House Sale and Purchase

We used bright solicitors for our house sale and purchase. We cannot thank Katy O and Amy P enough for all their help and hard work. They were always just a phone call away and made the experience a lot less stressful than it could have been! Thank you!

Considerate and efficient service

5

Bright handled both the sale of our apartment and the purchase of our new house skilfully and efficiently. We felt they were also very good value for money.
As our first sale had previously fallen through they were extremely empathetic of our situation and this was reflected in their advice and costings.
We would especially like to mention and thank Adam Tozer and Millie Hollis who handled our sale, Katy Owen and Amy Pfeil who dealt with our purchase and Julie Milton for her advice.

Brilliant

Katy has been amazing throughout the whole process. She constantly offered support, would check in with us regularly and respond so quickly. We could not of been more grateful to have somebody so patient and kind guide us through buying our first home. She has been there to answer any questions whether it was to do with paperwork,the build itself or any issues that came up. I wouldn’t hestitate what so ever to use the company again. I recommend Brights to anybody!

My wife and I have used Brights twice now for our purchases, we instructed Katy on both occasions. She has been absolutely outstanding, both times, and her colleagues (Amy and Jemma) were equally great. The processes have been seamless with their hard work and really taken the pressure off what can be a stressful time. We will continue to recommend Brights to everyone and anyone.

We hadn't moved for over 20 years so were concerned how much things had changed. We chose Brights to do our conveyancing and found them more than helpful. Katy Owen and Jemma Ninnis sorted our queries for us and kept us informed during the process. Would use them again

How could we not give 5 star reviews. Brights are very approachable. The reception staff very helpful. Katy and Amy very informative. Altogether this made the purchase of our new home and sale of our last home a very efficient task. Thank you so much for everything. Kind regards Gillian and Neil Goodma.
