I am so grateful to Colin for his help with my new will. He was approachable, understanding and clear at all times, and executed the whole process speedily and efficiently. From the Receptionist’s warm welcome each time we arrived, Backhouse feels a really friendly company with a genuine ethos for client care. Our whole experience was thoroughly positive and we would recommend Backhouse without hesitation. Thank you to Colin and his colleagues.

Fantastic solicitors. Colin was great, helpful at all times and made himself available if we needed questions answered. We used Backhouse to settle an estate and for conveyancing as well . Both departments were efficient and did things in a timely manner. I have recommended Backhouse to friends and family already.

Recently used Backhouse for setting up POA for me and my wife. very professionally handled with communications timely and in understandable english, not legal jargon. Colin Murphy handled our business and our POAs are now in place - many thanks. Not the first time using Blackhouse and have been pleased with them in all of our dealings.
