an intricate journey with many daunting steps, but thanks to the exceptional team at Bright Solicitors, particularly Deana, Alice, and their supportive colleagues, the process was made refreshingly simple and comprehensible. They meticulously organized all documents and patiently explained each step of the process, leaving no room for confusion or uncertainty. Their professionalism, coupled with their unwavering dedication to their clients, truly sets them apart. I am immensely grateful for their invaluable support and highly recommend Bright Solicitors to anyone seeking a seamless and stress-free property purchase experience.

Recently sold my house and used Bright Solicitors on recommendation from family. It's my first time selling so I can't compare to anything, however I can't fault them at all. Deana and Alice dealt with my sale, and they were just brilliant - fast communication and always answered my questions thoroughly. Deana went above and beyond helping me out with a query with the bank on completion day, and I am very grateful for everything :)

I would highly recommend Bright Solicitors.

We recently sold and purchased.. coming along several complications along the way. We had Deana as our solicitor with Alice as her assistant.. and I couldn’t fault the service. Everything was by email.. so easy.. any questions I had were answered so quickly.. we were able to discuss things whenever needed.. phone calls were always accepted and they always gave the time to listen and discuss any issues.. nothing was too much trouble and they were so personable and approachable.
Literally the best experience we’ve had with solicitors.
10/10.. highly recommend.. brilliant!

We recently sold and bought using Bright for our conveyancing. They were so efficient and gave really good advice for both transactions. Compared to traditional conveyancing the way bright do it ( for a fixed price) is fantastic. Julie and Deana were both amazing: keeping us informed,responding to our queries and acknowledging our communications. And no pointless meetings: it was so easy. Redesigning conveyancing: brilliant.
